This last Friday, a few hours before he would take a flight back home in Califormia, I have had the honour of interviewing investigative journalist Jon Rappoport on topics focusing on media credibility, economic interests influencing the news, grassroots journalism, blogs, and the future of online news.

Jon Rappoport, is the author and chief editor of Nomorefakenews.com, a unique web site, which nonetheless the unorthodox look and apparent lack of order, contains hundreds of extremely interesting articles on topics ranging from HIV to the Iraq war, economy, alternative energy and more.

Jon Rappoport has a long professional experience worked as a free-lance investigative reporter, which he has been doing for over 20 years while writing articles on politics, health, media, culture and art for many newspapers and magazines including LA Weekly, Spin Magazine, Stern, Village Voice, Nexus, CBS Healthwatch, and several others. Jon has also appeared as a guest on over 200 radio and television programs, including ABC's Nightline, Tony Brown's Journal (PBS), and Hard Copy.

For the last ten years though, Jon has operated largely independently of the mainstream media because, as he puts it, "My research was not friendly to the conventional media."

1) Where is the place to go and find credible news online?

2) What is preventing mainstream media to give us a better and more balanced picture of what is happening around the world?

3) Which are the vested interests that influence media and are most resistant to individual freedom?

4) Should young people trash their TV?

5) How can one discern and understand real news from well deceived propaganda on today’s big media?

6) Do you see blogs and bloggers play an important role into this?

7) What do you see as the future of news?

8) Are we then going to be reality producers and is the individual is going to be the supreme director of all this?

9) What is freedom of choice all about?
