The “news” we see on TV is not real journalism anymore. Today, the corporate-owned media airs manufactures programs to persuade the audience. In other words, they pump propaganda at us. The facts are often distorted and important information is omitted.
Because of this, independent news is on the rise. Many trained journalists who want to report REAL news have left the corrupt corporate media and launched their own online shows. Other popular news shows are being produced by passionate, dedicated individuals who are in fact not “professional” journalists.
Sources listed below have earned our respect and trust.
