    Not all western media is lying. There are a few okay podcasts, the Intercept, the Guardian is okay sometimes. Uhh… I can’t think of any others off the top of my head right now. Pretty much all Western government organizations and individuals related to foreign policy are shit, I’m afraid. Like a couple of Irish politicians and a smattering of minority party people across the EU are the only real exception.

      All media is lying to you a large part of the time. Yet it’s only Western media you seem interested in calling out on it.

      On the other end most media is telling you part of the truth or telling the truth part of the time.

      They called it popular politics when I was in school

        Bruv Western Media is the only media I can read. I’m American. We’re ignorant as shit. If it’s not in English I can’t do anything with it.

          Then learn another language. Change and grow.

          But if Western media is lying and it’s all you can read then how do you know it’s lying?

            They often admit their lies years after the damage has already been done. We mistake this for accountability

              That still leaves you with having no handle on what the truth is today, right now if it’s the only source of truth

                I haven’t consumed any Western corporate media content (that wasn’t being dunked on) in years. I’m still way too aware of what’s going on in the world and wish I knew less, tbh.
