In recent years, six corporations have seized 90 percent of mainstream newspapers and television. As a result, biases become more common and more supportive of the Washington Beltway positions.

Here’s my present list of alternate sources. Many offer free subscriptions to daily email updating. Find some you like and then speed reading by putting them in an RSS aggregator (such as Leaf or Vienna). Many of them will remain archived on YouTube after leaving original site.
