New Member/ News Sources?

[jtyr8nt93]

Hello everybody. My name is Jeremy and I'd like to join into the ranks of this forum. I was a conservative first because of my belief in the free markets and I once had a belief in a tough foreign policy. then I switched over to the liberal side because of the rhetoric of the apparent equality of results and the caring of minorities and other social classes. And now, I think I have found a home with Ron Paul, Rand Paul, Murray Rothbard, George Reisman, and all of you.

I actually want to use my first post not just as an introduction, but as for my first question. What news does everyone follow for the happenings in the world? I no longer stand MSM and the incessant statist propoganda and talk show yelling. But without these, what sources of news can I get? Libertarian leaning would be nice, but news sources that tell what is REALLY happening with no bias is good enough. I already do mises blog and lewrockwell. And John Stossel is one of the few people on Fox I watch. So, any help for a newbie?

You should definitly check out "Freedom Watch" with Judge Andrew Napalitano on Fox Business (You can find youtubes frequently). Also, DailyPaul.com is a pretty good resource for random freedom movement videos and news.

But really, just stick your head in the "General Politics" forum, and you'll get a fair amount of news that has been filtered for bias from us liberty-minded folk.

A lot of us check Drudgereport.com simply because Drudge gets stories / news incredibly fast; but Drudge has a slight Neo-con bias simply based on the types of stories he chooses to run / provide links for (and also how he titles his links). Take drudgereport with a grain of salt. If you have doubts, just ask anyone on the forums and we'll be happy to give you the scoop.

Oh, and Welcome to LibertyForest!


Edit: For example, someone just linked today's youtube for freedom watch in General Politics! See here: http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?283132-Freedom-Watch-3-10-11

Absolutely second to none.

www.wsws.org I don't always agree with their conclusions, however, they are certainly unbiased for ideologues and their analysis is some of the best I've seen.

Welcome! I would say that most of the news is irrelevant. I would get as educated as you can at Mises.org. They have thousands of open source wonderful books and a vast array of media. If you want to get a better understanding of the world you should take a week and listen to mises university http://mises.org/media/category/17/Mises-University 2009 has audio and video lectures. They also have a great Itunes section for downloading the media.

Another + for Freedom Watch with Judge Napolitano.

I get a lot of my news here. Welcome, it's a good feeling to be enlightened isn't it. Takes a while to see through all of the lies, at least it did for me.

I also look at Mises Institute, Lewrockwell.com, daily caller, tom wood blog page, read a lot of books too.

Not a news source.

 

[Anti Federalist]

Not a news source.

Sure it is. A pretty good one too, with a staff of decent writers.

They broke the MIAC story, among other things and link to MSM stories daily.

New member here also, but been following Dr. Paul for about 4 years. Figured I would register to this site before he announces, just want to be ready for all the great discussions that are sure to come. Always been a fan of RP videos made by the grassroots like "A New Hope", or "Don't Tread On Me". so I decided to give it a try. Here's the latest one I did.

I also put together an hour of you tubes to educate newbies. I call it Ron Paul, The Champion of the Constitution. This is my first post on this site, just trying to get used to it.
