Hi! I was browsing an anarchist news site, I think it was anarchistnews.org, and I came across a term I've never heard of, describing alternative/independent media. It was like Counterinformation, or countermedia, something like that. Basically news that very underground and not mainstream. Does anybody know the term I'm thinking of?

I like the sound of tendentious milieu, it has a pleasing cadence.

I dont have the name but I am also seeing a form of journalism which is fast and moving. Stuff that may get taken down so it hosted for a short time then moved and shared.
It’s an interesting time.

Are you perhaps thinking of Counterculture?

propaganda
The only difference between that and "main stream" media is that it agrees with your point of view, but in reality everything is propaganda made to make you think one way or another.

They asked for help remembering a new word and you decided to promote a viewpoint instead. Was that irony or just grumpiness?
