Mainstream media, left wing media, corporate media, big media – different names for the same elitist press that regards itself as the fourth estate but serves as a fifth column. CBS, NBC, ABC, CNBC, CNN, NPR, PBS, New York Times, LA Times, Chicago Times – the list goes on.

Corporate media no longer practices journalism as once known. The giants clearly align with the liberal establishment regardless of politician, candidate, or cause. It no longer “speaks truth to power.” It became an unchecked power in itself.

Corporate media today serves to defend the Ruling Class and the administrative state. Big media regards itself as part of the state, the unelected fourth branch of government. No longer are they suspicious, curious, doubtful, or distrustful of government. They see themselves covering the flanks of the Ruling Class and protecting the powerful.

Most major “journalists” have a “disposition” problem. They think of themselves as nonpartisan watchdogs when in fact they are just the opposite. They are leftist operatives posing as journalists.

Calling all rebels! Reject corporate media. Reduce their patronage. Demolish their ratings. Slash their advertising revenue. Boycott them. Discard the premise of their policies. Find alternative sites.

Alternatives! Aha! Alternatives! “Alternative” suggests competition. Competition corrects, culls, and purifies. The last thing corporate media wants is competition. Competition – a beautiful thing. New social media sites are surging. No censoring within limits of the law. Here are examples of web pages and streaming sites.

And, by the way, be aware of pejorative terms used by Wikipedia to describe these sites. Anything conservative raises the ire of leftists. Invariably any site right-of-center incurs the brand of “racist,” “white supremacist,” and “extremist” manufacturing “conspiracy theories.” Don’t fall for the lies. You are better than that.

            MeWe, a private social media networking platform substitutes for Facebook.

            Parler replaces Twitter. Used by Ted Cruz, Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson, Ron Paul, and more.

            Rumble replaces YouTube as a video hosting site featuring Dan Bongino, Dinesh D’Souza, John Solomon, Devin Nunes, and Diamond and Silk.

            DuckDuckGo and Startpage.com replace Google as search engines with more privacy and no tracking.

            Newsmax as a conservative news outlet replaces liberal news media outlets.

            LibertyNation lists the top conservative, libertarian, and populist news sites

            LifeSiteNews: A great source for pro-life news.

            WesternJornal: A range of conservative issues told with extensive depth.

            BearingArms: Gun culture including firearms education, exposing attacks on second amendment rights, and ensuring stories of guns saving lives see daylight.

            WSJ: The Wall Street Journal reports the best of establishment thinking on US and international news staying firmly rooted in capitalist, conservative thinking.

            RealClearPolitics: A comparative site offering some of the best from left and right.

            PJMedia: An entertaining site covering both culture and politics.

            Townhall: Hosting notable conservative writers; a must for news junkies.

            TheFederalist: Intelligent writing from the conservative realm on religion, culture, and politics. Dissects left-leaning news stories.

            JudicialWatch.org: Unparalleled investigation and reporting on government corruption.

            MRC.org: The Media Research Center does the best job of exposing leftist media bias. Founded by L. Brent Bozell, nephew of William F. Buckley, Jr.

            AmericanThinker is at the very top of the pile. It has been billed as the MENSA of conservative websites and touts substance over style.

            American Greatness: Bills itself as the next generation of American conservatism.

            Patriot Post: An advocate for individual rights.

            Washington Examiner: Weekly on-line conservative news magazine.

            Daily Caller: Conservative news site co-founded by Tucker Carlson.

            One of the fastest up and coming streaming and cable TV news outlets is the One America News Network, OANN. They compete with FOX News as FOX leans left to appease the establishment. Greg Gutfeld, Tucker Carlson, and Jesse Waters have a home with OANN and Newsmax if FOX boots them.

            Hillsdale College and The Heritage foundation offer excellent resource material.

            The list would not be complete without mention of the three-hour weekday Rush Limbaugh show.

            Finally, Drop the squishy Drudge Report. Use the newest news aggregator website Whatfinger.com.

            Increasing viewership on these sites will prompt advertisers to spend more money on them.

Reality check. The mainstream media became its own antithesis. A new alternative media, with the help of technology, emerged to replace it as a synthesis of its old self.
