What is Phoenix?
Phoenix is an exciting new opinion website featuring an eclectic group of outcasts who are fed up with being left out in the cold and unheard by the mainstream corporate media. The establishment media doesn't care about the common man and woman. They don't want the truth. They claim they do, but their actions speak louder than their words.
Phoenix itself is split into four distinct categories. Politics deals with the political scene as we see it. Entertainment covers our thoughts about movies, music, books and other forms of entertainment. Lifestyle features articles about the issues affecting the lifestyles of one and all. Our Sports section covers the latest in the wacky world of sports, including professional wrestling, which is often left out in the cold by some sports outlets.
Our front page will be updated daily with the latest material we have to offer. Don't forget to keep checking back periodically throughout the day as we'll update the site with hot news stories as soon as possible when the need arises.

Our opinions are NOT for sale under ANY circumstance.
One of the greatest concerns affecting the mainstream mass media is the increasing influence of money pumped into the system by the special interests.
The current 2016 presidential election cycle has made it abundantly clear that endorsements and opinions are for sale in the corporate-infused mainstream media. They have been bought and sold, beholden to the special interests. Thus, the need for an honest media source that is dedicated to the truth. Here at Phoenix, our opinions are NOT for sale. We cannot be bought, no matter how much money or how many perks are waved in front of our noses. What we write is what we genuinely believe in. You may not agree with our opinions, but you can rest assured that Phoenix consists of honest thoughts incorruptible by money and power. |

Why the name Phoenix?

According to Greek mythology, a phoenix is an entity that is reborn from the ashes of life. Some traditional texts proclaim that the phoenix lives for 1400 years before a rebirth. Many historical texts also refer to the phoenix as a symbol of rebirth and revival after a long fallow period or a personal tragedy.
When I decided to get serious about starting a website of my own, coming up with the right name was a challenge. I wanted something powerful and personally symbolic. One day, I thought back upon my own life. I have always had the knack of rising from the ashes of any flames life has thrown my way. This made me recall the legend of the phoenix. When I mentioned this to a good friend and fellow contributor, we finally had the perfect title for this site. So now that you know what Phoenix stands for, take a look at some of what we have to offer. We hope you dig right in and enjoy it as much as we have in bringing it to you, dear readers. |
