If anyone still thinks Western mainstream media tells the truth after the recent Palestine coverage, there’s no helping them.
Fr ive been side-eyeing western media for a minute now but the Palestine/Israel reporting sealed the deal
i think they tell the truth. they told me so.
To be fair, i’ve never heard of half of these outlets.
I think I know all of these apart from the Arabic one (which is hard for me to look up since I don’t know Arabic)
(Top, “made up nonsense”)
- CGTN is China Global Television Network and is an international outlet ran by the Chinese government
- Telesur seems slightly more complicated than the rest, in that it’s owned in part by 3 different Latin American governments (Venezuela, Nicaragua and Cuba), though it’s headquartered in Venezuela. I actually often watch/listen to Telesur because it streams 24/7 on Youtube and I’ve been trying to teach myself Spanish (obviously it’s also available in English). It’s very anti-US.
- RT is Russia Today and is probably the most hated news channel in the west, since it’s ran by Russia. A lot of major online platforms have banned or censored it for “misinformation”
(Bottom, “so true”)
- NPR is (US) National Public Radio, funded partly by the US government but also by some limited advertising. NPR seems to have the best reputation among US liberals out of all these stations
- VoA (Voice of America) and RFA (Radio Free Asia) can kinda be lumped together. They were both made and ran by the US gov to broadcast pro-US/anti-communist propaganda internationally, and have never really deviated from that. I don’t know how many people unironically take them seriously, considering there are other outlets with similar perspectives that aren’t such blatant propaganda
- BBC (British Broadcasting Company) News is the UK government state news… a lot of genocide denial from them recently
I spent longer than I thought I would typing this, but I hope somebody cares and tells me what the Arabic one is (or just corrects/adds anything else I missed out or got wrong)… Hope it was interesting/helpful though.
As an American, what the hell is “Voice of America”?
Okay, so this is an honest question. Why do you think that way? I’ve seen your post where you compared NATO to the third Reich. Why do you like Russia and Iran? And why do you dislike NATO the EU or the west?
Not speaking for OP, but in general:
-
NATO and Nazis - NATO is the millitant organization of the world’s imperialist countries (more on imperialism later). NATO also has a deep history of having former Nazis as leaders. Ultimately, NATO serves and protects the worlds imperialist bourgeoisie.
-
Russia and Iran - Both Russia and Iran oppose western imperialism. Both are flawed, but by existential circumstance work against the greatest plunderers in the world, and their path to fixing internal issues would be severely set back if the west succeeded in destroying them.
-
Opposing western imperialism - the “west,” global north, etc are imperialist. In short, through massive financial capital and a dying capitalist system, these countries export capital and use it to plunder the global south. Whenever a country opposes this system, they get sanctioned, couped, invaded, genocided, bombed, etc. Imperialism is the highest, most developed stage of capitalism, and is what keeps the global south underdeveloped and destroys their autonomy. The biggest obstacle to socialism is imperialism.
That’s a quick, general overview.

NATO members actions speak for itself; particularly w its founding members.
Do you somehow not believe that fostering political violence and capturing wealth extraction is not a bad thing?
