An
Internet End-Run on the Media Monopoly
Turn off your
TV! We're talking news for the survival of democracy, not infotainment,
the currently most popular opiate of the masses.
The best place
to get the news (and easiest and cheapest...assuming your internet connection
is alive and well) is the Internet. You can get online editions (usually
free) of most of the world's major newspapers, and you can find the
full range of opinion on issues that are not even hinted at in the mainstream
media.
The best place
to find out what the Internet has to offer is the Internet itself. Progressive
Review, Information
Clearing House, and Cursor.org
are excellent progressive news commentary sites, but besides their own
selection of articles each has a massive list of other
news sources. You will never want to watch T.V. news again!
Selected here are
just a few of the sources listed at those sites.
