Not even Reuters or AP?
Didn't even know they had TV broadcasts.

France 24 is making MSNBC look like Newsmax. :lol: The white anchors been interviewing serious black power advocates in DC... definitely entertaining. One dude, Kymone Freeman a co-founder of We Act Radio in Anacostia (one of DC's roughest hoods), was offended by the term "minorities". He went off about the decline of the American empire and the need for reparations. Molotovs thrown!

It's almost impossible to find a non-biased british news station in the UK. There is a growing movement to defund the BBC for their increasing 'left leaning' coverage, for a service that's meant to be impartial. Many people over here resonate with the idea that they dont reflect the views of the majority and instead represents the views of leftist city elites (who typically work in the BBC).
Having said that, a new right-leaning fox news type channel is coming this year in the hopes of poaching their viewers, but I'd rather they create a totally impartial non-opinionated channel that just states the facts objectively, like the examples mentioned above (I.e. DW, RT e.t.c) .

Nice to see everyone out on social media today, saying "fuck you" to the 75 million or whatever "human excrement" Trump voters.

It's not about healing, it's about heeling.

The BBC left-leaning and run by “leftist” city elites (bit of an oxymoron) lol? Their new chairman is literally a neolib Tory donor who directed a right-wing think tank.
man, everything is a leftist leaning thing now. The cool thing is to talk shit on universities and higher education for being left think tanks that churn out libs

He took up that position only a couple of months ago. He even admittingly said himself that the BBC was too left wing, lol.
From promising to spend £100 million of taxpayers money on 'diversity initiatives', threatening to tone down the proms for its 'glorification of colonialism/nationalism', as well its overtly left wing comedy shows and subtly left leaning opinionated news, it's pretty obvious to most people living in the UK. Not sure the americans here would understand.

Trump bombed the shit out of all these countries. He withdrew ground troops, and deserves credit for that, as well as not starting any new wars, but bombing ramped way the heck up during the trump admin from Obama years. So no need to misrepresent like bombing somehow stopped the past 4 years when it actually increased. It helped allow him to withdraw ground troops, but he still increased the rates significantly.

Not to mention civilian deaths in Middle East skyrocketing during Trump admin. Which given the nature of the wars I’m not sure I think is necessarily something his admin should be take all the blame for.

Anyways, this is a good article on the geopolitics of it, and how difficult it is to stop or change

The thing is these defund BBC types don't really want factual reporting, they want news tailored for them. If they really wanted factual reporting they would understand that some news will make you feel uncomfortable. However they don't want to feel uncomfortable and thus they only want to read news that feed into their view of the world.
