Wow, $85.4 billion! The money is from a very small group of elite people, who want to determine what it is that the rest of us read. I don't feel comfortable with that. That's why I read widely. The mainstream media doesn't always lie, but it has lied many times in the past and it will continue to mislead us in the future--especially if we do not have independent news sources to keep the main stream media in check.
In Closing" It is up to all of us to protect and promote independent news
We should denounce the "prop or not" black lists and the legislation enacted to shut down our First Amendment Rights. We need to think for ourselves and not just go along to get along. And what about the media we disagree with? What about people writing really vile things? We need to speak out more and not be afraid to challenge ideas.
For example, I am very opposed to the demonization of Muslims in the U.S.,
which some independent media on the right promotes. But I'm also
prepared to talk about it and march about it and write about it and meet
with people who hold these views and help elect people who share my views by respecting the rights of all religons.
But I'm not going to say that those Americans can't have those views
because if I do that, pretty soon, someone could get into power to shut
down my views. We are meant to be participants in a democracy and not just sit on the sidelines.
Our nature as Americans is to be free. People from around the world come to the U.S. to be free. I love the U.S. and I don't want to lose my freedom. What we need to do is to become more of an informed and active populace, now more than ever.
The government is now trying to silence, not only its overseas enemies, but all of us who speak the truth as we see it. For example, if we question reports of Russia's interference in our elections or President Elect Trump's relationship with Putin, we could be labeled "Russian agents" or "Russian sympathizers". Maybe the powers-that-be hope that their demonization of Russia has so scared our fellow Americans that they will turn their backs on our voice and demonize us. Well, I hope I can count on you not to. If we all stick together, we can protect the right of free speech for everyone. If you would like to learn more about independent news and how it is different from the main stream media, here is a list of independent news sites I read nearly every day: Elizabeth Hanson, Turning Point News.
If you agree that we need to stop the attack on our first amendment right of free speech, please share this article on social media.
