It's so hard to find reliable news or non corporate viewpoints today. The doublespeak of 1984 really seems to be the vocabulary of government, politics, and many news sources. I've tried to amass a collection of news sources which include the finest standard American news institutions as well as hard to find reporting unfiltered by the constraints of our increasingly consolidated mass media - or at least filtered through different filter(s). It was fairly hard to find honest and authoritative alternative sources, but I think I succeeded pretty well. I haven't found a collection of news links I respect nearly as much, but of course, I collected what I like. I hope you like this as well. You'll also find a significant collection of foreign news sources printed in English, so if something significant is happenning in the world, you can hear reporting from where it is happenning, instead of only what is available from American sources. I've spent a lot of time ferreting out these sources, and if you're interested in the news, several hours investigating what's here could be illuminating. If you want to listen to only 90 minutes of news (or additional news) each week, check out Media Matters and CounterSpin, to get honest reporting you won't find elsewhere.

National Security Archive	"An independent non-governmental research institute and library located at The George Washington University, the Archive collects and publishes declassified documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act. The Archive also serves as a repository of government records on a wide range of topics pertaining to the national security, foreign, intelligence, and economic policies of the United States. The Archive won the 1999 George Polk Award, one of U.S. journalism's most prestigious prizes, for-in the words of the citation - "piercing the self-serving veils of government secrecy, guiding journalists in the search for the truth and informing us all.""
Global Security.org	The best data on matters military and security (worldwide) you're likely to find Praised by Forbes, USA Today, BBC, Times of London, NY Times, National Journal, US News and World Report ... It's the real thing Mission: "Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but not their own facts. We try to bring you the facts, to help you form your opinion. We try to stick to the facts, and let others debate opinion. Knowledge is often power, and it is therefore often helpful to be aware of a broad universe of conflicting results or conflicting opinions rather than having a portion of this information arbitrarily censored by someone else. Frequently one wants to know of the existence of information, even if one later decides not to use it for a particular application. Many would like to see a high percentage of the information available and decide for themselves what to throw out, partly because they don't want to seem uninformed or be caught by surprise by potentially important information. They are in a better position if they can say: "I knew about that data, assessed it based on the following quality assurance criteria, and decided not to use it for this application." This is especially true for users near the end of long decision processes."
The Freedom Info Site	"This site is a one-stop portal that describes best practices, consolidates lessons learned, explains campaign strategies and tactics, and links the efforts of freedom of information advocates around the world. It contains crucial information on freedom of information laws and how they were drafted and implemented, including how various provisions have worked in practice."
Access Reports	"For more than 25 years, Access Reports has been the news source of choice for professionals concerned with access to government information. Access Reports' publications keep subscribers up to date on all freedom of information and privacy issues, tracking policy trends while summarizing and analyzing court decisions, legislation (federal, state, and --in Canada-- provincial), regulations, and agency guidance. Access Reports provides the most comprehensive coverage available of access issues in the United States, Canada, and abroad: "
Hoover Institute - Policy Review	Hoover scholars produce an impressive body of books, provocative essays, and in-depth articles that explore ideas with the potential to transform society. But unless those ideas are widespread, the opportunity to have an impact is lost. Policy Review is a bimonthly publication provides new and serious thinking on matters of public policy. Education Next and China Leadership Monitor are two other publications accessible from the same site
Hoover Digest	Hoover scholars produce an impressive body of books, provocative essays, and in-depth articles that explore ideas with the potential to transform society. But unless those ideas are widespread, the opportunity to have an impact is lost. Hoover Digest, Hoover's award-winning quarterly, presents an overview of the research by Hoover scholars.
The Brookings Institution	A Huge number of studies and research (and some news) on a broad range of issues. "The Brookings Institution is a private nonprofit organization devoted to independent research and innovative policy solutions. For more than 90 years, Brookings has analyzed current and emerging issues and produced new ideas that matter�for the nation and the world. For policy-makers and the media, Brookings scholars provide the highest quality research, policy recommendations, and analysis on the full range of public policy issues. Research at the Brookings Institution is conducted to inform the public debate, not advance a political agenda. Our scholars are drawn from the United States and abroad�with experience in government and academia�and hold diverse points of view. Brookings's goal is to provide high-quality analysis and recommendations for decision-makers in the U.S. and abroad on the full range of challenges facing an increasingly interdependent world."
