Here's a question for all of you. What media (internet, paper, television, radio, otherwise) do you rely on for informing you with the *truth* of what is going on in the world?

Since media seems mostly bought by the establishment elites and big money, what sources have you found that focus on truth, facts, and real analysis?

I'd like to make a list with input from all of you and bookmark/favorites this page for future reference. Maybe the site owners here would be willing to link it on one of the sidebars or something (assuming people participate)?

I'll add to the list below as people respond, but take a look at my initial list to get a sense of the information I'm looking for and the format I'd like to use. Topics can be anything, really. Please let me know if anything should be modified.

List of Useful Media

The list of media sites below has been found by users of this site to be truthful, fact based, and not an instrument of establishment propaganda.

Alternet

http://www.alternet.org/
(suggested by GreyWolf)
Award-winning news magazine and online community that creates original journalism and amplifies the best of hundreds of other independent media sources. AlterNet’s aim is to inspire action and advocacy on the environment, human rights and civil liberties, social justice, media, health care issues, and more.

Antiwar.com

http://www.antiwar.com/
(suggested by Nastarana)
Site on military events devoted to non-intervention and opposing imperialism. Justin Raimundo has a remarkable ability to ferret out significant details about American foreign policy follies; you don't have to agree with his radical libertarianism to appreciate his reporting.

Asia Times

http://www.atimes.com/
(suggested by Nastarana)
Good coverage of the Asian supercontinent. The new owners still employ the notorious David Goodman/Spengler--him of the infamous "More killing, please"--whose columns are occasionally interesting as descriptions of what the hegemony is planning to do to us next. AT also continues to employ Pepe Escobar and Chan Akya. By the way, Chanakya was the great strategist who advised the conqueror Chandragupta, and the reporter who assumed the famous moniker is from India. Escobar is Brazillian, I believe, and both these men are some of the best travelling reporters around.
