What sources do I use?

Some people wonder which sites are the source of the information I try to pass on in my blog articles, so here’s a partial list, not in any special order.

The Guardian (UK), a more thoroughly independent newspaper than most, being owned not by a company or conglomerate with an agenda, but by a trust.

Zerohedge,com (US), heavily financially oriented site, whose contributors come from many countries around the world.  Much of what it writes is above my head, but the occasional crumb makes it through.

Russia Today (Russia), a lively view of the world through Russian eyes, although many of their articles cite alternative sources, always verifiable.

Jesse’s Café Americaine (US), another financial site which largely passes over my head, but has articles of a more general character.

Xinhua (China), general news site with a China bias so that its articles on other spheres of influence must be examined critically.

Asian Times (Asia), another asian (Chinese?) site with a more general round-up of world news, including some very telling articles by one Pepe Escobar.

The Intercept (Brazil?), new home of Glenn Greenwald, the man who arranged the release of the Snowden papers.  Greenwald was formerly a Guardian correspondent.

Basically, you just have to look around to find sites whose articles can be independently verified.  Once upon a time I followed Al Jazeera, but then I found the hot reporters were fleeing the ship, and research showed that this happened when Qatar’s UD took over control of the site and aligned it much more with the US UD.  If you have a favourite site I haven’t mentioned, by all means tell me about it.
