Bulldrek v3.0

Hello all,

Lately a couple of my close friends have been constantly flooding me with seriously stupid "facts", from stupid conspiracy websites. They refuse to read actual news agency's material, they think ABC, Reuters, BBC, and the like are nothing but fronts for "propaganda for the CIA", so I am asking anybody who knows of a legitimate newspaper or news agency that is not main stream to please post a link here, please.

The newspapers I respect and have tried to show these two friends are like:

The International Herald Tribune
Associated Press
Washington Post
New York Times

I guess these were a bit too "main stream" for them to even consider. Yeah, I know it isn't up to me to convince them of anything, but it's bothering me a bit when all I get from them is "American's conspiracy..."

Thanks

In case they can read German, I'd recommend the Süddeutsche Zeitung, which I read on a daily basis.[/url]

If they think Matt Drudge is a mouthpeice for the CIA, they don't need convincing, they need euthanizing. 'Course, most of his stories won't work for them, since he most often links to more mainstream sources (Washington Post, yahoo, etc. . . ). But for you, on the left side of the page, toward the bottom, is a long list of links to news sources.

I'd also recommend http://www.abc.net.au/news/ - the news agency of the ABC, Australia's public broadcaster. Not independent like Matt Drudge, perhaps, but still a nice change from the commercial news agencies.
