Where To Get Some Real News -- While We Still Can

This was an informative webinar my husband and I watched yesterday. Chengpang Lee, assistant professor at Hong Kong Polytechnic Uni and Dic Lo, Reader in Economics at SOAS Uni of London, shared information that was new to us. Link to recording is eagerly awaited and will be shared.


Seven years ago I published a list of sources I considered useful for gathering real news as opposed to repackaged Pentagon or State Department talking points posing as news.

The list is much shorter today. Venerables like Democracy Now! have succumbed to the lure of big money and as a result are cheerleading for proxy war in Ukraine. How the mighty have fallen.



With a particular focus on the ginning up of war against China, here's my current list. The link will take you to an article or episode related to the U.S. pivot to Asia, but the whole publication is worthy of attention. In no particular order:

Covert Action Magazine (text)

CaitlinJohnstone.com (text or audio)

Pearls and Irritations (text)

Reports on China (short videos)

Consortium News (text)

Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting/FAIR (text)

Ground Zero Center for Nonviolent Action (text)

Organizing Notes (text or videos)

Hankyoreh (text)

Global Network Against Weapons & Nuclear Power in Space (videos)

Sydney Criminal Lawyers blog (text)

MintPress News (text and videos)

The Most Censored News/Behind the Headlines with Lee Camp (videos)

 No More Battle of Okinawa: Nuchi du Takara (Life is a Treasure) People’s Association


My list is heavy on text (which I prefer) and light on videos and podcasts (which many people prefer these days). Please use comments to suggest other reliable sources I've missed!

EDITED Feb 12 to include more sources:

The Cradle (text)

Global Research (text)

BreakThrough News (videos)
