ANTIWAR

 I think the main reasons these websites like ANTIWAR.com and American Conservative don't get any news coverage, and aren't well known is because these ultimately aren't the news stories that the government and media want the American people to see. A lot of times unpopular opinions or opinions that go against the agenda are swept under the rug, because the media or government doesn't want people to know about it. I think that even those these websites are obscure and hard to find it is important that we have them because it is essential to our democracy that we have dissent, and when sites like these get covered up or thrown under the rug, that prevents that dissent and ultimately prevents democracy and moving forward. This goes back to WWII where actually a lot of Americans didn't want to get involved in the war, but were silenced for voicing that opinion because the government and many others wanted to get involved in the war, and the antiwar stance has predominately been an unpopular opinion. However, that is no reason for their completely valid opinions and arguments to be shut down and be kept almost hidden. Overall I think that the media and government have a big part and role of controlling not just antiwar, but just opinions that they don't agree with and don't wan the American people to see. this is why credible legitimate websites like this end of being hidden, and are outliers, and are often times painted as obscure and absurd. Its important to have these websites and their article and information on them to be known, in order to have dissent and improve democracy.
