It seems like every few days a new person is driven out of news reporting or journalism to go on Substack or Rumble or something. Some start their own web sites.
It does little good to say you're boycotting A, B, or C if there are only six networks all owned by billionaires and censored by officials with the connivance of said billionaires to try to keep either from taking the full blame for being censors. Free people need their OWN network.
What that amounts to is this: we need to collect as many of these myriad voices in the wilderness as possible, AND come up with a way for people to go through and find their most noteworthy items collaboratively. Because yes, editors are few and far between out there, and people deprived of their merited audience tend to get self-indulgent like forum posters. There needs to be a way to have a variety of "drudge report" like compilations, from different perspectives, so that readers reconnect with the exiles and have an alternative to the corporations.
Now yes, I realize this is a temporary measure - once the big outlets are suitably domesticated, the little people are next. But a lot of things are temporary nowadays, including the human race.
So please - tell us some good places to look!
