Tired of being called a nut job by the mainstream media? Discover dignified health freedom and nutritional wisdom in the alternative media
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
(NaturalNews) The mainstream media can't figure out why it keeps losing readers and viewers. Maybe it's because they keep calling health-conscious consumers "whackos" and "kooks." In their latest example of alienating readers, mainstream media outlets like USA Today, Washington Post, Forbes.com and the New York Times have resorted to condemning all health-conscious consumers as nut jobs and kooks and conspiracy theorists... all because they want to avoid fluoride, pesticides, toxic heavy metals or GMOs.
If you filter fluoride out of your tap water before you drink it, you're a whacko, says the Washington Post. If you don't want to inject your children with the mercury, aluminum, MSG and formaldehyde still used in vaccines, you're a nut case, says Forbes, which also calls you an idiot for wanting to see accurate GMO labeling on foods. In fact, according to Forbes columnists, natural health advocates are a "danger to society." Because, you know, high-vibration chocolate is really, really dangerous. It might wake you up and jumpstart your brain, come to think of it.
Not to be outdone, USA Today has called for the arrest and imprisonment of parents who choose not to have their children injected with toxic vaccine ingredients. The paper openly supports the government-run medical kidnapping of children, the breaking up of families at gunpoint, and long prison sentences for parents who don't want to subject their children to the very real risks of vaccine side effects, which include seizures, comas, neurological disorders and even death.
When the news becomes a policy of medical fascism, something is terribly wrong
This is the new tactic of the clueless mainstream media: Scream at their readers and call them whackos for being health-conscious, well-informed people. It is the "North Koreazation" of the western corporate-controlled media, where all who disagree must be condemned, arrested and probably even executed as we'll no doubt start reading soon in mainstream newspapers.
In an era when almost everyone wants more transparency about what ingredients are in their food, what chemicals are in vaccines, what GMOs are in their breakfast cereals and whether BPA is in their plastic bottles, the mainstream media has resorted to calling all those people stupid paranoid conspiracy theorists and nut cases. This is how they think they're going to get more readers, apparently: Scream at their most intelligent readers and call them stupid, chasing them away, leaving behind only those audience members who really are dumb enough to believe anything the mainstream media tells them.
The mainstream media, of course, is nothing more than a corporate puppet mouthpiece institution. After all, they're financially supported by the very same drug companies, processed food companies, and GMO biotech companies that are poisoning everyone. So they can't have an honest discussion about the poisons in food, medicine and vaccines; that would betray the financial interests of their advertisers.
Instead, they call their readers crazy for wanting to avoid toxic chemicals, heavy metals and agricultural poisons. In this way, the media has become a group of "mercury denialists" and anti-science quacks who push corporate-spun fantasies like "atrazine is great for the environment!" or "all vaccines are proven safe and effective!"
Aren't you tired of being screamed at, condemned, vilified and subjected to the intellectual bigotry of the mainstream media? Maybe it's time you changed the channel.

Get your news and keep your dignity by tuning in to the alternative media
Here in the alternative media, we offer you a dignified experience in learning new things about current events and the world around you... things the mainstream media refuses to acknowledge even exist, such as the CDC whistleblower confession, natural cures for cancer and real news on the growing global financial crisis.
The alternative media treats you like the adult you are. We don't treat you like little children the way the mainstream media does, shoving corporate-influenced junk science down your throat with nauseating arrogance and demeaning name-calling. Instead, we figure you're smart enough to think for yourself.
In fact, you're probably smart enough to have already figured out the mainstream media is little more than elaborate theater, functioning as a sellout propaganda mouthpiece for corporate and government interests. No wonder NBC News anchor Brian Williams just admitted he's been fabricating his own news stories for years. Now, he claims that he mis-remembered which helicopter he was riding in when the one he WASN'T in got hit by an RPG. Yeah, right, Brian.
The alternative media is decentralized, grassroots independent news and investigation
What is the alternative media? It's a decentralized, grassroots network of real, passionate people who bring you news and views you simply won't find anywhere else. There's no single leader of the alternative media. No one has a boss, so no one can be fired by their boss, which means they can't be pressured into censoring important stories.
In fact, the alternative media is run by some of the most intelligent and capable people in the world: inventors, former company executives, entrepreneurs, natural health doctors, filmmakers, authors, media personalities, scientists and many more. We all have one thing in common: We refuse to sell out to corporate interests. We don't take money from drug companies, and we aren't suckered by government lies.
We also like to have some fun. That's why you'll frequently find alternative media websites running parodies, music videos, comedy skits and other creative forms of expression that symbolize the kind of intellectual freedom embraced across the alternative media.
Who exactly is the alternative media? We're actually the only remaining free press in the world: sites like TruthStreamMedia.com, NaturalNews.com, GreenMedInfo.com, HealthImpactNews.com, Vaxtruth.com and NoMoreFakeNews.com (see a more complete list below). On sites like these, and many others, you'll meet intelligent, award-winning investigative journalists who stand apart from the conventional corporate media. These are people driven by real curiosity and passion about what's happening in the world around us.
Can you trust the alternative media? You might think, "Well, they're not neutral. They've got opinions!" The truth is, every news source isn't neutral. The mainstream media pretends to be neutral but is actually 100% invested in promoting news that favors corporate and government interests while censoring all news that might threaten those interests. News neutrality is a lie, and any news source that claims to be neutral is being laughably dishonest.
In the mainstream media, you often don't even know who wrote the script being read by the news actor reading the teleprompter that you can't see because they don't want you to know the news is all scripted in the first place. In the alternative media, there are no teleprompters. People report from their hearts, with passion and integrity, bringing you valuable information from a source you can recognize and get to know. You may not agree with everything that person stands for, but at least you know they're a real person, and not just some rehashed corporate flaky spun onto television with a teleprompter and a makeup artist.
Really cool projects for humanity, too...
Alternative media people pursue really great projects for humanity, too. For example, right now I'm on the verge of launching the world's first non-electric, self-watering food grow system made from open source 3D printable parts. The project is described at www.FoodRising.org and it's a revolutionary new technology for self-reliance, home medicine production, survival preparedness, saving money on groceries and much more.
The technology is all being given away for free, with DIY videos, downloadable 3D object files and the free sharing of knowledge with the world. You won't see that kind of project coming out of the mainstream media, which incessantly pushes corporate domination, control and profits, even at the expense of what's really good for humanity.
Other alternative media minds have put together decentralized technology that help keep humanity free. Services like Unseen.is offer encrypted email that can't be read by the NSA, and Seen.is delivers a social media alternative to Facebook without all the spying on users.
Peer-to-peer crypto currencies like Bitcoin were also created by alternative minds. Everywhere you look around the world, grassroots people are rejecting the corporate domination of planet Earth and working to create a better planet with the open sharing of really great ideas, all of which are predictably attacked and denounced by the mainstream media for the simple reason that these are all disruptive technologies that threaten the status quo.
The mainstream media is, quite literally, making itself more and more irrelevant by the day. Its audience now primarily consists of the illiterate -- people who did not receive an education sufficient to teach them how to read and learn on their own.
Consider this: Even though I've started a Food Rising Revolution by donating 250 food grow systems to schools across America, you will never see a positive story about this news written in the Washington Post. It isn't because the concept isn't newsworthy -- if it were spearheaded by government or a university, it would be big news! -- it's because the innovation threatens their advertisers. Teaching people to grow their own food is a threat to Big Biotech and the corporate-run food factory system. They cannot allow any publicity of solutions that set humanity free from corporate control.
"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter." -- Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
The real difference between the mainstream media and the alternative media
The mainstream media condemns you; the alternative media believes in you.
The mainstream media despises intellectual diversity; the alternative media celebrates intellectual diversity.
The mainstream media screams at their audience with hatred and anger; the alternative media elevates their audience with knowledge and wisdom.
The mainstream media operates on astonishing intolerance and absolute hatred of critical thinking; the alternative media is widely diverse and welcoming of new ideas that challenge the status quo.
The mainstream media demands your arrest and imprisonment if you disagree with their corporate-control "science" agendas; the alternative media wants you to think for yourself and avoid being harmed by corporate chemicals added to foods, medications and more.
The mainstream media hates individual liberty and wants to crush the Bill of Rights and destroy the U.S. Constitution; the alternative media embraces liberty and freedom and wants to restore constitutional government that does not violate individual freedoms.
The mainstream media wants to use force, coercion and the threat of violence to force you to follow its demands. The alternative media wants you to use your brain and learn to THINK critically about what's really happening in the world around you.
The mainstream media fires any reporter that questions the status quo on issues like vaccines, biotechnology, pesticide toxicity or government corruption. The alternative media WELCOMES those reporters as truth-tellers, whistleblowers and independent thinkers who have something very valuable to contribute to society.
The mainstream media has high-budget studios, supermodel teleprompter readers, and big sponsorship budgets provided by companies like Merck, Monsanto, DuPont and Pfizer. The alternative media has low-budget studios, no teleprompters, normal-looking people and very tiny budgets that are often barely enough to get by. Alternative media people are driven by passion, not money, which is exactly why they are far more trustworthy in the first place.
The bottom line is simple: If you enjoy being screamed at, denigrated and condemned as a thought criminal, keep tuning in to the mainstream media, where corporate infiltration of the news is now absolute. On the other hand, if you enjoy thinking for yourself; if you believe in intellectual diversity and individual liberty; if you want to feel respected, dignified and valued for your unique ideas, get your news from the alternative media, where thinking for yourself is celebrated, not condemned.
