(4,906 posts)4. Russia Today which is a mind boggling reality..best source of news available
Al Jazeera used to fit this bill and I still watch because they have incredible documentaries.
Unfortunately, our msm is full of crap. I dont watch them and even find myself avoiding posters who continuously mention msm so called journalists and pundits...like what Joe Scarborough said this am, or what hannity thinks, etc. The truth is out there..easy to find actually if one has an interest.

Apparently Republicans and George W. Bush did not have such good educations. Watch Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 911 and you'll understand. TRY DEMOCRATS INSTEAD.
