Long Island Life & Politics was created over the last couple of years to provide an alternative for readers who are tired of getting only one side of the story.
The mainstream media has lost trust with the American people because it professes to be straight news when in fact, it’s clearly slanted by the ideological proclivities of its management elite and staff.
Our newspaper is committed to giving you the other side of the story.
We provide straight news, but also opinion pieces from our editorial board and from members of the public who would otherwise get shut out from the mainstream corporate media.
If you agree that an alternative perspective is essential for a thriving democracy, we ask for you to consider helping our alternative outlet thrive by subscribing to our paper or providing a small donation.
