Alternatives to Mainstream Media

How do you know so much Rémy? I read. I listen more than I speak and I think.

If it wasn't apparent to you before October 7th, it should be now that mainstream media has an agenda that serves the state that it works within. Specifically those agendas support capitalism, imperialism, and systemic oppression. With that you don't actually receive news. You are force fed certain narratives and stories to keep you ignorant, afraid, and uncritically supportive of people in power.

It would behoove you to diversify where you get your current events information from.

Just leaving a range resources for you. Take information in. Reflect. Question. Apply. Repeat. Alright? Alright.

Do Re-visit this post. I will be adding to it and annotating it. These span farther than the United States. All struggles are connected.

With zero experience editing audio or managing a website I launched Best of the Left in January 2006 at the age of 23. One of the things I am most proud of my 23-year-old self for recognizing was that I shouldn't try to be the star of the show or have my opinions front and center. I was good enough at curation but it took years to get to the point where I felt like my knowledge and insights into politics were worthy of an audience.

Jay basically curates great commentary and information about various cultural and political issues. Amazing jumping point

Definitely a tool of mainstream media. Super liberal. Super focused on electoral politics. However, important to keep an eye on this perspective.

Mainstream media reporting that doesn't make me want to tear my eyes out...just barely.
