> What do you make of the remark that people like Corbett are just "controlled opposition" ... whoever is saying that belongs on your 'this guy is full of shit' list Corbett is as independent as you can possibly get and he's an ethical, intelligent, capable, thorough, and likable researcher who cites the resources he uses for literally everything he writes and documentaries he produces - he runs entirely on donations, uses no advertising and publishes all his work for free - he is one of the very best out there and so is Whitney Webb of Unlimited Hangout Ryan Dawson of ANC Report can be really annoying, but he is also an excellent researcher and, for a fairly young man, extremely knowledgeable about a variety of subjects, especially politics, U.S. foreign policy, Israel and history - Ryan has been featured on at least several more mainstream outlets including Al Jazeera, RT, and U.S. media i've been collecting, watching and vetting sources of information and news for nearly 20 years and i think i've become fairly adept at identifying bullshit and these 3 people are at the top of my list of unquestionable resources, not that they always get the story right, no one does, but they are all ethical, independent, capable researchers who are not compromised by financial ties if you haven't seen Corbett's [documentaries about big oil](https://www.corbettreport.com/bigoil/), i would *highly* suggest them - they are perhaps the pinnacle of his work thus far... > Oil. The 19th century was transformed by it. The 20th century was shaped by it. And the 21st century is moving beyond it. But who gave birth to the oil industry? What have they done with the immense wealth and power that it has granted them? And what are they planning to do with that power in a post-carbon world? This is the remarkable true story of the oiligarchs and the world they have created.
