Doesn't Mitt Romney have like 15 failed elections under his belt?

In NBA terms he's basically LeBron. He chokes in the finals! Not clutch, can't become MVP of the United States.

How many times did Abraham Lincoln lose in elections before he became president?

Has Mitt won a few more elections than you have?

I'm all for alternative news over the mainstream media but AJ is not the source I mostly rely on tbh. Not one of his hardcore die-hard fans. I'll admit he does bring some good stuff to the table though.

You probably shouldn't be. I understand that most(if not all) media organizations have their own spin. The way to deal with that(in my view) is to follow the news from multiple sources with opposing agendas. Try to read between the lines and understand their agenda. Getting your info from any blogger mcdouchface that has no responsibility to anything resembling the truth is probably not a good strategy for developing a reasonable world view.

Here is a link for NPR. They have a slightly left of center bias. They are however a good source for news and info. I often disagree with their contributors on an ideological basis but I do respect their journalistic cred.

https://www.npr.org/

Here is a link for Reason magazine. I don't often go there because it is just mental ************ for me. I agree with their contributors far too often. Also respectable though not exactly daily news.

Here is a group of other sites I often end up reading when I'm curious.

And many many more. The idea of mainstream media is a myth. There is an incredible amount of respectable media that all have varrying biases. On any given subject there are many decent publications reporting on different angles. There is no need to get your news from the Alex Jones types. Simply read a few articles from sources you think have a different bias for a given subject and the "truth" will jump out at you.
 
^also I Love the Daily Show and John Stewart is hilarious but srsly it's not news. It's Talk Soup done really well. I always want to smack people when they say they get their News from the Daily Show. What they should really say is "I don't watch/read the News"

I like your approach, I also lurk around what is considered the 'mainstream' media (quoted because we may not define it the same way). Let's call it less popular websites. I honestly have opened my eyes to more things that are going on than if I would have just stuck to ABC or FOX to give an example. And a larger part of what I've learned has been through personal research, learning some History etc...
