Sort:  

A better informed, less fearful and more rational world I'd like to imagine. Now to find some time to finish off the rest of the series. Hopefully I'll get a few more suggested additions to the list too.

Oh right, well let me assist:

https://consortiumnews.com/ (the recently deceased (RIP) Robert Parry's independent news outlet)

http://www.truth-out.org/

https://www.truthdig.com/ (Chris Hedges is featured quite a bit here, great indie journalist)

http://prn.fm/ (This is Gary Null's "progressive network". Probably shouldn't be confused with mainstream progressivism as the content here is honest enough to be politically agnostic much of the time. Lots of news shows and investigative journalist interviews here along with alternative health, etc...a good resource for non-mainstream thought)

http://therealnews.com/t2/

https://www.alternet.org/ (alternet sometimes feels like it is creeping to mainstream left, so I imbibe cautiously here)

Some excellent resources there. Chris Hedges now also hosts the "On Contact" show on RT. Well worth a look. One small issue with your suggestions though, no presence on Steemit. :D

Yes! I've watched hedges a number of times on "on contact" ...i think i learned abt Saul's book "Voltaire's Bastards" on his show (fascinating read btw).

Oh crap, did I completely miss the point of your post? I'm an airhead, sorry 'bout that :( my plan is to stop eating paint chips by tomorrow, won't happen again.

No problem. By the way, I did reserve a spot for you under the Literature, Art and Music section of the index.

You're awesome, thanks! Hugs for down under!...how I miss sydney :(
