I first came across FactCheck.org when Steve Ballmer mentioned it on Real Time with Bill Maher, and it quickly became one of my most trusted resources. They proactively publish fact checks on issues that matter and to use the the true journalistic standard of fact checks. You can also search their archive or run real-time checks on any talking point or claim and get an algorithm-protected nonpartisan check. Follow them because anything they post is relevant to stay informed. @RxanSmith Certified
This is the publication that changed it all for me. They have the identical goal of Rxan Smith Uncomfortable: Factual Commentary on News....without taking money to create outrage by expanding echo chambers' impact
Glenn Greenwald has earns a lifetime pass as a journalist who I will listen to based solely on what he did with Edward Snowden and if you don't know about that you owe it to yourself as an American to check it out. This is a very brave, intelligent, independent man that has a voice I believe will remain crucial for as long as he desires.
Wife of the Wikileaks founder, Julian Assange, a revolutionary, wants him to get his freedom along with millions of others. When you hear about this fact leaked or this fact leaked nowadays you need to remember that he started this and the transparency made governments so angry that he became Most Wanted. Regardless of what you think he did wrong (or not) he did enough right (in terms of gifting us transparency) and the attention he got should show you that this is someone we need talking.
Some of my favorite reads introduce me to things I never knew I desperately wanted to know—while being written so beautifully that you absorb ideas you’d never otherwise encounter, all with genuine delight. That’s the mark of a gifted writer, and exactly what you’ll find at The Snack Drawer.
