The mainstream media has been exposed and is failing

No they are not. Please provide links if you wish to make such outrageous claims.
Nice in-depth analysis there....NOT!
Judging by your talk about "belief" and your insulting manner, I deduce that you have left wing views, am I right?
Anyway, if you'd bothered to click the links on the side bar, the first one is a link to an article from the Mises Institute - https://mises.org/blog/taxation-isnt-only-theft-its-destruction
and the other is about how liberal biased Buzzfeed is promoting racism.
InfoWars is partially similar to the Drudge Report, linking to articles of interest from other media outlets.
I do apologise for my blunt language.
My viewpoint is irrelevant. The point is in that the media should be trustworthy, and the mainstream media are the most trustworthy because they are reputable outlets who have done so for decades. Of course they are not beyond criticism, and there are certainly many criticisms which could be levelled at them. However, suggesting that they produce "fake news" is simply not true.
On infowars on the other hand, almost every "news" story is hate-based. This is not news, this is propaganda.
When you visit as many news sites as I do, it's important to stay sceptical and use discernment, even the compromised mainstream media outlets provide the truth sometimes.
Propaganda can also be used to propagate positive ideas, it's up to everyone to check the propagator's intentions. The whole idea behind InfoWars is in the name - to provide an alternative more truthful source of media from the corporate or state run mainstream media outlets.
The alternative media is winning the war and that is why there is such a huge effort to silence them.
I have no wish to silence anyone, but a good quality news site will provide a range of views, not single-minded rabid attacks on the same enemies over and over again.
The argument that propaganda can be positive is a little hard to swallow. But I'm glad you agree that infowars is propaganda. By definition that means "information, ideas, or rumors deliberately spread widely to help or harm a person, group, movement, institution, nation, etc.".
So not news then. Read it if you wish, but be aware of what it is.

Capehart declaring that “‘Hands Up, Don’t Shoot’ was a lie.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/blog...ting-of-michael-brown/?utm_term=.149b1af7a603
since this incident doesn't make me think every incident was false
as citizens... we demand from our government.... zero racial bias in our police
black lives matter.
Do a bit of research and you'll discover that many big news stories came from Infowars. That doesn't mean you should "believe" everything they say but you'll probably find an alternative perspective if a mainstream media story doesn't feel right. They usually direct you to the available facts.
Most recently, a more detailed analysis of the Wikileaks emails than the mainstream, they gave more exposure and interviewed Project Veritas who exposed the Democrat's corruption during the election campaign, bussing in voters, payed rioters at Trump Rallies, exposed a history of the depths of corruption that the
Clintons were involved in - that's rather important information to know when electing a president.
Older news includes subjects that have influenced the policy of many parts of the world, Water fluoridation, human medical trials, globalism, pedophilia, politicised climate science, conspiracies and other alternative subjects, The Bilderburg Group meetings and Politicians meeting at a Satanist's ceremony at Bohemian Grove, are no longer a secret, information that as a society that should know about.
An independent media platform that exposes the truth is undeniably a good thing, unfortunately, egos, political bias and ideologies can affect people's acceptance of the information they provide.
There isn't a competitor that comes close to Infowar's reach, if there was and if it was less politically bias, I'd get my information from there more often.
This is how morons like Trump win elections. They just keep spouting their bullshit - and it is demonstrably bullshit - until people cave in.

Hey... I called him out for being the right winged SHILL he IS, like... what... nearly a month ago? This guy is no more interested in TRUTHS than the "man on the moon." And from where he comes, there are MANY more.
All media is biased. All humans are biased!! i don't like the Young Turks' politics, but at least they're real and unpretentious. i feel like throwing something at the TV when Fareed Zakaria or whoever comes on (stupid Muslim, i don't really like them as a tangent....)
Eh Francisco, get off the pot or shit amigo, drop a stool, pinch a loaf, go see a man about a horse, man you're hurting bad..talk about stuck up..whew

There are perhaps 1.6 billion Muslims in this world. We cannot have 1.6 billion enemies. And Zakaria is so clearly not an enemy at all — eminently rational, eminently beyond the enclosures of creed, eminently the sort of Muslim that any rational person should be able to hear in a deep and profound way.
If you can't make common cause with someone like him, then you and your ilk — easily as much as the most benighted Muslim extremist — are the enemies of all hope that we might forget our differences and remember our humanity.
