I have been wanting to do this for quite a while. In the last year, I have become more and more frustrated with the bias in our mainstream media, [and frankly, too much drivel] and I wanted to find alternative voices. I have asked friends and colleagues to contribute ideas and websites. I have purposely not added any write ups to each website as I want people to investigate them in their own time. Some have questioned Al Jazeera being on the list – due to Qatar’s financial involvement [although I do think they produce fairly balanced articles.] And some have questioned RT [Russia Today] due to their bias. However they do have an American and UK page I have discovered.
Not every website will be to people’s pleasing, I am aware of this. I wanted to give a varied list, that is all.
And please, if you think I have left any off the list, let me know. But they must be independent. They are in no particular order. There is no preference.
