WHERE SHOULD WE GET OUR INFORMATION?

Without the popular media, the secular would have little awareness of what goes on beyond our personal experience.
The media - the mainstream / corporate / establishment media - provide a certain understanding of the world.

But, what if the media's goal is not to inform us, but to misdirect us?
What if they do this by manufacturing false narratives that reflect the views of established power, and serve the agendas of a global oligarchy, offering endless streams of propaganda, disinformation and lies, misinforming us and preventing us from understanding how the world really works?

What if media celebrities, pundits, news presenters, journalists, producers and editors, are not interested in telling us the truth? What if they are purposely misrepresenting the facts and leaving out critical information about issues and events?
What if they are just uninformed themselves or have been socialized to publish information that they know their bosses and owners want, while avoiding subjects and news content they know will hurt their careers?
What if as a result, they lie to us, every day, all of the time?

What if the narrative that the oligarchy constructs through their control of most major media institutions worldwide is false, and has as its goal, not to give us the information we need to participate in democratic government and understand the world, but to misinform us in order to maintain their power and the power of western financial, corporate, dynastic and political elites - to preserve the status quo - in order to ensure the continued hegemony of the oligarchy?

If this is the reality, what should we do? If we want the truth, where do we go to get it?
