The Alternative Media is media including blogs, newspapers and talkback radio, which present different viewpoints on news when compared to the mainstream media. The perspectives they provide are often free from the liberal bias that is present in the Mainstream Media, the term references media that is not in the pocket of mainstream liberal media. Alternative media tends to be conservative like Rush Limbaugh, libertarian like Alex Jones, and/or Christian like The Christian Post, though in rare cases some liberal alternative media outlets exist such as The Young Turks. The conservative website Drudge Report is one of the longest running alternative news aggregates online.
Mainstream media organs
Several mainstream corporate-backed and/or taxpayer-funded masquerade as alternative, including The Nation and Village Voice.
