Alternative News & Views
Representing the best in Independant Journalism
In todays world of Corporate Controlled News media we need Independant Journalism more than ever. The free press is certainly not free and those with the payola get the press they want.With hundreds of cable channels and tens of dozens of topic specific stations, honest reporting is still rarely found in private journalism. Investigative reporting and dissident voices are barely heard even on public programming and community radio and television which peaked in the 90s and are now practically gone.
Corporations spend a lot of money to controll and surpress free speech on TV, radio, news papers and magazines. The only alternatives are the non-profit, reader supported news/views publications. Below is a list of these alternative voices.

Independant journalism presents unsensored, commerical free, news, views, documentaries, commentary you've never seen "anywhere." World Link News, documentaries, movies, music commentaries from around the world. If you haven't checked this out you don't know what you are missing |
Don't expect to hear uncensored, unbiased news coverage from syndicated corporate owned radio,
newspaper, magazine and TV stations that are in embedded with the military. No tough questions were ever asked in the lead up to war. Reporters instead of asking tough questions, jumped in bed with the military and amplified the drum beat to war. The voices in the mainstream media who did dare question Bush's rush to war were quickly silenced by those in the White House, putting pressure on newspapers, TV and radio stations.
Any dissenting voices in the government, in the media and in entertainment field were labled unpatriotic and a supporter of terrorism, their jobs were terminated, many were even black listed. Democracy can not survive in an atmosphere of censorship. Especially if the media is self censored out of fear of the government. Without free speech and the freedom of the press there is no democracy
Fox News channel
Fox News channel is so slanted to the right, their viewer's whole perception of reality is warped.
The majority of Fox viewers still believe that Hussein was responsible for 9-11. 35% of these mis-informed viewers also believe that WMD's were found in Iraq.
Unfortunately some of the lazy reporters and right wing talk show hosts on CNN and MSNBC get their daily briefs and talking points from the echo chambers of Fox News channel.
As Wolf Blitzer recently admitted to Jon Stewart on Comedy Central's ' The Daily Show', in a conversation concerning the mainstream media being so easily deceived and led to war, " It's a result of group think."
Rupert Murdoch is so angry he's spitting bullets over the latest lawsuit being brought against Fox News channel
for their outlandish claims about being fair and balanced. Spreading right wing propaganda and being a 24/7 advertisment for the Bush Administration is bad enough but lying about it by claiming to be fair and balanced is going too far. Their claim is definetly One Step Over the Line Sweet Jesus.
War Puts Radio Giant on the Defensive
Critics of Clear Channel Communications accuse the radio broadcaster
of drumming up support for the war on Iraq while muzzling musicians who
oppose it.
Clear Channel Communications owns and operates over 1200 right wing
radio broadcast stations across the US.
Clear Channel radio as well as Fox News, Disney, Charter Cable, Direct
TV, CNN and a whole host of other media outlets are all owned and
controlled by right wing, neo-con Rupert Murdoch. War
profiteering isn't exactly a brand new concept.
Air-America Radio
now has 30 radio stations nationwide with more being added each
week. Featuring famous talk show hosts Al Franken, Randi
Rhodes, Laura Flanders, Mike Malloy, Kyle Jasonand more. Keep up to date about what is really going on in the world around you instead of the having to rely on sound bites, right wing spin and corporate controlled tabloid news.
Are you tired of listening to corporate sponsored Right Wing radio talk show hosts regurgitating the same old propaganda designed to dumb you down and keep you in the dark. There are now great alternatives that's
driving the Right Wing nuts.
