Excellent coverage of political issues from many authors. The site clearly takes a stand for liberty and equality. So from the viewpoint of someone whose politics are very different from mine it is a most unexcellent site and clearly "biased". Sample quotes: 'Operation Iraqi... more

AlterNet is a project of the Independent Media Institute, was born in 1998, and attracts millions of readers every month (according to AlterNet). The overall web structure is very sophisticated, well-balanced in design. While covering the usual progressive topics spectrum ranging from Iraq, Afghanistan, the fake 'war on terror', and mass media corruption, it also adds a focus on drugs, the workplace, and Movies. There is a little of everything for everybody, certainly the 'mix' is attractive enough to lure a broader than usual range of online news addicts to this web page. Beneath the surface, however, we see the workings of a true independent media machine that outputs original, critical content every day, without the help of New York Times articles, or editorials from the Washington Post. What you read is new. Mass media free. Open-source. Features: the multimedia section makes MP3 worshippers rejoice, the selection of downloads beats most others. Certainly AlterNet's promise of using new technologies to fight the right-wing echo chamber has been made a reality. Well done. Bloggers and columnists are highlighted and worshipped, in a sense. That is a fact across all indy news outlets, and seems distracting at first, but is really not any different from corporate mass media idols and their own editorials. The difference is: AlterNet's writers don't have to answer to corporate ownership or government 'advisers'. Which - therefore - makes them one of us. Check out AlterNet, and check it out daily.

It seems all news reporting tends to have some knee-jerk rhetoric (either to the left or to the right) and that is also the case at alternet. But, that said, it is such a relief to read a different point of view from the mainstream media. Alternet is definitely worth a regular visit.
