It is my policy to ignore basically anything that the new york times or the guardian or any other major western news outlet says about China, Cuba, Venezuela, etc. These media corporations are incapable of unbiased reporting on these topics and serve merely as mouthpieces for western capitalist-imperialist powers, whether corporate or governmental.
This should be your policy also.
@pants hmm. Not really, between profit motive and inherent bias.
Democracy Now! on youtube does good reporting sometimes but their videos tend to run long, and they’re pretty us-centered.
Sometimes I’ll scan through the headlines at Al Jazeera or South China Morning Press, but with a critical eye. Depends on the topic.
Whenever possible, I want to hear directly from a reporter or even just a resident about conditions on the ground.
