Myth: If you consume the mainstream news and simply look at the top search results from a search engine, you are well informed.
Fact: If you don’t make an effort to find an independent perspective on important political topics, you may well be uninformed or misinformed.
Overview:
All of the information under the “Media” topic has shown that the mainstream media is not trustworthy when reporting on political issues. In addition, the MSM was shown to own all of the top positions in search engine search results. Therefore, where can a person go to find news sites with independent perspectives?
To read a variety of indepenent news sources, it is easiest to use an aggregator site. This is a site the curates news across the internet. This is much simpler and more effective than relying on a single website. Here are some of the better ones.
Revolver News (3) – In addition to aggregating new, also provides its own content.
The Liberty Daily – This is the only site with its own phone app. It is a very good app, and is actually preferable to the website. Interestingly, the phone app has a search utility, but the website does not.
Discern Report (3) – By the same organization as the Liberty Daily. This has an excellent search utility.
Citizens Free Press – Barebones website with over 500 headlines lined up.
If you would rather go to individual news websites, the following are popular options.
The Epoch Times (1) – They actually have a newspaper subscription along with full access to their online resources. You can set up a free account online, but there is a restriction to the number of articles you can read. If you are willing to pay for a subscription, this is one of the best overall resources.
Just The News (3) – This site contains very factual news, with little or no editorializing. If you sign up for their email alerts you can stay constantly up to date on the latest breaking news.
American Thinker – “A daily internet publication devoted to the thoughtful exploration of issues of importance to Americans. Contributors are accomplished in fields beyond journalism and animated to write for the general public out of concern for the complex and morally significant questions on the national agenda.”
One America News (OAN) – A major competitor to FOX News.
NEWSMAX – A major competitor to FOX News.
Fox News (3) – This used to be the go-to conservative news site, but has fallen out of favor for a number of reasons. However, they still provide some good content online.
The Federalist (3)
Breitbart News (3)
Townhall (2)
Zerohedge (2)(3)
Western Journal (3)
PJ Media (2)
