Started by Falun Gong practioners who were persecuted by the CCP and fled to America for the purpose of broadcasting uncensored news into China.

They seem to be on Trump's side, but I do share your questioning of their origins. Perhaps they're part of the Chinese against the CCP?

NTD is a branch of falun dafa/gong media.

If ccp is left wing propaganda, think of FG media as right wing propaganda. They will tell the truth in as much as they get to take down ccp, but they lied about how dangerous the ccp virus was even up until august, when we already knew how fake that was.

They also skew data to make it seems like FG practitioners are the most persecuted in china, when it's actually catholics and various sects of christianity.

They only support what is considered "right wing" now, and support trump only bc he is against ccp, but NTD is not America first, its FG cult first, MAGA is just a tool for their ends. This includes Epoch times.

FG is a chinese cult. I can't emphasize this enough.

NTD is owned by the proponents of Falun Gong, a harmless sect of Buddism that was violently and viciously suppressed by the CCP. Those that managed to escape China before the crackdown started a few news channels like NTD and Epoch Times in order to disseminate the news happening inside mainland China without being censored or suppressed. Some of their stuff at the bottom of the hour seems a little weird, but that's because the show (up until this point) was aimed at Chinese expatriots. So some of their articles, like weather anomalies in China, etc., have significance to Chinese people that is lost on Westerners. Other than that, they've been pretty good, and nobody hayes the CCP more than NTD News.

It's been pretty based when I watch it. I think they're "dissidents", if it makes you feel better.

I know it does feel like actual news, it’s just fucked up if we have to get our news this way in the US.
