Stephanie G's List

 * I have a couple of go to media sources but not one omnipotent source, not with so many available to our fingertips. What I try to do when something happens is to search the web for different sources of the same current event and infer. I will use MSM for discovery and fringe for events. You will start to realize the slants. They'll actually become irritating. BBC is good, but really go all over the place. I visit TYT, RT, AP, Glen Greenwald, Coleen Rowley (for foreign policy), documentarians and activists who are online or on frontlines like Josh Fox, David Braun. The trick is to not use one search engine alone and to stick to facts, not slants. My list may be different than yours. Find those who are authorities on subject matter and when that subject comes up then go see what their saying.
