Depends on how deep and hardcore ya wanna go. I am a right winger so I naturally get my news from right wing sites and "alternative" media. I try to read far left wing sites every now and then for perspective as well, but they've gotten so hysterical and odious post-election that it takes serious mental effort to do so (SO many logical fallacies and BS man, it hurts my brain). Basic bitch tier starts with sites like lewrockwell.com (blog and political theater section, not article section though I do read a few every now and then), unz.com, Drudge Report, and Zerohedge (comment section on the articles there tends towards far right territory so only scroll down there if you're comfortable with (((echoes))) and the like).Originally Posted by Adam Strange
There's a ton of political content on youtube as well and I do watch some of it every day as things pop up that catch my interest. I usually check to see if people like Stefan Molyneux and Styxhexenhammer666 have new vids every afternoon. There are other people I like, but they aren't as prolific in their daily content generation so I only check them every now and again. I meander the web, news and facts come to me almost exactly when needed and/or desired. Never hurts to do the equivalent of a "wiki walk" regarding current events every so often.
I also lurk controversial twitter feeds and blogs. Alt-Right figures and sites like RAMZPAUL, Red Ice, and VDARE do bring up news the MSM will never bring up due to narrative conflicts. As I said, everyone is selling a narrative and nobody in the MSM will give a platform to any personality or mention information that threatens to contradict it. Hotep twitter is also good fun if only to observe the hardcore narrative conflict they'd generate if they ever got mainstream attention (which is why they'll never get any).
Of course, I'd never listen to anybody or any source without a decent base in political and philosophical history as well as an understanding of human nature and how propaganda works. Again, narratives, everyone's pushing their own and if you don't know things like history and critical thinking you *will* get bamboozled into being someone's willing ideological pawn. End of the day, all media is propaganda whether it is alternative or mainstream. Once you understand that you'll have a better grasp on reality. Trust, but verify *everything* you see and hear. The MSM never lets the facts get in the way of pushing their narrative, but at least the alternative/right wing media is up front with their agenda. The honesty is quite refreshing.
