Best alternative, anti-American, left-wing news website?

I am looking for a website, or youtube channel that has in depth analysis on current affairs from a left wing point of view but being realistic and not mindless propaganda. Any suggestions?

Well truth is you won't find any. You have to search online. Al Jazeera - no. BBC - no. Best sites I only know is Niti central (an indian one but tells the truth) and apart from that I don't know any others.

Daily Mail. All those commoners and blacks in America!

Guardian?


Didn't they expand to USA a while ago? I'd say they have also taken a sharp nose-dive down to the lower classes too.
I'd use a wide range if I was you.
My normal combo is: Reuters, openDemocracy, Rabble and libcom (as an anarchist), Huffington Post etc.

On top of that there's a few blogs to go for. My favourite is Another Angry Voice.

As far as YouTube channels go is Russel Brand's The Trews and just see where that takes you.

Good luck comrade.
New Statesman? The Young Turks?
Not sure why you want "anti-american" when there is a lot of left wing stuff poeple from america produce but whatever.

Blogs and activist sites like these are good as well.

terrible anti-science misinformation spreaders
If you don't mind me asking, why would you want a socialist/anti american news source, wouldn't you ideally want an independent and unbiassed news source from which you can form you own well informed opinions?

I agree, that's why I never stick with one site.

HuffPo posts anti-vaccine rhetoric, also anti-GMO and more misinformation about biotechnology + nonsense about organic food. Same deal with Brand really, although I wouldn't see the appeal of him anyway even if he didn't.

Huffington is trash, and Vice is chavvy.

AlJazeera is good if you live in a country with good links to the Middle East (India for example).

CCTV is fm

Not sure if they are against natural sciences but the Trews do ignore alot of established theories in the science of economics. I find some of the opinions come out way too naive when trying to propose solutions to very real problems

The Atlantic is a great magazine imo

Not exactly left-wing though, more centrist.
