my favorite newspaper for awhile now has been Neil Young's 'NYA Times-Contrarian' at his music archives site https://m.neilyoungarchives.com/news/1
I don't subscribe to the site anymore as I don't have a way to play the music but the newspaper is accessible without a subscription.  The headings are across the top and the stories cover a lot of what I see as important subjects.

I don't know this band's sound, 'Reverend Billy and the Stop Shopping Choir', but I like the attitude and this meme that he posted...and someday I'll have access to some good speakers again.....

a movie with 'Reverend Billy and the Stop Shopping Choir' 🙃

https://m.neilyoungarchives.com/news/8/article?id=Religion%20-%20%20NEW%20FILM%20INCLUDES%20REVEREND%20BILLY

Produced by Academy Award winning filmmaker Adam McKay (“Don’t Look Up”), known for his satirical films blending comedy with political and economic critique, “You Need This” delivers a provocative analysis of capitalist consumerism and its effects on the planet and society.

Imagine a world devoid of advertisement, a world where human beings are not reduced to consumers, their desires and behavior dictated by an economic system driven by consumer capitalism.

Dissecting the psychological and societal mechanisms that drive mass consumption, the film traces its roots back to the unregulated post-war American economy, when natural resources seemed infinite and the pursuit of material wealth, driven by aggressive marketing strategies, became synonymous with success and happiness.
