They may not be dead, but they certainly cannot be trusted.

I don't have a problem with the mainstream media being dead. The alt-news media doesn't have any more integrity that the mainstream media. The audience doesn't have any more critical thinking ability. It's like a baby getting applesauce instead of peas. They're being spoon fed the stuff they want, without realizing it's just the same old mush.

Looks like I violated the law….according to CNN.

Exactly. There are good alt-media sources out there, but they usually aren't popular. Click bait is the new yellow journalism.

You know things are changing when a citizen journalist can get many times more views on their videos than the dying corporate on their top shows. Some of these people are truthful. Some are not. Over all it is a good thing that the info monopoly is being broken. I think the days of network news are numbered.

So far today in alt-media, I have learned that Obama plans to hasten the implementation of FEMA death camps, that Trump plans to send brown people to gulags, that the Earth is flat and that Nibiru is coming for the 7th year in a row.

And people here mock me for getting rid of TV and not watching the "news".

You forgot ,the earth is going to end soon, due to man made global warming. I see that hoax all the time.

The Earth has endured meteor strikes, mass extinctions, solar flares and other cataclysms for 4.5 billion years. The Earth will be fine no matter what we do.

The 50,000 year climate equilibrium by which all of human civilization is based upon on the other hand. That's a different topic.

"Save the Planet" sounds silly. A more accurate slogan would be "Save the climate equilibrium which we're accustomed to."
