Faux News, CNN, MSNBC, and other fourth branch government “news” sites we call “mainstream media” have reached an all time low. News isn’t reported, news isn’t even what these organizations do. They teach you what to be afraid of. They tell you who to blame for your life. They keep hope in the dark to promote celebrity altercations. They avoid stories and people fighting for truth and liberty and push their political/economic fallacy agenda. I can’t stand even landing on one of these sites or channels.
Worry not though, there is some hope but it won’t be easy if you don’t know where to look. There are websites that feature content that helps you rip away the blindfold you have been trained to accept. There are people out there reporting what is going on in the world and not what you should think about something sort of going on in the world. The following are some of the sites I read and watch daily. Don’t listen to me — experience it for yourself! Find your own truth.
The wonderful LewRockwell.com and LewRockwell.com/blog — some of the world’s best economic, political, and health minds reporting everything government doesn’t want you to know.
Mises.org is the definitive home of economic commentary and news. The celebrated list of scholars and professors who post there is beyond anything one could image. A “who’s who” of the most brilliant minds in philosophy, economics, and history. This *is* more than news. It is an education!
Al-Jazeera English. Watch live all day, everyday thanks to a constant live YouTube stream. Al-Jazeera reports on the world’s breaking news and insists on journalistic excellence in a class all it’s own.
Russia Today – RT asks the real questions journalists should ask. They feature commentary from people who know things without the agenda. A regular stop for the great G. Celente. They offer a free live news stream all day.
Antiwar.com, all I need to say is this… the news you aren’t supposed to know and the news you will never hear about on mainstream media stations.
Economic Policy Journal – You don’t get more “inside” than Robert Wenzel. Love economics and the developing world around you? Want to know what’s really going on? Look no further.
The above sites represent 90% of my news intake daily. I read nearly every article and post from Lew Rockwell and EPJ. I watch Al-Jazeera in the morning before work and RT at night while I’m in bed with my iPad. If you know me and ever wondered where I get my news… well… now you know!
Want to expand your horizon and see the world from a new angle, tune in. Kill your TV. Find truth in the age of lies.
