Alternate News Sites

[NatiboyB]

What are some of the sites you use for alternative information in order to analyze the stories you see on the news? I always look for an opposite view. Do you have any spots you recommend?

I’m starting to finally get the point that if it’s a major media company it’s an agenda attached to it. Does anyone offer just pure information/data that allows you to make your own decisions?

How would you know the alternative is accurate?

just use a search engine to search for specific keywords to a story like a place, or name. similar articles appear in the results and you can make your choice from there. i sually read the same news story from different sources because some have more details or offer more context than other news outlets.

Ground News

Top Stories from around you and around the world. Compare how different news publishers frame the same news

ground.news

This site tells you if a story is right leaning, left leaning or center. It's not alternative news though, usually alternative news is just fake news.

All news media have agendas, it just depends on whether you agree with it or not, anyway use this to get you started:

Media Bias/Fact Check News

There a few of these out there with various bells and whistles, paid/sub etc, once again it's up to you though.

You won’t but it would just give you more information.

I’m more alternative left leaning so that is an issue

I’m more alternative left leaning so that is an issue

my advice is if something interests you, read as many articles as you can find

then research who owns which medium so you can decide if said company has a stake in bias

It's not alternative but Frontline usually put together good documentaries on subject matter.
