Take the News into your own hands

After my last post, I received a bunch of emails from co-workers on the topic. More or less, everyone had their own opinion which is a great thing. Everyone played nice and respected others opinions. That is the point here in America - A national dialog. Not just huge media organizations which cater to either the left or the right. Big Media seems more about spreading disinformation lately as opposed to really helping American's understand the real issues. So, if the media organizations are broken, where is one to go for their news? The answer is Current.com. I'm not sure if this is the only website dedicated to "User Defined News", but it is definitely worth checking out if you want a new way to consume the news that is important to you.

The website in conjunction with the actual Current TV Channel (you can find Current TV through DISH, DirectTV, Comcast, AT&T & Others) is 100% based on feedback from the viewers (us!). The producers of much of the content - including the advertisements - are independent producers from around the country. Check out the site and become a member. Subscribe to the topics of interest to you and submit news yourself! Its fun and liberating to engage on topics you are interested in and not just take in the crap that is fed to us over the airwaves every day.
