   @laurelrusswurm watched your video of Michael Harris talk. I knew some stories, but others blew my mind. Definitely going to blog about it.

     @laurelrusswurm Yeah! I was startled! I *thought* I was well-informed on those stories I realize now how poor the mainstream coverage was.

     @indi Yes. The mainstream coverage is either entertainment or propaganda (that’s why we need an independent CBC)

     @laurelrusswurm I can't help but wonder if journalism wouldn't be better served if journalists spoke directly to the public more often.

     @indi There are others, but they tend to be independents and/or citizen journalists like @JesseBrown @jkoblovsky & @JoeyColeman !CDNpoli

     @indi The mainstream media offers entertainment and/or propaganda and calls it news. What you want alternate media.

     @laurelrusswurm I tried following rabble.ca, but given up on them cause their feeds don't have stories - just teasers; waste of my time.

     @laurelrusswurm What I would really like is a Canadian AlterNet. But I'll check the stuff on your list.
