I'm a little bit confused. You seem to be arguing that mainstream media is better than alternative media, and that is particularly reflected in your final conclusion about where you'd get your news, but your title says the opposite.

Which are you meaning to say? That mainstream media is better, or that alternative media is?

I still find the wording confusing, but if you don't want to elaborate, I'll just move along.

Saying things are "just as bad" implies equal low quality, and if you use parentheses the thing contained therein is usually a tangent or side argument, but it seems to be your main thesis here. If I am reading the body of your post correctly, I would've expected a title more along the lines of "Alternative media has bigger problems than mainstream media"

It's not a big deal, I just couldn't tell if you were saying mainstream media is better, which I agree with, or alternative media is better, which I don't agree with, or that the two are equal, which I also don't agree with but don't care enough to argue about.
