News Sources for Progressives

This started out as a list with donations of site names and comments about those sites, so we want to keep that going! Add it to our list! ...This is a on-going effort - powered by volunteers just like you. As the assault on Alternative Media has heated up in the closing months of 2016 and early 2017, we've added some additional materials about this assault and including a list of sites that are literally under attack, plus two very short "articles" telling you about that attack.

On this page:

• Short mini-article about Main Stream Media and the assault on "Alternative Media." The dog-whistle is "fake news."
• Longer Article about, and List of 200 alternative media sites that have been singled out as targets for the new assault on Alternative Media. Many of the sites targeted for attack are well known to and trusted by Progressives. This article includes a link to a great video that helps explain the risk to our democracy today.
• Additional list of other news web sites that are worthy of attention, not because they can all be believed but because many of them are more traditional sites and it's good to know what the ultra-rich are pushing so we Progressives can counter it.

THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS
Please help us improve it!

Email us your additions, links to attach, etc. Please ALSO email us your Progressive Take on these sites! Note that the comments found here about these various sites were submitted by you, our readership!

2016 Proved "Fake News"

Comes From Main Stream Media

Today We Must Use Alternative Media To Be Informed

Beware the new Minstry of Truth Obama signed into law on December 23, 2016

Unfortunately, the propaganda foisted on us by the Main Stream Media - the primary source of fake news in our society - has become all too obvious in recent years, and especially during the 2016 campaign cycle. Unfortunately, it has gotten worse since the election because at this moment in time, there is a new assault on real news sources - the so-called "Alternative Media", starting in December, 2016. Its the "Alternative Media" that is actually doing real journalism that's been abandoned by the Main Stream sources, and most of us, Progressives and others alike, have come to depend on Alternative Media to know what's really going on in the world.

The newest assault on Alternatiave Media has been created by Hillary and her Military Industrial (Legislative) Complex friends in the form of blaming Russia for her loss in the election and the brand new, December 23, 2016 - 2018, creation of the new Ministry of Truth as a part of the Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2017.

Fall, 2016:
The Main Stream Media is FAILING

THEY ARE ATTACKING ALL ALTERNATIVE MEDIA!

Watch a great video spelling it out for you here.

In addition to that video, here's the list that The Powers That Be are trying to attack. These are some of the greatest sources for information available on the internet today! Our ORIGINAL list is below this new list and it's rather mundane, and we were working on compiling a new list from our Daily New Summary and comment thread, but it looks like The Powers That Be are helping us all along with our list. Here's THEIR lits! And here is where they got it from. There's so much crossover from where we get our data that we're just republishing their list here; this is where they don't want us to go to find news because it's largely telling us the truth.

Here's our original list we had been working on updating
