The Week in Media by Lars Jefferson

The week in media is a list of news & links curated by LPO Member Lars Jefferson.

It’s that time of year.  We are all tired, weary and just want to be with family and friends. Unfortunately, the powers that be use this time to dump a lot of stuff in the media while no one is watching. Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, Happy New Year and be ungovernable.

Keep a balanced news diet with Ground News  No one has time to read all the news.  Ground News identifies bias and factuality.  Of course, you still have to do your part and make your own decisions, but Ground News puts it all together. 

Want to see something here that may be of interest to Libertarians? I’m especially interested in local news from ALL AROUND Oregon.  Contact me on Discord or at larsjefferson78@gmail.com
