Alternative Media Rankings Surge After bin Laden Assassination Spectacle

They call it your regularly scheduled programming because they are programming your thoughts, ideals, morals, and ethics.

Anyone with a slightly active brain can see the osama thing is a farce. If you go to fox or cnn or msnbc for news you are being lied too. Simple as that.

Alternative Media Rankings Surge After bin Laden Assassination Spectacle

http://www.activistpost.com/2011/05/alternative-media-rankings-surge-after.html

A story like the assassination of "public enemy #1" is naturally going to drive people toward all news sources. However, we in the alternative news media have been particularly busy since the announcement late Sunday night, as indicated by Alexa website rankings.

For those of us covering the government and mainstream media lies, distortions, and pure propaganda, it has been nearly overwhelming to attend to every facet of this professional wrestling-style spectacle. As a result, traffic to alternative news sites has surged dramatically. This is very encouraging, as it indicates that people are not immediately rushing only to the comfort and security of the official story, which is largely framed by appeals to emotion -- rather, people appear to be hungry for facts. Given that alternative media generally does not have even a fraction of the budget of corporate media, the ranking increases are doubly satisfying. We are honored to be included with the true news sources below as a reliable indicator of the search for truth and justice amid the miasma of the current official coverage of the bin Laden Assassination Show being peddled for obviously corporate and political reasons.

Alternative News 7-day change according to Alexa; listed in order of overall ranking:

Drudge Report -- Rank: 329 Change: 88
Infowars -- Rank: 1,221 Change: 68
Prison Planet -- Rank: 2,589 Change: 2,324
Rense -- Rank: 4,916 Change: down 69

What Really Happened -- Rank: 4,179 Change: 11,215 Special hat tip to Mike Rivero who suffered a hack that effectively shut down his site just as the announcement came in. He bounced back stronger than ever with the highest increase that we could find.
Activist Post -- Rank: 15,270 Change: 6,336
The Intel Hub -- Rank: 34,894 Change: 2,233
Reality Zone -- Rank: 79,699 Change: 12,878
