The Power of Alternative News Sources By Dan Harkey
The universe of available news and educational sources is changing for the better.
Alternative media has been part of U.S. cultural history since the 1960s. However, it was initially viewed as a fringe source and, therefore, inappropriate to rely on.
Over time, the public's perception of so-called fringe sources has shifted significantly. Once viewed as unreliable, these sources are more truthful than mainstream media. The relief from mainstream media's bundle of misinformation and garbage has been a revelation. The old tools such as propaganda, directing the narratives, gaslighting, relying on science (bought and paid for), and fact-checking were all slanted to an unreliable sideshow.
·????? Taking control of your information intake can give you profound empowerment. Seeking the truth from excellent alternative news sources like ZeroHedge.com, LewRockwell.com, armstrongeconomics.com,? citizenfreepress.com, breitbart.com, newsmax.com, victorhanson.com, tuckercarlson.com, and many others can be a powerful tool in navigating the complex world of information.
There are various podcasts, webinars, YouTube, and like X where the truth prevails. Another example is Substack. It is an online platform for writers, journalists, and other content creators to publish newsletters and monetize through paid subscribers.
