Let's Talk About Media

Hunter actually had a better resume than I expected. Probably because I watch too much Republican propaganda media.

The real scandal on his resume is George W Bush appointing him at age 35 to the board of Amtrak. A really bad example of the bipartisan backscratching that goes on in Washington.

Candice Owens off the top rope on the NYT

It’s amazing that the left expects people to forget recent history and just join in on the Putin bloodlust.

But this is all coordinated because they needed to wag the dog. Who knows how far they’ve pushed Putin since this illegitimate regime took power.
 
Reminder that the buffoon lectures us about sources while he too fell for every single one of these lies from his trusted hivemind sources

so is there any good media out there? outfits that cover the news without bias or sensationalism?

RT is pretty good.

I'm sorry, what is RT? Reuters?

I just took a look at their website. The top 4 stories are:

1) Erdogan calling for global trading partners to "smash" the U.S. dollar's monopoly

2) The Czech PM blasting EU immigration policy

3) Anti-immigration sentiment gripping Sweden

4) Israeli broadcaster having to apologize for playing Wagner

No agenda there. I am sure those stories deserve to be the top 4 and are only there after a fair evaluation by an unbiased editorial staff. Fair and balanced as they say.

Ah and it looks like an editorial or column titled "McCain's funeral was a disgusting exercise in historical revisionism."

Good to know what passes for "best practices" in journalism among some of the posters around here.

Again, the buffoon who lectures us daily about sources has fallen for every single lie his trusted sources have fed him.

He is a.very good boy
 
Know absolutely nothing about RT or even where to get it but I'd find it difficult to believe that any news agency would get more wrong than MSNBC/CNN/WAPO/NYT has the past six years.

Happy to be proven wrong though.

I haven't followed it lately but always found their global coverage pretty fair... has been a while though
 
Russian newspaper editor and Nobel Peace Prize winner Dmitry Muratov was attacked on a train Thursday, doused with a paint-and-acetone mixture that left his eyes burning, his publication said.

The attack occurred just days after Muratov was forced to suspend Novaya Gazata’s operations until the end of Russia’s war with Ukraine, after receiving a second warning from Russian authorities.

“They poured oil paint with acetone in the compartment. My eyes are burning terribly,” Muratov said in a brief report issued by the independent newspaper.

The editor, who was en route from Moscow to Samara, said the assailant shouted “Muratov, here’s one for our boys” as he threw the paint.

“Oil smell all over the carriage,” Muratov said in the report, which included photos of the mess.

The 60-year-old dean of Russian journalism has spent decades leading Novaya Gazeta, which became known for its pathbreaking investigative coverage.

In recent weeks, punitive new censorship laws in Russia have prompted many journalists to flee the country out of concern they could be arrested for reporting basic facts about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Muratov stayed and continued publishing Novaya Gazeta until March 28, when the paper said it was suspending operations because it had received a second warning from the Russian media regulator.

“Two warnings from Roskomnadzor in a year risks a revocation of our media license,” the paper said.

Sounds like Novaya Gazeta might have been a better option than Russia Today.
