Need a little dose of truth in media? Try these links, but read the blurbs first. BTW, if you think all of these news organs are conservative or right-wing, then you are assuming too much--and we all know what happens when we "assume": "assume" makes an "A--" out of "U" and "ME"!

Also, be forewarned: most of these sites require a sense of humor--sometimes a rather bawdy one!

Counterpunch, at "http://www.counterpunch.org/" is leftist Alexander Cockburn's newsletter site. Leftist is putting it mildly--the guy is a Marxist, out and out, but he's one of those populist, idealist Marxists who actually believes that Marxism can be a force for good and populist change--he just believes that Marxism and the ultra-left has been taken over by the power elites, and that's why all those "communist" countries are so totalitarian (which shows, if nothing else, that Cockburn has never read between the lines of the 'Communist Manifesto'--for what else is this manifesto than a blueprint for totalitarian government? But, hey, everyone is entitled to be foolish sometimes). This should not prevent you from checking this site out for a well-written, leftist, view of the total corruption of the politically correct media and the administration for which it covers up the truth.

BTW, again: LM Magazine, a British Marxist organ that brought to the world the hoax of the ITN photo of the Serbian "Extermination Camps" filled with "starving" Kosovo Albanian refugees and KLA terrorists, will be back soon as a new publication called "Spiked". When I get the URL I will inform readers. LM was bankrupted by losing their court libel case which Brit Establishment organ ITN brought against them, even though the judge in the case admitted that the photo was a hoax!

The Onion, at "http://www.the-onion.com"/, is really neither left nor right wing--it is great (albeit vulgar at times) satire which, in this time of presidential campaigning, gores Gore and beats the Bush to shreds, all in good fun (and gets you to think!).

One conservative site that hasn't made Mark Pitcavage's Militia Watchdog hitlist yet (due, I reckon, to its obscurity) is "Fred On Everything" at "http://www.fredoneverything.com". Fred, you see, can't understand why most seem to be allowing the elites in government and the media to dictate to them how and what to think. Fred is politically incorrect almost to the max (without landing himself into the fringe looney bin and Christian Identity category!), folksy, witty, and, with his commentary, one can figure out what's truth in the news without actually getting the news.
