You’re probably all aware that much of the "alt-media" is actually owned by the mainstream, and used to reveal a bit of information, but misdirect people from more important information. Determining who is owned and who is independent is often difficult. 

If we set those aside and deal with any alt-media who start out wanting to be honest, there’s still going to be problems, as far as I can see. Once someone has a sizeable following, the Powers That Be are going to become aware of them. They’re going to want to either buy or stifle them, as uncontrolled media is dangerous to them.

Let’s assume again that an alt-media person gains a good following and refuses to be bought. Obviously the PTB have a variety of tools to mess with them, such as smearing them in the MSM. But if they’re becoming a serious problem and it’s considered likely they may reveal highly secret information,  I would imagine that more direct action would be taken, such as threatening them if they don’t keep a lid on it.

I’d be interested in everyone's opinion on this. It seems unlikely to me that any big alt-media is going to get away with saying whatever they like. So what can they do once they are threatened, assuming I’m correct in that assumption? It seems to me they have two options. They carry on regardless, and could then be subject to action being taken up to and including them having an "accident"; or else they agree not to reveal certain things, to be able to safely get the truth out about some things, at least.

It’s easy for someone to say that they’d ignore such threats. But anyone familiar with the PTB knows you would be risking it all. My very rough conclusion is therefor that any sizeable alt-media is likely to be under orders, even if they aren’t actually owned. I don’t know how else things could be.

Does anyone have ideas about any alt-media who they think are uncensored entirely, and if so, how are they managing it?

Many thanks for reading!

Hi Rob,

Yes, trusting news sources can be really quite tricky. I’m amazed / staggered at how many people are hopelessly brainwashed by the MSM. 

A good idea is to look at multiple sources in order to achieve a balanced view on any given subject. Here’s a list of reliable sources where there is less chance that they follow a particular narrative or agenda -
