Besides censorship and platform centralization, the deep state's penetration of the internet from around 2009 onward lead to an explosion in sites masquerading as alternative media but heavy on the same kinds of emotionally charged left/right paradigm talking points the mainstream media has always been known for.

In this thread, post your favorite classic alternative media sources, sites you've relied on since the internet's best days for bona fide independent journalism. (Sites that first appeared in the last decade are often suspect, but legitimate examples still exist and are welcomed as honorable mentions.)
