Nowadays all that's on the news are talks about war. Wether it's War against Russia, Ukraines fight against Russia, or even potential feuds going on right now that could be detrimental for our countries future. All of this war talk, but no anti-war discussions. Besides being given two different sites that support anti-war views I was not even aware these sites existed. These sites are read by libertarians, pacifists, leftists, "greens" and independents alike. AntiWar.com is devoted to the cause of non-interventionism and reveal the truth, getting past social media filters. Many channels of mainstream views lack the ability to give the people news that could impact their views or even their vote when it is election time. Even though some news sources are biased, is it right to not let the public know about news that is very important?
It is a possibility that we do not see this content because they want to make us believe that war is the only option. Wars are able to bring economic growth, technological advancements, and victory. Some benefits are greater law and order, more democracy, social benefits, or advances in medicine and science. You see these "benefits", but seems like half of them benefit the government and higher power...
Is this mainstream media really reliable news? The biased news we see on TV tends to make means more dramatic. In this day and age people will believe anything they see. They are sheep and they are naive. People will follow a herd with no evidence of what they are even following to be true. Everyday false news is spread on social media to make a headline, to cause drama, to stir up the pot. Websites like Anti-War and The American Conservative provide the other side of the story, or the side you do not even see. The government censors the anti-war stories because they love war. They do not want a bad image so they do not discuss these anti-war sites or discussions. One day these voices will be heard and the truth will be shown.
