So the problem I have is, by your rubric, would posting CNN be considered a good source? Like if we applied the scrutiny of association and not the quality of the article, does your post count?

You asked me to find a source

CNN, to me, is as reliable as The Epoch Times

The article in itself doesn’t matter in this scenario but it shows that the information was out there way before

I asked to find a source that fits the rubric you want for the epoch times.

Cause if we are using associations and not the work as a rubric, then what exactly are we left with. I don't mind CNN when they get it right. Same should go for all publications.

@ToxicTransgender if you had to look up a source for the events of Tiannamen Square, what would you use? I always find new sources articles about past events to be interesting litmus test for how diligent their work is.

I could use anything to look for Tiananmen Square but it’s accuracy I couldn’t necessarily judge since I’m not too well learned on that subject

https://www.history.com/topics/china/tiananmen-square
This is a rundown of the massacre at Tiannamen Square.

History.com is a website that just reports on historical events. If you had to get a rundown of events from a news company, who would you use as a source.

You’re gonna hate me for this

Probably CBC

(Canadian BBC)

I don't hate people, too much wasted energy. So you would use CBC to get information about the Tiannamen Square Massacre? Does the CBC meet your association requirements that you place on the Epoch Times?

CBC has been proven to be trustworthy and accurate many many a times

It’s one of the best news organizations in the country

And I trust their information in most cases

Wait, so its a different rubric for the CBC?

(I don’t like to look at opinion pieces)

You can go look that up

But I would consider the CBC to be very trustworthy

So you judge by the articles and not who invest/runs it?

State run media rarely gets praise here. But I guess there is a first for everything.

I trust it because it’s backers aren’t tyrants or cultists

I’m not too fond of our government but I still trust some information they put out there

"So the evidence from the research is clear. The BBC tends to reproduce a Conservative, Eurosceptic, pro-business version of the world, not a left-wing, anti-business agenda.
>>>>>>>>>>>
among other things, what is hliarious about this article is that most bbc followers are quite of the opposite specturm... imho

Is you a dumb

CBC not BBC

Also

I’m not surprised

same difference

It really isn’t

Apples to oranges

Is ABC the same too?

Obviously not

all singing from the same hymnal

How?

Different funding, different founders, different writers, different values, different nations, different continent, different audience

lol

So @ToxicTransgender the CBC board of directors are highly involved in media as board members or direct owners (ex: Edward W. Boyd and Michael Goldblume). Essentially there isn't competing media companies, since they all run the direction of state media. I think this would fall into that issue you were talking about.
