We live in a fake world, isn’t it Dr Scott Thompson? Yahoo!!

While some fat guy is making loads of money going to some seemingly remote location to gorge himself on pig penis for the Travel Channel, there is a legion of travelers out there documenting our times without much regard for advertiser interests, corporate regulations, or even reader expectations and the status-quo. These people are the chroniclers of our times.

The works of corporate journalists and the propaganda of NGOs act as subterfuge over many people’s perception of the world they live in. The groups that are providing the images of the world that get stuck in our collective psyches have special interests and ulterior motives for doing so. Newspapers, magazines, and NGOs are businesses, and they are going to report on the world appropriate to their ends.

An independent online travel writer has more lee way to write what they, themselves, observe.
