Today with mainstream media more than ever before in the hands of so few, (Canwest owns BCTV, the Vancouver Sun and Province and National Post) finding alternative views has been difficult. One source I refer to often is The Gazetteer. Ross publishes opinion in well thought out and researched pieces. A good alternative source to the main stream "pro-campbell press".
PEJ NEWS, a free service that provides both original material and republished stories often missed or buried on page D19 in the big media. PEJ NEWS is a progressive site where you will find news on peace, environment and justice issues in BC, Canada, the USA and internationally. Check out Peace, Earth and Justice News (PEJ NEWS).
Along the side of this space you can see a news feed from My Blagh News. This is a new service developed to provide views from the left.
Check out the following story from The Gazetteer
