Anyone with half a brain knows you can’t trust the mainstream for reporting anything except the outcomes of major sporting events, and that’s most likely because there are usually upward of 50,000 eye-witnesses on the scene at any given time. Luckily, the Internet seems full of enough “alternative media” to keep all our heads fat and happy. Not so fortunate is that quite often these sources feature poorly researched and ethically questionable “news reports” with production values worse than the shoe-box diorama I made in kindergarten.
Which is why one of news and opinion sites I do recommend is The Reality News Network. Featuring a good chunk of high quality video reporting as well as interviews with real experts and other people you’ve actually heard of, RNN is worth a visit or two.
