Journalism is based in fact. Many of the so called "alt news" sources are blatantly and patently false, lies, or utter nonsense. If you can't find multiple sources to back up a statement as proof...it's probably not true.

Same people that trust alt news seem to not trust science....which is also based in fact. Weird, right?

? Wikileaks exposed them, and those are only the ones we know about. There's left biased alt-media too, I'm defending any alt-media source. I'll take independent media any day over mainstream.

Really? Did you click those wikileaks links or are you just assuming they're all true? I'm banking in the latter.

PS- why is wikileaks trustworthy? How do you know their "leaks" are even legit?

How do you know they're not trustworthy? Funny how nobody in the emails has denied them to be true. I haven't read all of the emails from wikileaks. I got the meme from Ron Paul. You're free to research it and prove it wrong. It'd probably be more producting than whining about it. I really don't feel like arguing in circles about it.

I don't need to research it. The onus is on people like you to prove they are true. Like science, true journalism is fact based. If you have multiple sources (especially verifiable primary sources) you can rely on the truth/facts. Until something is proven true it's not. A meme certainly does not prove anything.

Oh you mean the "facts" reported from mainstream "journalists" about WMDs in Iraq, Obamacare being free with no penalties and how Hillary was going to win the election? If you don't see the mainstream media's bias then that's your problem. Keep believing them like a good little sheeple.

I just hope you still believe wikileaks when they add more (unnecessary) evidence to show how corrupt Trump is. Because if you don't believe it by now I'm not sure what else you need.

No, a threat to freedom of speech would be shutting them down or imprisoning their creators. None of these are occurring in the United States.

Yer alt-right.
