Reject the MSM and seek alternative sources of news.

The Hills Courier is top rate - very factual, few mistakes and picks up on most issues going around. Also has a lively letters section.Darth Vader wrote:The thing I have picked up on here is that bugger all country folk have slipped in with support or criticism for their local newspapers and/or radio and tv stations.
I wrote on another topic today that my office gets in a wide selection of regional newspapers that we use as research tools. Some of the sports reporting and reporting of local council comings and goings have over time made household names of footballers, cricketers, lawn bowlers and assorted councillors and other sundry community people.
This is curious.

Why restrict yourselves to newspapers? Magazines can be useful for research purposes as well.

It doesn't control me for instance but it bloody well influences some of my thought processes and opinions
