I second you on both of those. Also America Uncovered by the China Uncensored dude and Joshua Phillip (he's from Epoch). Syxxhexxenhammer (not sure if I spelled that right) is another favorite who is with the truth.

I'm sure the Epoch Times has a lot of readers in HK, but it was actually started in America by Mainland Chinese-American Falun Gong practitioners.

https://help.theepochtimes.com/hc/en-us/articles/360050464891-What-is-the-Relationship-between-The-Epoch-Times-and-Falun-Gong-

Wiki article on ET:

"The Epoch Times was founded in 2000 by John Tang and other Chinese Americans affiliated with the Falun Gong new religious movement.Tang was a graduate student in Georgia at the time; he began the newspaper in his basement."

As for the Falun Gong religious movement in China, even Wiki admits:

"The persecution of Falun Gong is the antireligious campaign initiated in 1999 by the Communist Party of China to eliminate the spiritual practice of Falun Gong in China, which maintains a doctrine of state atheism. It is characterized by a multifaceted propaganda campaign, a program of enforced ideological conversion and re-education and reportedly a variety of extralegal coercive measures such as arbitrary arrests, forced labor and physical torture, sometimes resulting in death." (Falun Gong article)

The Wiki article on the ET is full of its usual anti-Trump propaganda, but the detail about the its origins shows how a based alternative news outlet can go from humble beginnings to having a nationwide readership. I've even seen copies for sale in newspaper vending machines in Georgetown (DC)!

What pisses me off about fox the most is you can always tell from the headline, if it is too spicy they disable comments. Cucks

I used yahoo news a lot just to look at comments to see how a majority of people would rail the writer.

It's been a long time since they disabled the comments now.

Yahoo disabling comments was the last straw for me.

Always the SUBJECTIVE qualifiers like "systemic". Define systemic, please, bitch.

They have a part in the origins of the paper yes. Ultimately it's a news company that was aimed at criticizing the CCP and has since spread to give more global coverage.

Comment section is the best sign that you are not fake news.
