As editor of The Liberty Daily and owner of Discern Report, I spend more time sifting through headlines than 99.999% of the population. I’m sure there has to be someone out there who does absolutely nothing other than read and/or watch various news sources who might have more hours logged everyday than I do, but I definitely put in the time 365 days per year.
My feed carries over 300 conservative news sites, blogs, and video channels that updates in near-real-time and I read the headlines of about 90% of it daily. That’s literally thousands of headlines that I read with hundreds of the stories scanned and dozens fully read or watched. I have a unique understanding of the biases, styles, and nuances of these outlets and as a result I know who to trust, depending on the topic.
This is extremely important today, perhaps more than ever, with so many important events hitting us incessantly. On today’s episode of The JD Rucker Show, I’ll be going through as many of these outlets as possible with my assessments of the good, bad, and ugly. I’ll also be taking calls and reacting to chats as they come in to keep it as interactive as possible. This will also help me to learn more about other outlets; any time I do a show like this I get word about outlets that I need to add to my feed.
Here’s a sampling in no particular order of a dozen of the outlets I trust and why. Considering I read through so many every day, this list should NOT be construed as encompassing. I could write about 50 outlets I like but that would be too long. Twelve is a good starting point, and I’m sure I’ll talk about many more during my show today. Here’s the abbreviated list…
The Gateway Pundit
When it comes to speed of getting out breaking stories, few can compete with Jim Hoft’s outlet. They’re on the ball with the headlines and they have no problem with getting a little “fringe” from time to time. Sometimes their reporting is very short, but it’s fast so there’s always a tradeoff.
Revolver News
If The Gateway Pundit is often fast and thin, Darren Beattie’s Revolver News is often slow and thick with their original content. But they have the luxury of going in-depth with older important stories because they curate the breaking news from other sources on their homepage so they have the best of both worlds. Their coverage of January 6 is unmatched and their adherence to the MAGA philosophy us unquestionable.
Liberty Sentinel
Alex Newman is the most underrated journalist in America today. He has a sharp mind and a clear vision of the geopolitical threats Americans face today and into the future. If I had $100 million laying around I’d build a news outlet around him because the only thing he lacks is reach.
The Epoch Times
Of all the corporate news outlets out there, The Epoch Times is generally the most trustworthy. They are not afraid to call out Covid vaccines, voter fraud, or any of the other “taboo” topics the vast majority of corporate media sites avoid. An added bonus is that their economic news coverage is lowkey stellar; I would argue they have a better grasp of financial realities than sites like Bloomberg that supposedly specialize in money-talk.
Zero Hedge
Some have a problem with the “allegiances” held by the guys who run Zero Hedge, but I’ve found that it’s pretty easy to distinguish between any self-serving propaganda and the real news they deliver. And if The Epoch Times is stellar at delivering financial news that’s on-point, Zero Hedge does the deep dives some people need to get the full financial picture.
End of the American Dream and The Economic Collapse Blog
Michael Snyder is definitely polarizing. Some love him. Others can’t stand him. He’s an alarmist at times, but he puts in the time to do the research and draw conclusions based on an appropriate combination of facts.
Just The News
John Solomon’s outlet takes great care in being accurate. That’s part of their namesake, which means they will sometimes be a bit slow on delivering the news. On the other hand, they often get scoops. But whether the news is hot-off-the-press or a reiteration of what was being reported the day before, you can trust whatever they publish is going to be real and verified.
Alt-Market
Brandon Smith is a genius. I disagree with him from time to time as his assessments can occasionally be nihilistic, but for the most part he nails it. He’s an economic stallion who adores freedom and is willing to recommend actions the vast majority of journalists would think are too “fringe.” For this reason I read everything he ever posts.
Todd Starnes
It’s funny that in an article about news bias I find myself invoking my own bias about Todd Starnes. The Fox News refugee has really shined as an independent news outlet of his own, and I’m biased because I consider him to be a friend. But like Just the News, he and his team go to great lengths to make sure every word they publish is accurate. They also add the speed that other similar news outlets can’t match. If a story breaks, chances are high that Starnes has a story up within minutes.
Headline USA
If any news outlets deserves to be bigger than they are, it’s Headline USA. They do a fantastic job of getting the most important news patriots need to read, but for whatever reason they don’t get nearly the attention they deserve.
RAIR Foundation
Of all the outlets on today’s list, RAIR is the one that takes the most heat internationally. They’re often accused of being “Islamophobic” because their articles expose Islam, terrorism, and unchecked migration from Muslim nations into Europe. They don’t hide their concerns about these issues and as a result they get negative labels. But I’ve never seen them post anything that’s inaccurate. Being critical does not mean they’re wrong.
Natural News
Mike Adams, who I consider to be a friend, has put together one of the most controversial news sites on the internet. They’ve been cancelled more than other “fringe” sites like Infowars to the point that their links aren’t even allowed on Facebook. Before Elon Musk bought Twitter, you couldn’t post their links there either. But they’re absolutely fearless and tackle topics that others won’t touch. My only complaint is that some of their stories are aged. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing; just because a story broke last week doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be talking about it today.
Again, this list is far from comprehensive. It’s a starting point from which I’ll launch today’s show. We’ll be talking about a lot more news outlets and I’ll take calls from people who will almost certainly offer up outlets I’m not currently watching. Tune in at 5am Pacific on Rumble, or catch me on shortwave at 7490 kHz or 13845 kHz.
Controlling Protein Is One of the Globalists’ Primary Goals
Between the globalists, corporate interests, and our own government, the food supply is being targeted from multiple angles. It isn’t just silly regulations and misguided subsidies driving natural foods away. Bird flu, sabotaged food processing plants, mysterious deaths of entire cattle herds, arson attacks, and an incessant push to make climate change the primary consideration for all things are combining for a perfect storm to exacerbate the ongoing food crisis.
The primary target is protein. Specifically, they’re going after beef as the environmental boogeyman. They want us eating vegetable-based proteins, lab-grown meat, or even bugs instead of anything that walked the pastures of America. This is why we launched a long-term storage prepper beef company that provides high-quality food that’s shelf-stable for up to 25-years.
At Prepper All-Naturals, we believe Americans should be eating real food today and into the future regardless of what the powers-that-be demand of us. We will never use lab-grown beef. We will never allow our cattle to be injected with mRNA vaccines. We will never bow to the draconian diktats of the climate change cult.
Visit Prepper All-Naturals and use promo code “veterans25” to get 25% off plus free shipping on Ribeye, NY Strip, Tenderloin, and other high-quality cuts of beef. It’s cooked sous vide, then freeze dried and packaged with no other ingredients, just beef. Stock up for the long haul today.
One can read over 2,000 articles critical of the WHO —— yet NEVER any mention that Bill Gates and his Gates Foundation pays the salaries of SIXTY or more senior managers at the WHO (public domain information, listed under SECONDMENTS) —- disinformation by absence!
One can read over 2,000 articles critical of DEI —— yet NEVER any mention that they are communist political minder systems —- equivalent to having a “political minder” on every city block in communies countries!!
Numerous articles by CIA assets at The Gateway Pundit and many halfwitted election disinformation articles repeating CIA disinfo memes at the TGP!
Zerohedge was purchased several years back by the owners of the NY Post, who banned hundreds or thousands of anticommunist commenters from their site?!?!
Headline USA has carried some decent articles and more than a few controlled opposition fictional articles!!
I’d go with conservativetreehouse and sometimes American Thinker! No media actually exists in America as there’s a purposeful absence of the FACTS!
TGP – A decent site but they mix far too much biased opinion with the news especially with the Israel-Hamas conflict in which they don’t even bother presenting the Palestinian side.
Natural News – Has become a propaganda site. Too much opinion presented as news and not backed up. The guillotines they claimed the Canadian government purchased were actually paper cutters too small to fit someone’s head in. It took about 2 minutes to verify this yet they didn’t bother to do so.
Alex Newman – Fantastic!
I disagree with both the article and your assessment on TGP: too many CIA disinformation memes have been promoted at the TGP site and only recently, after many years of posting that (CIA) Larry Johnson is a Hillary Clinton supporter, did Johnson finally admit to ever being a Hillary promoter, now he claims he no longer supports her?! (In a dual article with that farce and CIA “limited hangout specialist” Ray McGovern!)
Too many confusing and incorrect CIA–supportive clickbait stories misleading on election fraud —— by “misleading” I mean that massive election fraud took place, but then TGP goes with the CIA eternal meme, “the machines can be hacked” — instead of THE MACHINES ARE THE HACK! Also, they cavalierly ban patriot commenters; they not only banned me, they erased/deleted every single comment, every data—filled and well sourced comment ever posted –— next, two to three years later I see my comments posted word–for–word at Joe Hoft’s site on election fraud, which is the SECONDARY FRAUD!
With regard to the mention of “Headline USA” at this site, occasionally they run a decent piece, but far too many are similar to one article recently where they claim one “Jade Parker” to be a “counterterrorism operator” with nothing than a fake interview at a site called “Town House” with two flakes: five minutes of research revealed nothing to substantiate any claims she worked for JSOC, and in fact she was or is a media person for Malcolm Nance of CNN — this Jade Parker character “works” at Malcolm Nance’s (of CNN) NONEXISTENT “think tank” (only a flimsy web presence, no legal status, still in forever “pending” mode)! Anything stink about that???
Here’s a perfect example of fakey reporting to bolster up the globalists among us: a commentary by long–time globalist, Stephen Moore (isn’t he Timothy Geithner’s cousin???) In THE EPOCH TIMES, and carried also by ZEROHEDGE, where all these witless commenters posted on it, evidently oblivious as to the background of MOORE, which negated their usually silly comments, exposes why so many of the sites mentioned are still in the FAKE NEWS category!!!
True, I have subscribed and donated to THE EPOCH TIMES, but mainly for their China and Asian coverage and obvious anticommunist attitude, but contributors like Victor Hansen, telling us the obvious 20 years toooo late, and globalists like Stephen Moore, stating the obvious problems he helped to bring about, does not help events!
“My feed carries over 300 conservative news sites,”
300?!?!?! Outside of “theconservativetreehouse” I have yet to locate any other conservative sites, just a bunch of controlled opposition sites???
“If any news outlets deserves to be bigger than they are, it’s Headline USA.”
I counted THIRTEEN fake news stories this month at Headline USA in support of false narratives from the IC, or Intelligence Community! (Who does Rucker work for???) One item on phony Jade Parker, a Malcolm Nance stooge posing as some sort of “counterterrorism expert” generated a fake comment on John Sullivan’s father, forever misidentified as some USAF general, when in POINT OF FACT, he is the retired Lt.Col. Jack Sullivan, foemerry with the Army’s INTELLIGENCE SUPPORT ACTIVITY then later with CIA front organizations —— there was a national disinformation operation, led or begun by MAX BLUMENTHAL, to misidentify or falsely identify Lt.Col. Jaxk Sullivan as someone else —— WHY?!?! [BLUMENTHAL later retracted his story on the MISIDENTIFIED USAF general!]
Because he was the Jan. 6 Operation Coordinator, perhaps – Lt.Col. Jack Sullivan has the right profile for that job, and his foster son, John Earle Sullivan and sidekick Jade Sacker (yet another “Jade”) were active agents provocateur that day at the US Capitol Building — PLEASE NOTE how his correct foster father is carefully EXCLUDED from all reportage in the controlled opposition PuppetMedia!!!
