Don’t feel lonely: lots of people think that the mass media have problems in providing reliable and trustworthy information, and lots of people are shifting to independent media as a way to approach world affairs, the campaign progress, and news on the war, not to mention read truly in-depth reports on really interesting topics; if you just turned the TV off and are looking for something informative to read, IrregularTimes.com is a good place to start your search.
Note that the news posts include opinion and a generous share of sarcasm, but mostly intelligent insights, plus they cite sources, paste videos, sell funny and serious lapel buttons and fridge magnets, provide links to sign petitions and other ways to develop and expose an opinion boldly. The site allows RSS subscriptions to some of their several tags; happily, this site seems to have a very participative community of readers, whose comments are generally very enlightening, and provide links to a variety of similar and different sites which might be of interest for IrregularTimes.com’s readers to go on reading.
