I listen to an NPR stream in my office at work. It has some BBC stuff on it. For local news, I go to the "alternative" newspaper called the OKC Gazette. The sponsors are smaller and it's not so tainted with editorials trying to convince us that giving handouts to corporations (probably advertisers) is a smart thing.

I'll never forgive our local paper for the FRONT PAGE EDITORIALS they wrote in support of OKC taxpayers paying for Bass Pro Shops to open a store in our entertainment district. Coincidentally, the owner of the paper had (he's dead now) a 1/3 stake in Bass Pro.

And the people of the city fell for it hook, line, and sinker (pun intended).
