Al Jazeera is an interesting channel that has had a lot of good documentaries over the years.
edit: compared to Fox, CNN and MSNPC, watching Al jazeera felt like 'news for grown ups'

I'm having trouble warming up to The Dispatch. I like Goldberg, and I really like French and Levin, but their new effort kind of falls flat for me.

Lawfareblog is IMO required reading to get analysis on major national security and national security related legal topics.
Some think it's a leans left place. I don't see it that way. On numerous topics over the last few years I've seen them publish on different sides of an argument. It's contributors seem to be well placed in whatever space they are writing about.

To prove the point they are not tribal/partisan, here is a very good piece about the recent strikes at Iranian government officials/terrorists.
"2. Okay, so the issue is self-defense. Now we have to argue about “imminence,” right? No, we don’t have to do that. Everyone is doing that, to be sure. But it is not obvious that these strikes depend legally on whether there really was an imminent attack to be averted."

When I was a boy, astronomy fascinated me. I liked Carl Sagan's Cosmos series very much. It was like an adventure, educational and gave serenity. Awesome combination. Mr. Tyson's remake of the Cosmos series was good IMHO but not as great as the original.
Which astronomical or astrophysical sources do you recommend besides Mr. Tyson?
When I answered to your posts last time, I came right from the pizzeria where I had a good time with an old friend and had some wine intus. Made me think less before posting, sorry.
Do you have an example, what astrophysics did teach you? Perhaps you have a nice lesson to share?
