Welcome to Washington Community News!
Our goal is to keep our community better informed about what is REALLY happening in our Community, State and Nation.
Why do we need a different kind of News Website?
Never in our nation's history has there been a greater need for independent news sources than there is today. All of the traditional news sources from newspapers to radio to television have been taken over by wealthy multinational corporations. Our freedom of thought, our freedom of speech and our right to free and equal elections are all at risk due to the lack of honest, independent news. The corporate takeover of our news has also led to a dramatic decline in local news reporting – which in turn has led to a lack of community. It has also led to an inability to learn and share the truth about important issues affecting all of us. Nearly everything we see on TV News and nearly everything we read in corporate newspapers are carefully crafted lies. We are like fish swimming in increasingly polluted waters.
The ocean of lies spun by the corporate media affects not only our health but our very ability to think clearly, to make good decisions and to act for a better future for our children.
Thankfully, the American people are starting to catch on to this scam. Gallup Polls used to show that two out of three people trusted the corporate media to tell the truth. Now, after decades of lying to the public, the majority of the American people no longer trust the corporate media.
It is time for a new kind of independent media – one run not for pursuit of profit but for the pursuit of truth and the sharing of wisdom.
It is time that We the People reclaim control over our own local news! We have therefore created this special community -powered news website. If you are interested in joining our news team of Community News reporters, send me an email: David (at) Community News dot us. We look forward to meeting you!
