Hi DU:

Now that we have the group, let's develop a list of resources to maintain in a thread we can pin to the top of the board.

We're looking for both "alternative progressive news SOURCES", and useful media gathering TOOLS, such as news feeds, little known cable and broadcast television and radio stations, podcasts, social media, etc.

Please add your contributions and a short description along with the URL would be helpful.

Spiegel Online International: http://www.spiegel.de/international/

Media Channel, a directory of resources: http://www.mediachannel.com/

Stratfor Global Intelligence: http://www.stratfor.com/ ***Stratfor is a contractor to CIA, pretty creepy.

Also, if you have suggestions for how to logically order these various resources, please feel free to offer ideas!

Thanks!
