Alternative Media with a Progressive Perspective Alternative Sources of News and Information (Edited by David Chandler, July, 2021) This is in no way a comprehensive listing of alternative news and information sources, but it is a starter list compiled by myself with input from a few others, for those who have not ventured past the MSM (Main Stream Media, also known as “corporate media”). The ownership of newspapers, television, and radio stations has consolidated in recent years to just a few large corporate news conglomerates that represent the interests of their corporate owners. This consolidation severely limits the diversity of coverage and determines the framing of issues. Alternative sources on the Internet without corporate backing, open up social and political discussions to a much broader range of content and opinion. Many of these sources align well with progressive values. For instance, you are not often going to find MSM sources that oppose war, because war is extremely profitable to the military-industrial complex. Using the Internet as a source of news requires intelligence and discernment, because the Internet is wide open to all kinds of opinions and worldviews. The question is whether it is better to be exposed to a broad range of opinion and trust your own judgment, in the context of dialogue with people you know and whose values you share, or have your news restricted and filtered to serve a possibly hidden agenda determined by the corporate owners of media companies. Internet social media, including large corporate owned streaming services such as YouTube have been going through rapid evolution. YouTube, for instance, is owned by Google, which operates largely as a corporate monopoly. There is still a lot of valuable diversity, even on YouTube, but the information posted on YouTube has increasingly been subject to censorship, under the guise of violations of ill- defined “community guidelines.” YouTube “content creators” as they are called, have increasingly had to play cat and mouse with the censors, lest they become “demonitized” or “deplatformed,” and some have moved most or all of their content to alternative streaming services such as Bitchute.com, Rockfin.com, and Odysee.com. [Odysee is particularly interesting because it has been specifically designed to prevent top-down control.] You will find lots of crazy, obnoxious content on these kinds of services, but that is the price of freedom of speech. Amazingly, a fairly broad spectrum of news and opinion can still be found on YouTube, at least at this moment. Alternative News, Commentary, and Discussion on YouTube and other Streaming Sources On YouTube, the “channel” link takes you to the home page of the provider. Once on the channel page, you can get a more complete listing of available videos by clicking the “Videos” link in the header. Other streaming services have similar structures to explore.

I obtained a Master of Divinity degree with a specialization in counseling from Boston University after which I planned to get a PhD in psychology. However, my preaching professor got me thinking about returning to news as a reporter. He told our class that we are all storytellers, and as such have the choice to use stories to move our communities forward or backward.

    REPRESENTATION, POLITICS AND MONEY: A SCREENING GUIDE “I’m running because of Cori Bush. I’m running because of Paula Jean Swearengin.

Representation: Who is in Congress and Why it Matters How Money Works in Elections The Politics of Elections 25 Get Involved Share the Film Spark Conversations Across Party Lines Vote and Get Out the Vote Support a Candidate Run for Office 33 Resources for Further Learning 3 ABOUT THE FILM Knock Down the House is the story of four working-class women who embraced the challenge of running for Congressional office in the 2018 midterm elections. They are four of the record numbers who organized grassroots campaigns, rejected corporate PAC money and challenged the notion that everyday people can run successful campaigns against sitting incumbents. Collectively these candidates herald a cultural and political shift to transform the process of running and electing our representatives. Such changes do not occur in a vacuum, nor are they about a singular issue. Rather they about changing the attitudes, behaviors, terms, and outcomes of existing and entrenched norms and building towards a more inclusive and representative government. 4 LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR, RACHEL LEARS I’ve been making films about politics since the days of Occupy Wall Street. After having a baby in 2016, I thought I might take a break from political filmmaking—but the day after the election, I knew I had no choice.

We need to show that whether Donald Trump or Joe Biden are elected, the people will rule from below. We need to build our power to demand the transformational we need. We are living in an opportune time, as has existed previously in the United States when many of the issues people have fought for have come to the forefront, but the two parties disregarded the people. Similar to the abolition movement in the 19th century and the progressive/socialist movement in the early 20th century, this is our moment in the 21st century for systemic changes that fundamentally alter our healthcare system, economy, foreign policy, environmental policy and more. As Kali Akuno of Cooperation Jackson said in our recent Clearing the FOG interview (available Monday), the right- wing is using this time to push through their agenda of corporate bailouts, deregulation, and worker exploitation. If the left doesn’t organize and counter this, the country will continue on its current destructive path. The changes we want won’t come from the top. Both corporate duopoly candidate’s priorities are the wealthy investor class and big business.

  • Populism in a Divided America Stephen Richardson
    CONTRIBUTOR BIO STEPHEN RICHARDSON is a third year political science student, concentrat- ing in pre-law, and is a member of the Cal Poly Marksmanship Club. Stephen is a Marine veteran who was stationed in Okinawa, Japan from 2009-2011. Stephen hopes to eventually pursue a career in international law or diplomacy focused in national security. POPULISM IN A DIVIDED AMERICA Stephen Richardson “It’s the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, Black, White, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been just a collection of individuals or a collection of red states and blue states. We are, and always will be, the United States of America.” — Former President Barack Obama’s 2008 Victory Speech Former President Barack Obama most likely did not foresee how ironic this quote would become when he took the stage in Chicago after his historic 2008 election. Americans are now more divided and polarized than he could have imagined. Cultural divisions and political partisanship have been reaching fever-pitch, as a wave of populism has swept through Europe and the United States, fanning fears of demagoguery. With Brexit in the United Kingdom, and President Trump’s shocking victory in the US, many mainstream observers fear that fascism is both spreading through and threatening liberal democracies.1 1 Sheri Berman, “Populism is not Fascism: But it Could Be a Harbinger.” Foreign Affairs, December, 2016, 39. paideia Fascism is profoundly different than populism, and attempts to claim that recent events equate to fascism are exaggerated and incorrect.

  • The ‘Justice Democrats’ Are the Brains
    The ‘Justice Democrats’ Are the Brains Behind Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Who Was Recruited from a Pool of 10,000 Contestants Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) was recruited by the Justice Democrats, a group of radical leftist and socialists, that auditioned over 10,000 people to run as their candidate in Congress. The Justice Democrats intend to takeover the Democrat Party by ‘primarying’ out establishment Democrats and replacing them with hundreds of radical socialist puppets. The Justice Democrats, backers of the Green New Deal and open borders, intend to take over the Democrat Party, Congress and then the entire United States. Seven candidates endorsed by the Justice Democrats were elected to Congress in the 2018 interim elections. Two former Bernie Sanders strategists and Cenk Uygur of the Young Turks appear to be pulling the strings, but it is unclear who is funding the enterprise. Zack Exley, a key player in the Justice Democrats, was a fellow at George Soros’ Open Borders Foundation. Summary by JW Williams Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) was chosen by the Justice Democrats, a group of radical leftist and socialists, that auditioned over 10,000 people to run as their candidate in Congress. The Justice Democrats are employing a strategy of taking over the Democratic Party by ‘primarying’ establishment Democrats out of office by running hundreds of charismatic opponents against incumbent Democrats that they do not own. After taking control over the Democrat Party, they intend to control Congress and then the United States. In the recent 2018 elections, the Justice Democrats endorsed 79 candidates in Democrat primaries, and 26 of them advanced to the general election and 7 won seats in Congress.
