Also assuming you're not just a troll with this comment...

You're posting links to this website "vigilantnews.com". Have you looked into who is behind it? According to their about section, it's made up two people. One simply called "The Vigilant Fox" and another named Dallas Ludlum. (https://vigilantnews.com/about)

The latter, Dallas, runs a blog dressed up as a newspaper with clearly a hard right take on politics here: https://conservativecompass.substack.com. He's also quite active on Quora for giving job seeking and career advice: https://www.quora.com/profile/Dallas-Ludlum.

More interestingly, from a reverse image search, this person's headshot also shows up on an eastern European photographer's website here: https://sebastianszulfer.com/en/services/headshots-portraits/. Yet Dallas claims to be on the east coast of the US on his Twitter account. Traveling to Europe just for a photo is quite the trek.

At best, the sources you're listing are simply one or maybe two person's opinions dressed up as a newspaper in order to generate pageviews and thus ad revenue. At worst, between the anonymous "Vigilant Fox" persona and the fake headshot profile photos, it's likely this is part of a larger fake information dissemination campaign.

Is that "challenging the narrative" enough for you?
