If we can all agree that main stream media is owned, operated and influenced by major corporations, where do we find reliable pertinent news? I heard Ralph Nader speak about how our media is corrupted but he gave no answers on where to go to get the news that truly matters. Where do you find news that is worthy? The best option I have found is to watch /read news from Europe and other countries outside the US (BBC international and such). Any other websites or news shows I should check out?

If you have Direct TV you may like the LINK channel. They have a news program titled Democracy Now that does more ingenous reporting. It also does a lot of documentaries of the human dillema across the globe, Good stuff, check it out.

I don't have Direct TV but thanks for the info. I wouldn't categorize myself as Dem or Rep, I am very much an independent, I always try to vote for the one who has the people of the US' best interest in mind. I would also like to know if anyone knows of a website that discloses the boards that the cadidates sit on and any other info pertaining to corporations and the candidates.

i think the truth is all there you just have to see it. i watch the story more then i listen to the newscaster. then i try to find articles relating. then all i can do is base an "opinion".

i agree with that, my biggest problem is that most news stations don't give us the news that really matters. the difference between US news and European news is staggering.

i'm afraid to look that deep into it.

Wow, I do not rely on ANY broadcast news for information.
The BBC has demonstrated a decidedly leftward tilt.
I like to read the NYT and the WSJ (hard copy) as well as the numerous links(most major newspapers) available on the Drudgereport.....the truth is out there!

Broadcast news is sorta like Cliff notes......condensed beyond recognition!!!

yeah, if you want the real truth you have to work for it. i use CNN.com, FOX.com and counter them with Prison Planet, Infowars and other sites the retail media considers "fringe". i also check out Ludwig von Misses when i have time for good, in depth commentary on current money matters. i read Inc, Entrepreneur, some Newsweek and keep a steady stream of other random magazines handy. i don't read any newspaper except the local one. i also check out my state Senate and House websites when they are in session.

i have stopped watching TV news channels altogether... it's just not real and those people that read the scripts are really stupid so it's a bad deal. i wouldn't even have to pay for them if my cable company was honest.
