Where to get our news:
These are people and organizations I believe to be reliable, but please vet them for yourself as well. I’d certainly want to know if you find any of them problematic and why. They are not listed in any kind of priority or ranking and they are most certainly not complete. I’ve also listed large news organizations that seem compromised either because they are only propaganda for the Fascist Oligarchy or they have tempered coverage to curry favor / avoid retribution. Stay strong!

Evaluating news sources:
Here are some resources that looked interesting and might help evaluate the reliability of news sources. I listed a couple of library guides but these were picked mostly at random. An internet search will reveal that many university librarires have created similar guides.
- Resources for Evaluating News Sources – from the University of Arizona library
- Steps and Tools for Evaluating the News – from Rutger University libraries
- Media Bias / Fact Check
