Also stopped reading any news and reports from big media about 3 years ago.
Just curious are there any independent investigation journalists that work on the patreon/subscription model? Would consider donation them rather than NYT or WSJ.

There are plenty of scrappy little online micronewspapers now, usually with an evident political slant, and some of them do real investigative journalism.
But there's no chance they'll get the direct access to the political system their mainstream cousins do.
It's also incredibly easy to astroturf fake news at that level, so not all of those sites are reliable.
The point about the MSM is that they're mass media with a huge subscriber/reader base. That's what gives them their leverage.
Journalism is much less influential without that.
There are many. But they're difficult to find and get into. My favorite is http://www.noagendashow.com/.
Plenty of non-profit MSM, including the BBC, The Guardian, AP, and so on.
Are they doing independent investigative journalism, though? I jumped around in the episode a bit and it just sounds like talk radio commentary/opinion that cites MSM sources.
Adam was on Rogan in March. I recommend watching that episode.
