When you hear me say that the mainstream media such as CNN, MSNBC, Fox, ABC, NBC, BBC, Washington Post, New York Times, BuzzFeed, Time Magazine, etc. is FAKE NEWS, maybe you think I'm full of shit? If you do, that's great, you have a 1st Amendment right to. But to me, the mainstream media is just pushing propaganda from the globalist and the banking elites that hate humanity and want to keep us dumb down with fluoride, GMOs, most vaccines and pharmaceutical drugs. If you're like my mom and get your news from Rachel Maddow, have at it, it's just not for me. For me, Youtube has been a great tool to get an update on worldly issues and a way to find like-minded people that like to think outside of the box. A clear minded person should be able to figure out what's real news and what's not real news, and if you're not sure about something just keep researching. Allow yourself to fall down the rabbit hole and see the Matrix for what it is. I am excited to see how Steemit grows into a platform for people to give and receive information.

Totally agree. Here are a couple of other good resources - Youtube - BPEarthWatch; Realist News; trunews; Keep posting the real news.
Agreed. Many of these people / shows I already watch. Another great one is Greg Hunter from USA Watchdog.
I like where your'e coming from and what you said "A clear minded person should be able to figure out what's real news and what's not real news". I'm going to go one level deeper. Humans are hard-wired to go with the crowd, unfortunate but true. Behaviourists and physiologists know this; almost all information is twisted and spun to achieve a desired outcome. Having a clear mind is to fully understand the motivation behind the message. Having a clear mind is to challenge your own belief system in a measured, objective, and unselfish manner. Thanks for your point of view :)
Even YouTube may be influenced by mainstream media as they have revised their ad revenue policies: http://kotaku.com/youtubes-latest-advertising-changes-have-people-worried-1793912694

Generally agree, but one still needs to take care even with these alternative sources of news and information. Many turn out over time to be "controlled opposition" who will put out a good deal or some truth, but then mix in some lies, enough to steer one off the path. It's always important to weigh multiple sources, and you will still need to weed out things by yourself. Another tactic employed by such "controlled opposition" is give you truth on a few topics, and then once one is confident in this source of information for a few topics, then they deceive by steering false information in other areas.
