They were founded by Chinese dissidents. That’s why they hate China so much. They have valid reasons to feel and think that way, and anything that benefits China benefits the CCP.
Ok. The CCP is a Genocidal, Mass Murdering State. And they control all communications, manufacturing and the private lives (for the most part) in China. Is that better?
Or are you a shill for a Genocidal, Mass Murdering State?
I never subscribed because everything I came across seemed simply to bash China. It’s not that i think we are or should be allies with the CCP, but bias diminishes credibility. I’m still hunting for a news source. But I thought the neocons were the ones supporting China and the multipolar new world order. Biden always seems to give China a pass.
I agree with you on Epoch Times. There are perfectly logical, practical reasons to despise communists, and yet I’ve seen little if any CCP-directed venom in ET of the kind American progressives spew on America and Americans. Regardless of inevitable editorial slant, any media outlet that allows public comments on content is on the right path.
No. It isn’t. China is 1.4 Billion hard working good people (for the most part). Xi Jin Ping and his cronies took control of it. They had a reasonably good system Xi broke.
How many illegal territorial wars has China been involved in in, say, the last 50 years? And the US? You're missing the point. I am not a fan of the CCP either and there is plenty to criticize, but hatred of a country is counter-productive because it closes dialogue and communications. And in the case of a publication, it introduces an unnecessary bias where there should be impartiality and balance. This lack of impartiality calls into question the entire content and this is what turns me personally away from ET.
OK Steve so why don't we do this. Post any link to ET which reports anything positive about China. I'm sure that in any publication which is fair and balanced, that shouldn't be too difficult to find?
I'm asking you to support your undocumented claim that "ET does not hate China". Just one link to a positive reference to anything about China in ET is all I asked for which, as I said, in any 'fair and balanced" publication, shouldn't be too hard to find?
Well then, SURELY, they can find some positive aspects of China to review? Most of my American friends hate their Government but, rightly, remain entirely positive about their country.
And the fact is, China, like it or not, is a major and growing force in the world and needs to be understood and engaged if this century is to be a success. Just disparaging China, instead of promoting a balanced understanding, doesn't help in any way.
I'm not proposing sugar-coating the problems with the CCP in any way, all I'm saying is that there is a need for impartial, balanced coverage, which ET doesn't provide. Fortunately, there are many other sources of more balanced information about China.
You may not have heard anyone at ET state "I hate China" directly, but that's hardly the point. Have you ever heard anyone at ET ever say anything POSITIVE about China? That would be more to the point?
And beyond the US, Europe and Australasia, China is widely accepted as the preferred trading partner because it enters into win/win trading arrangements without any political strings attached and no threats of sanctions should the relationship sour.
Since you come from the antipodes, I'm also very surprised that Australia should have chosen to take every opportunity to attack China, it's largest trading partner, publicly instead of pursuing quiet diplomacy to air disagreements. As an Asia-Pacific nation, I would have thought that Australai should have a better understanding of Asian culture and the Asian way of doing things. "Face" is very important in asia and these overt attacks on China have only damaged relations. Then, remarkably, Australia expresses "surprise" that China would seek alternative sources for agricultural commodities etc. Does that make any sense?
I'm not making judgements and I'm not stating preferences, I just try to keep an open mind on everything and whilst I have no liking for the Chinese CCP or system, the world is changing like it or not and we need to remain engaged. I'm just saying that in geopolitical terms, and present realities, there ARE different perspectives which ET should represent if it wishes to be taken seriously as an impartial news alternative to MSM.
Incidentally, I would also like to acknowledge that ET has done sone truly excellent work on Covid. I'm unvaccinated and an active member of the Medical Freedom Movement, which ET clearly supports. I would be happy to support them but the China hatred sticks in my throat given global realities.
Neither do I, but I want my information to be impartial and unbiased, otherwise the Right of Center media become just the same as the Left of center media but with different ideology. BIG difference.
Thanks for your reporting Doc. I made the transition to sanity from the depths of Democrat liberalism just a short while out of college. I often wonder how I acquired that knowledge at such a young age. I still have what are considered classic liberal beliefs, I thought the ACLU in its early days was on point by supporting the Nazi March in Skokie for example and still do. Although, many of those classic liberal beliefs are now Conservative beliefs. The Democrats are basically Marxists today.
Los Angeles Times Executive Editor Kevin Merida announced Tuesday that he was stepping down 2½ years after joining The Times as its newsroom leader with a mission to strengthen the organization during a period of turbulence in the news industry.
Merida’s exit, effective Friday, presents another challenge to a newsroom already under strain as well as to the paper’s owner, Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong, who now must find a new top editor.
The Times has fallen well short of its digital subscriber goals and needs a revenue boost to sustain the operation.
I see articles and opinion pieces from LAT from time to time. If you think WaPo and NYT are lefty, LAT leaves 'em in the dust. They make Karl Marx look like Rush Limbaugh.
I'm guessing Kevin Merida has taken a wrecking ball to the paper, and has figured he can to no more damage. Or he's been told to pack his bags, and spend more time with his family.
I can actually say I can’t think of any media outlet that I trust to be objective…. Ever. I stopped watching Hannity many years ago because he couldn’t be trusted to be fair in his reporting. No one on any of the major media or CNN can be trusted. Fox and “Off The Press” have become Trump haters that clouds what they report. The closest for truthful reporting I think are Tucker, Charyl Attkinsson, John Solomon, Kash Patel, and Sara Carter, with Citizens Free Press at least not totally right wing in that they do link to Mediate and other left wing sites.
Amazon Stock has a PE ratio of 79 and does not pay a dividend. $100 million a year to control the narrative so people don't find out your stock is severely overpriced which allows you to maintain your $200 billion fortune is worth it. You also get to control personal and political narratives. This is a huge win for Bezos as it might be worth losing a couple billion a year before he even thinks about changing.
And real, true greed it is. I've read more than one story about how he refused to donate to charities. I guess he did finally, a few years ago, donate to one or some, because of pressure from the public.
I totally do not understand how you can blatantly refuse to give to ANY charities when you have BILLIONS of dollars. BILLIONS!
WaPo is a loss leader for Bezos. $100 mil a year loss is chump change (and a tax write off) and vastly offset by the benefits of tooting the various horns of the surveillance State:
Sorry, but whenever someone makes the “tax write off” argument I am compelled to make the argument that a tax write off still represents a loss of value depending on the tax rate. For example, a $100M tax write off requires a $100M expenditure. If you just paid the taxes on the $100M then you put $50M or more extra in your pocket. Where is the benefit?
Only way it works is if you make a donation of an asset and significantly overstate its value by more that it’s really worth but then you open yourself up to the taxes and fines for fraud.
I guess democracy dies in darkness...or something like that. It's not even good for birdcage liner or to wipe your butt. Pure propaganda with a splash of truth to make it seem legit.
Democracy did die in darkness, when the Post turned off the light that is supposed to shine the light on lies. Now they are stumbling through the darkness of their own doing.
Considering the Post is a left leaning propaganda rag just like 90% of all the papers out there, this is just the beginning of the end of printed newspapers!
Some have been saying it's the beginning of the end of printed newspapers for years. I've never subscribed to a newspaper, but seems the Sundays with the for sale ads were delivered anyway for some time. A couple of years ago I did subscribe to Epoch Times and my stack of news print is about 5' now. I've never read one - love their online.
“Democracy ends in darkness” is not a warning. It’s a threat that WAPO has almost fulfilled. Plenty of lies and darkness there. Unfortunately, it appears to be working since WAPO is helping Biden to end democracy.
Do you think even with Trump winning in 2024 that the WP can recover? I have my doubts. They were so bad that even some unhinged lefties are doing WTF on the WP's stories.
It's a possibility but what if they put Biden in to let everything go to hell and then let Trump back in so they can blame him for four years? Good cop, bad cop routine?
Lots of possibilities but yea fraud is rampant in most US elections. Maybe the republicans will cheat better this time? LOL.
Nice. Couldn't happen to a nicer organization. Looking forward to Epoch Times soon moving up to third largest newspaper in USA.
Unfortunately, Epoch Times is not even top 10 in America. But excellent paper. Should be no. 1.
Except their ridiculous hatred of (not just biased against) anything China spoils ET for me and gives it the aroma of a Neocon/Establsihment tool.
They were founded by Chinese dissidents. That’s why they hate China so much. They have valid reasons to feel and think that way, and anything that benefits China benefits the CCP.
Epoch Times needs to realize that what had happened to them in China had been orchestrated by the "same group of people" controlling our Nation.
Ok. The CCP is a Genocidal, Mass Murdering State. And they control all communications, manufacturing and the private lives (for the most part) in China. Is that better?
Or are you a shill for a Genocidal, Mass Murdering State?
I never subscribed because everything I came across seemed simply to bash China. It’s not that i think we are or should be allies with the CCP, but bias diminishes credibility. I’m still hunting for a news source. But I thought the neocons were the ones supporting China and the multipolar new world order. Biden always seems to give China a pass.
Kim, Here's a new source that doesn't take sides, stays out of the politics, but tells it like it really is: https://rumble.com/v44ycto-03-jan-24-news.html (The real news starts after the Field Messenger Report at about 20 minute mark followed by World Situation Report): https://rumble.com/v44ycto-03-jan-24-news.html
ET appears to have no objectivity. The suspension of disbelief in re the historical accuracy of the Christian Bible is troubling.
Their reporting on Canada, nothing to do with China, is better than anything else in Canada.
I agree with you on Epoch Times. There are perfectly logical, practical reasons to despise communists, and yet I’ve seen little if any CCP-directed venom in ET of the kind American progressives spew on America and Americans.

They don’t hate China, any more than that traveling dance show hates China. They’re Chinese.
OK Steve so why don't we do this. Post any link to ET which reports anything positive about China. I'm sure that in any publication which is fair and balanced, that shouldn't be too difficult to find?

They never suggest hatred of China. They’re Chinese. They don’t like the gang of thieves currently holding China hostage. BIG difference.
Neither do I, but I want my information to be impartial and unbiased, otherwise the Right of Center media become just the same as the Left of center media but with different ideology. BIG difference.

Greatest real estate magnate of all time. Lives in millions of heads rent free. Props up failing propaganda rags and the reeesistance.
The MSM desperately wants him back.
https://www.euphoricrecall.net/p/how-trump-both-saved-and-changed-35d
Your TDS is a powerful disease, apparently.
Conflation, the tool of the lying moron. 😂
Trump being in the news =/= "living in your head". That's lame conflation and deflection.
Maybe they should try hiring some journalists?
Their readers don’t want journalism.
How about JUST the facts and let ME decide
I am tired of having it rammed down my throat with THEIR
narrative ONLY as to what I should think or not think
One good example is the ongoing war between Israel and HAMAS
Palestinians overwhelmingly voted for HAMAS
THEY began the bloodbath on Oct 7 but somehow the handwringing MSM and those who push THEIR agenda have entirely forgotten
Nope, they want made up gossip. 😖🙄
They want articles that conform to their worldview.
Like I said.....made up gossip.
Their Globalist owner desperately doesn't want journalism.
Not their current crop of readers. But maybe they could try getting some real journalists and see if the previous subscribers might try again.
No, their readers want a ‘National Enquirer’ format.
They never had journalists… they had left wing biased reporters who are now so far left they don’t even try to hide their bias.
There aren't any left.
Go woke go broke. It’s very simple folks. Telling lies never ends well.
DECADES of making it up as they go along
I think people don’t think they’re telling lies. I think it’s a matter of perception.
All their reporting of Russian collusion by Trump. All lies. 150 dedicated FBI agents working for three years. They found nothing.
From today’s Los Angeles Times:

May they all rot in hell.
Because of the role they played in bankrupting America during lockdown, I hope the journos wind up homeless and hungry too.
I see articles and opinion pieces from LAT from time to time. If you think WaPo and NYT are lefty, LAT leaves 'em in the dust. They make Karl Marx look like Rush Limbaugh.
I'm guessing Kevin Merida has taken a wrecking ball to the paper, and has figured he can to no more damage. Or he's been told to pack his bags, and spend more time with his family.
A blast from the past. Have a good laugh ans let's all sincerely pray that The Donald gets the last laugh!
https://www.bitchute.com/video/UjCErpAcFJn1/
"May they all rot in hell."
Let's just hope for divine justice (and leave the punishment up to Him).
Another newspaper I will not pay for. And I miss the old LA Times.
I hope they can link their editorial policy with their revenues. But I will not hold my breath.
I can actually say I can’t think of any media outlet that I trust to be objective…. Ever. I stopped watching Hannity many years ago because he couldn’t be trusted to be fair in his reporting. No one on any of the major media or CNN can be trusted. Fox and “Off The Press” have become Trump haters that clouds what they report.

The mainstream newswhores have NEVER been on your side.
https://www.freekentucky.com/
They're not supposed to be on a side.
But they are. And it ain't your side.
So true.
THIS makes my day much better
I stopped subscribing to anything they covered when I served throughout the Vietnam war and my father, a retired 30 year
USN/MSC was serving as an adviser in I Corps
Since then NOTHING has changed
In '20 when they rolled out the virus followed by the jab
the Post frothing gleefully covered it all disparaging, as did the rest of 'media'
those who rejected based on REPUTABLE physicians, virologists, and epidemiologists
Now the chickens have come home to roost but the Post, and other bilge like it, continue
the lies.
A pox on them and the ugly nag it has ridden for decades
The chickens won't roost until we hang them. But we have NO MEN here.
https://www.freekentucky.com/
emasculated males (feminists are delighted though ;-). . .)
God help us if we are ever in need of defending outside from outside assault or how about
from the hordes entering our country via the southern border, most military age men
Exactly!!! Truth!

You also get to control personal and political narratives. This is a huge win for Bezos as it might be worth losing a couple billion a year before he even thinks about changing.
It will NEVER be enough for Bezos and others like him
I will not buy on Amazon. If I cannot go directly to the vendor I don't buy the product
I will NOT add to his insatiable GREED
And real, true greed it is. I've read more than one story about how he refused to donate to charities. I guess he did finally, a few years ago, donate to one or some, because of pressure from the public.
I totally do not understand how you can blatantly refuse to give to ANY charities when you have BILLIONS of dollars. BILLIONS!
GREED & NARCISSISM
Very true!
WaPo is a loss leader for Bezos. $100 mil a year loss is chump change (and a tax write off) and vastly offset by the benefits of tooting the various horns of the surveillance State:
NSA Awards Secret $10 Billion Contract to Amazon

But he's in it for the "journalism". Really.
Sorry, but whenever someone makes the “tax write off” argument I am compelled to make the argument that a tax write off still represents a loss of value depending on the tax rate.

This
It's as trustworthy as the FDA. And everyone now knows it.
Why save WAPO???? Let it crash.
Give me ONE reason
just ONE
That's what I was wondering. One less rag, one way or another, so what?
I guess democracy dies in darkness...or something like that. It's not even good for birdcage liner or to wipe your butt. Pure propaganda with a splash of truth to make it seem legit.
Democracy did die in darkness, when the Post turned off the light that is supposed to shine the light on lies. Now they are stumbling through the darkness of their own doing.
Democracy needs to die. This is supposed to be a representative republic.

I thought the WP was the pits until I came across The Atlantic.
Readers of The Atlantic pick up the WaPo when they need a break.
NOTHING that those scum suckers won't cover with their own take on it
The Atlantic is Progressive, Antisemitic, Whale Dung at the Bottom of the Mariana Trench,morally.
You got that right!!!!!!

When you call communists 'left,', 'liberal' and 'progressive' you're helping them hide their evil from the ignorant and the desperate.
