The last few years have seen the growth of "alternative" news sites in opposition to the "biased MSM" (mainstream media), such as Breitbart and The Canary to name a couple. I was wondering what other members on here think of them.
I have to say, having read some of the things on The Canary, that it's made me appreciate how good the BBC and the New Statesman are. The Canary's just full of far left conspiracy theories regarding the Tories, with a side dish of hatred and bile for the BBC and people who aren't on board with Corbyn's Labour. Their campaign against Laura Kuenssberg is pretty disgraceful. I also tried "Another Angry Voice", but it was more of the same really. I bet the bloke who writes said blog is a joy at parties.
Breitbart is obviously a far right hate site, but I see a lot of what I would deem respectable people sharing Canary articles, which saddens me.
