143. Yes...
"And your remark about the ACLU or DNC...LOL! Do you think these organizations are on our side?"

...I do believe that they are on our side.

"Honestly?"

Quite honestly.

"Don't you understand that they are all part of the same party...the CFR?"

Oh good Lord. You can't be serious. I hope you don't mean the Coucil on Foreign Relations? Shouldn't you be more worried about the Trilateral Commission? Give me a break. I think I'd rather spend my time fantasizing that black helicopters and aliens from Mars are coming to take me away.

"Of course you're free to continue with your 'I'll only trust reputable sources' paradigm...but that's nothing more than a sure-fire way to be dead wrong and completely misinformed on the vast majority of issues."

Alternative media is fine as an additional resource. But the mainstream press is far more likely to have reliable, sourced, fact checked articles than places like whatreallyhappened.com and iraqwar.ru. I think it is far better to get a mix of all news sources, blogs, commentary and analysis - from the left, right and all other perspectives. I have seen plenty of people that rely on only alternative media - all too often they live in a fantasy world of make believe and conspiracy theories.
