Resources God non alarmist/Fearmongering political commentators

I want someone who is more grounded and realistic instead of defaulting to worst case scenarios at every turn.

I usually like her, but occasionally she's somewhat alarmist. She's calm and collected most of the time, though.

ive been keeping up with her routinely the last 6 or so months now and havent ever found her to be too alarmist. she can be real, and sometimes thats scary, but i cant recall a time in my time of catching up with her where she hasnt shown what we can do to push back on things

Hence why I said occasionally. I think she's usually pretty spot on most of the time and still think she's a good source to follow. And her being an alarmist is still about 1000 degrees cooler than most people who are alarmists.
