dabuckle Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Most of us now know NOT to believe everything the mainstream media says but how many of us actually use a alternative free press media source to find out the truth about the world's events and news?

sharrowman Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 I suspect most of us know not to be too trusting of any media source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabuckle Posted May 24, 2011 Author Share Posted May 24, 2011 The lack of media coverage the British Media has had on the Gaza Strip is next to nothing, where the whole area is constantly under attack by Israeli soldiers they have been kept from forming a government and have been force to erect a huge concrete wall around the city to keep them selves in NO ESCAPE, It's like one big prison camp. And all the British government can do is pat Israel on the back. http://palestinechronicle.com/view_article_details.php?id=16795 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharrowman Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Well yes. Coverage of world events is filtered of course. Sometimes for commercial reasons, sometimes for political ones. Reading a broad range of media from around the world helps to get a broader picture of events globally. I wonder what you consider to be an alternative free press media source? Surely not infowars?

No sarrowman, I trust infowars as much as I would the BBC, I use it too see the story in a nut shell, then I do a follow up report of many sources.

Fishcake Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 I never trust any one media source. I like to look at the stories on a few sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabuckle Posted May 24, 2011 Author Share Posted May 24, 2011 The others haven't been pulled; why would this one? And Roots is loosing the 'sick of conspiracy threads' poll so why should they be closed??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you so for a living that gives you time to follow up on these other sources ? Why would you want to ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
