10 Most Influential People in the Alternative Media (2011)

Many readers will expect to see Matt Drudge or Arianna Huffington on this list. Although they both indeed have leading Internet news websites that cover some fringe stories and report on systematic injustices more so than the mainstream media, they primarily aggregate mainline news. Therefore, they are excluded from our "alternative media" label.

The criteria we've chosen to base these rankings of the most influential alternative media figures are the following;

people that have the courage to seek the truth no matter where the information leads them; those with the courage to question 9/11; those who don't buy into the false left-right political paradigm; those who are grounded in peace and liberty; those with the communication skills and platform to affect real change.
