Guess what? Corporate media is not your friend. CNN or Fox.

As soon as neoliberal ideals are challenged (i.e. the military industrial complex in this case), the [corporate] media goes on the offensive.

Manufacturing Consent is a great book that delves into the specifics. Highly recommend.

My news site list nowadays is

• AP, whose coverage of Gaza and the protests has usually been well above a “passing grade” for me
• Al Jazeera, who is obviously and very overtly biased, but has a wide range of world news, and has a lot of good opinion contributors
• The Intercept
• Unicorn Riot
• The Hill, because I feel it’s important for me to see how The State views itself and actions within it
• Hacker News, for tech stuff
• Gaming news sites

I used to check CNN and Fox to see ‘what the enemy is doing’, but frankly it’s entirely predictable what stances they’re pushing on any given subject, and it’s frustrating to the point of exhaustion to read it without being able to scream at those responsible.

Also, kudos to Time for publishing actual student coverage of the protests.
