The problem is that people (correctly) identify problems in mainstream media, then immediately imprint on a youtuber, talk radio host, or literal enemy propagandist who they decide has the actual truth.

Non mainstream are they guys who are accidentally being directly paid by Russia...

sorry for the late reply. This right here is non-mainstream. this site. I don't have any recommendations for, you know, other sources of information. I think it behooves us all to consider who underwrote the segments of news we're ingesting. By all means, listen to all the news you like. An easy question is "what stories am i not hearing because <advertiser> doesn't like that story?"
