Regular commercial TV and radio, for example, promotes commercialism, consumerism, and fear. Having access to "alternative" news sources helps you to debunk corporate dogma. Try some of these out. I particularly recommend AlterNet and the Global Report (which is also a weekly TV news report on Free Speech TV). Another good way to receive unique viewpoints is to peruse news sources from foreign countries. They give different views on world affairs and often report American news not reported in American media.
