Well, I voted too. But I am not that particularly worried. Judging from the statistics, and the links they bring us as the examples of "fake news", SOTT may actually get more news readers this way. ;)

Yup. The PTB must be somewhat worried to push these sort of sites and polls. Frankly, I think the voting is probably fixed and not a representation of an actual outcome. But I voted anyways.

Lately, I've encountered more than a few people who have become skeptical about major media outlets, be they social or news-related. They are curious as to why certain sites are considered untrustworthy by Google, Facebook, Twitter and established news organizations when these same companies have knowingly pushed false info or purposefully hid comments and results to further an agenda that benefits elites. Some have admitted checking out the so-called fake news sites and found the info more interesting and truthful than what they are fed in the mainstream.

Bjorn took a screenshot before and after we started voting and it does move as we continue to vote.

Here's Bjorn's post showing the outcome: https://cassiopaea.org/forum/index.php/topic,43138.msg712352.html#msg712352
 
Are the mainstream news sites listed also for voting? I reckon we could vote them down.

Only the infamous biggest +200 websites that are a threat to their media monopoly. Though some websites seem to be added just to smear the crowd. Like some whitepower websites and the likes.


One of their partner websites gives advice at how to free yourself from Russian fake news:

For example.

We call on the American public to:

Obtain news from actual reporters, who report to an editor and are professionally accountable for mistakes. We suggest NPR, the BBC, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, Buzzfeed News, VICE, etc, and especially your local papers and local TV news channels. Support them by subscribing, if you can!


There is also a kind of Dutch variant of this website, I learned that in the Netherlands children these days at school learn (indoctrinated) to only trust official known mainstream sources. And disregard all the others. They even have tests for that.

It doesn't look like they are I'm afraid.

I was thinking that making a counterpart where only the mainstream media outlets are on it could be fun. That I reckon, will gain a lot of traffic. And a lot of negative votes and positive attention.

It's the kind of climate you want to create to bury them in.

There isn't much text on their website, this is basically it:

Untrustworthy News

Read with an open mind. This news source is untrusted and controversial. These articles are for informational purposes only. Check the facts against multiple trusted news sources.

Instead for the counterpart:

Untrustworthy News

This news sources are harmfull to humanity. Propaganda is their work, objectivity and fair reporting their enemy. Their lies cause death and suffering. Millions have perished because of it and will continue to do if you stand aside them. Check the facts against multiple trusted news sources.


But I don't know if that would take a lot of work? And if this is a good idea in the first place.

Please deactivate that link to propornot by prefixing it with an underscore. It's definitely a toxic website!

Just to be clear, the propornot website apparently was created by nasty Ukrainian neo-nazi cyberactivist hackers, the same berserkers loosely associated with the CIA who produced the "peacemaker" website, which attacks independent journalists and activists opposed to the Kiev regime. They have a record of pursuing and publishing information about the addresses of their targets, including at least one (Oles Buzina) who was assassinated, shot dead outside his home.
 
Voted, and it let me refresh the page, but I let go of the slider too soon on 7. :/ I'll try to vote for a few more days. It looks like the average is now at 8.
 
Haha and I was just going to vote too! Well perhaps we can do as Laura suggested and create a site to vote down untrusted sites. Especially after reading about the failed financial psychopath saying not enough people fighting back! Was good to get insider corroboration but sad too for humanity. Finally something I could send to my daughters though.
 
It's back on, so please give it your best for a little while longer :D

After this I am going to Vote up RT. Sadly for them they are dealing with someone who is compulsive by nature. Meaning, I won't ever let go. I have the advantage here.

That was my idea, thinking about it more, it could be pretty risky. Since they got an army of snake suit lawyer and unlimited funds to sue people who defame them. Even if you could technically win it, it will result in a lot of energy being spend that could perhaps be better channeled otherwise.

But I like the idea, because the real fakenews media outlets will hate it. Whenever they are angry, something good must have happened.
 
Just voted a ten of course! :lol:

I think it is fascinating that according to this site's audience demographic sources, the SOTT audience has very high education levels with the majority college educated and many at the graduate level.
And, our audience has a very high maturity level with most over 35. So let me get this straight--SOTT news has a mature, highly educated audience who keeps coming back to read "fake news"? :rolleyes:
