    Times is mainstream media… One of the biggest producers of propaganda and using misinformation and fear tactics. They regularly sensationalise news to procure a certain reaction from the public. Fuck off with your BS Times.

      If you had to bet money on the factuality of the reporting mainstream media or alt media on a topic of your choice, which one would you pick?

        None. You gotta read multiple sources and snort an ounce of salt. I don’t use it, but if you don’t wanna manually look it up, check out apps/sites like ground news. It can help gather a bunch of articles from a bunch of sites. It shows the bias, leaning, and factuality. It even has a Blindspot option for sites you don’t usually use. I am not willing to pay lol so I do it manually.

        Al Jazeera is surprisingly decent despite its owner being the Qatari government.
