I carefully pick and choose among articles in alternative media web sites, based upon my personal curiosity, my interests, my prior beliefs, what I see as an article’s slant, and my preferences. I do not endorse the entire output of any site, and that includes LRC. Every site has variance in article quality. I look at Anti-Media lately. It aggregates news from elsewhere and it has original articles.
Anti-Media has an article today that’s very helpful in showing the bias of the big-time press (Washington Post, CNN, etc). It quotes a slew of media reactions to Trump’s killing of the CIA program in Syria; one can see immediately how slanted these reactions are. You and I could have done this reading and reached the same conclusion, but only with a significant investment of time and effort. Anti-Media has done the work for us very nicely.
The Anti-Media team consists of a lot of young men and women. They’re doing a good job. Another article observes that while Trump’s move might signal the end of the regime change objective in Syria, U.S. designs on the country are being maintained by the Pentagon’s intrusions therein.
