      Yep that’s a good start, and cherry picking your sources to get crumbs of information too.

      RT is super unreliable but they consistently share facts that western media omits. Al Jazeera also have great nuggets of info.

      What you call reliable is in the eye of the beholder though. Biasing thoughts by omission happens very often and is very effective. The way to check it out is in whatever field you’re a specialist, check how many factually correct but misleading articles are.

      Also an example: Unemployment is high: one group says immigration is high. Other says economy is slow. What’s the average? Or inflation is high, and the solution is austerity. Then they claim wages have to be kept low, although it’s shown that wages effect is shortening profits, not hurting economy. What’s the average?

      While the truth is that governments were printing money like crazy during COVID , and people in fragile circumstances have to suffer increased unemployment, lower wages and inflation, while capitalists have profits higher than ever.

      But you’ll never find admission of guilt by unresponsible money printing on the media. So there’s no average in the right direction here.

      The revolution won’t be televised
