    I am in the process of updating my news feed and I was wondering what was your favorite alternative news source.

    By alternative, I mean news sites like Truthout and Alternet.

    Most of the bigger alternative media outlets are funded by foundations and therefore are not trustworthy.

    The only alternative media I like are some independent blogs, as well as some of the channels people have on YouTube. These are the only places online that I see real questions being asked, None of these big-name "alternative" media sites ares exposing the truth, and if they are exposing even a modicum of the truth, it's presented in such a way that removes any credibility it might have, often resorting to rampant sensationalism and excessive fear-mongering. People like Alex Jones immediately spring to mind. Alex Jones is nothing more than a provocateur.

    I actually might have found a news source compatible with all my missing needs as far as being a skilled actor, published writer and decorated artist goes. When it comes to that social climax of hearing a feed strong enough to re-align the majority of daily miscues and social upheaval. I would have to bargain for this new news Source of theatrical / film/ movie enlightenment, which modernizes the difference between poor CGI and CGI expectancies Poor C-competition G-governing I-instructional Insight. Especially,todays craftsmanship within the outsourcing of the industry's movie going population and it's support for the artists and their framework, but then again supporting the art could be claim a destruction against the industry and its standards to support the idea , rather adaptation of a good time.

    Democracy Now! Is generally pretty good. They cover a lot of different types of things - climate, American imperialism, indigenous protests around the world, war crimes, etc.

    You might find this strange, but I rely on The Economist for general international news. To me it seems that their only bias is money (of course), and that being an obvious bias, it's fairly easy to mentally filter article content based on such.

    I watch The Young Turks on YouTube. Otherwise BBC world news. I refuse to trust American media. Fox news is probably the worst source for news of them all.

    The Economist has surprised me quite a few times in the past with fairly balanced articles.

    I like Alex Jones mostly for entertainment purposes. I don't consider a lot of what he says as trustworthy information, but it sure is fun watching and listening to him get upset! Dahboo7 on Youtube posts some interesting vids, but it's along the same lines of Alex Jones. Lots of conspiracy and untrustworthy information. He seems to rely on Facebook posts to get some information. Just a means to get people riled up, inciting fear blah blah blah.

    BBC is good.

    Not sure if this counts, but I read the cbc website (Canadian broadcasting Corporation) every day.

    I suppose since it's alternative I'll go with buzzfeed. I'm never there to find the news, but sometimes I'll stumble upon what's being talked about. And I like how they update their event news. Like when the ebola break happened, you could read the same article, and at the top they have a section that's constantly updated called "here's what we know so far"
