(More) Launched on September 13, 1996 Disinformation as the search service of choice for individuals looking for information on current affairs, politics, new science and the "hidden information" that seldom seems to slip through the cracks of the corporate-owned media conglomerates. Ironically, it was funded by one of the largest media companies in the world (TeleCommunications, Inc. (TCI), now part of Comcast).The site drew immediate attention and (usually) applause from the very same news media that it was criticizing as being under the influence of both government and big business, but the honeymoon was short. Some three weeks after launch the CEO of TCI learned of Disinformation and immediately ordered it closed down. Needless to say, the founding team managed to keep the site going, and it has evolved into a popular alternative news and underground culture destination with thriving publishing and home video divisions.While many of our projects have been deemed 'liberal' or 'progressive' that doesn't mean we close our minds to ideas that are called 'conservative' - far from it. How can someone be truly well informed with only part of the story? Disinformation has gone through several design and editorial changes since its launch in 1996; its current format is the most important daily news and information links carefully selected from the "noise" that clutters up the web. The site also has a deep archive of opinion and editorial articles featuring original Disinformation interviews and reporting, plus community areas for users to find other users, post their own stories, and chat about the issues presented on the site and other topics of importance to our community. We also welcome your feedback and of course encourage you to load up on Disinformation goodies at http://store.disinfo.com. (Less)
