Intro
I've been following Steve Quayle @ http://www.stevequayle.com/ for some time, but on his website, he maintains curations of alternative news updates called ALERTS which I found to be quite useful.
You can scan through them and he just has a title and short description
Lots of his articles are from places you might not have heard of like SkywatchTV and ZeroHedge.
Conspiracies
Contains a lot of conspiracy alerts which you have to take tentatively.
Conclusion
You can check this site every 4 or so days and have a nice update on world events not covered much on the mainstream news.
