News Sources

It used to be well-accepted that to gain good understanding of a subject -- any subject -- you need to consult multiple sources.  Even moreso in political matters where point-of-view is so important.  Yet, all of our news comes from pretty much one source.  The corporate media, which is pretty much a mouthpiece of the corporate elite.

We the people need alternate sources of news and commentary.  I've already linked AlterNet.org and believe it to be an important source for us.  Now I have found another source I will be consulting regularly:  IPS.

Check it out.  It gives an avowed Southern Hemisphere perspective on international news.  It is supported by a number of governments and international organizations, with the notable exception of the United States.
