Since when have you got your news from the BBC? Quelle surprise! The media is a broad term. Does The New York Post, which is also part of the media suck? Does this mean that I stop following it? Which, if any media do you recommend as being trustworthy? What about social media where most of what is posted on it is opinion and not supported with facts.
I don't get my news from the BBC. But many overseas do. So when they blatantly misrepresent our President to the global community, it's a huge problem. Do you not see that?
I do not believe the NYPost sucks. I have yet to see them post blatant lies. In fact their editorial board frequently calls out the current admin when they disagree. I do read the Post mostly for NY Sports, however.
As for social media, you have to follow links, read, research, etc.......or just be like funk and pass it along whether it's correct or not.
This is what I follow in addition to the post (taken from another thread):
I'm plenty critical of Trump, and I don't like everything he does or says. I've just consistently said there's more fake news around him, and he's been attacked more than any politician I've ever seen (literally and figuratively).
And, as I've said from the get-go, I knew after Oct 7 that this was the final straw for Israel, and I knew the end results were going to be catastrophic and horrific. I said they'd even go into Qatar without permission, many disagreed, but it happened. They will not stop.
And I have no doubt Trump wants this to end, but the world stage is complicated.
But if you want independent sources I read or will listen to:
Michael Shellenberger
Matt Taibbi
Glenn Greenwald
PBD Podcast
Dave Smith
Shawn Ryan
Coleman Hughes
Joe Rogan (occasionally, depending on guest)
Ben Shapiro
Tim Dillon
Mike Benz
On twitter, other than the above, @vigilantfox, @TheChiefNerd, @ColionNoir, @BretWeinstein, @martyrmade, @zubymusic, to name a few
And, on Israel, some of these guys disagree with each other vehemently. Smith / Hughes just did a debate, if you're interested.
Those are where I feel I can get a fair shake, as sources are given, and I can cross reference if something seems shady or off.
What I cannot trust: CNN / MSNBC / WaPO / NYT / ABC / NBC / HuffPo / The Atlantic / Time etc.....and there's more. I'm not alone, as polls have shown confidence in the national media is at an all time low. And it's all their fault.
