Resources
In a world of misinformation and lies, it is important to know the best media to follow so that we do not fall into the traps laid down by the ruling class. Both liberal and conservative networks partake in propaganda, deceit, and the manufacturing of our consent to stoke fear, hatred, and national anxiety. During the Iraq and Afghanistan War, major media companies were able to convince Americans that bombing children in the Middle East was justified if it meant we could end terrorism. We cannot allow “yellow journalism” to taint our society or poison our minds. We have curated this page to give visibility to trusted organizations, news networks, and journalists.
