Independent media is the way to go kinfolk. You have to have a thirst for truth. The mainstream media with their sensationalism are not on our side.

Like I said in my last comment, I was discussing with Hubby about dead-on you've been about a lot of this stuff for the time that I've been following your blog... I might not necessarily agree with *everything* every time, but more often than not you've been on-it.

You totally deserve to toot your own horn. Huge thumbs up from me.

I agree with Rippa on the independent media thing. Mainstream news is extremely sensationalized and biased.

Mainstream news likes to keep its audience busy with mostly gossip. That why the 'net is so important.

Except for traffic and the weather, I don't trust the local news.

Main-stream is developing into minor trickles of nuclear waste.
