The "Free" Press

As a result of having been glued to the major television news channels and newspaper reports, I've come to believe the public is being ILL SERVED as regards good news reporting and true investigative journalism. Therefore, I am adding to my links a number of Internet news sites that DO the investigative reporting Americans (and the world) need to know in order to make informed decisions about their own futures. These new links include the following:

http://www.consortiumnews.com
http://www.truthout.org/
http://www.indymedia.org/or/index.shtml
http://www.commondreams.org/
http://www.alternet.org/
http://www.fair.org/
http://www.takebackthemedia.com/
http://www.buzzflash.com/
http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/
http://therealnews.com/.

And this is just a small sample of great resources that can give you more than the pap the big news media feed us. There are also some great blogs and special interest sites. Don't allow BIG MEDIA to bury your head in the sand for you. Get information from many different alternative sources, check out resources that have views contrary to your own so that you can expose your mind to a greater world view. Prevent hardening of the categories! You may not change your mind about anything, but you will be making up your mind on the basis of a wider spectrum of opinion and information. In other words, alternative news can help you become a more rounded individual and a better citizen. Good luck. Let me know what you think of these links.
