Really I didn't know they were funded by Falun Gong. I knew they had their beginnings covering Chyna which always made me weary. After the harsh reality that journalism wasn't anything what I believed before 2015 I've pretty much written off any of it. It is The Epoch Times that in a way reached out w/a hand of "give our line of work a second chance, we're not all bad" & so I did. I don't mind bias I mean we are all human (mostly). What I mind is the condescending nature. The holier than thou attitude. The shamelessness in their positions. The assumptions that we are stupid, incapable of common sense or critical thought. We the people are tough and can take it, any of all of it. There may be some things that are difficult to digest, some parts we will have to simmer in & maybe things we will have a harder time swallowing but if we're given the facts all of them as they are we will make the right decisions. The reason they don't is precisely because of this. They don't want us to come to the right choices they want us to bend the knee. In everything in every way and at every turn. As cogs, they see themselves as just a piece of a bigger picture and each one of us is a potential "monkey wrench" so they willingly deceive. It is what it is, I suppose. My problem is I thought there were things in place to prevent anyone of this nature to get anywhere of significance in this profession. Journalistic integrity & rules or a process like a piece having to jump thru several hoops before even making it to the editor's desk. Then if everything couldn't be verified or it was flimsy it wouldn't be "fit to print".
Foolishness was apparently my middle name throughout my entire life until 2015. I assumed that these "safety measures" existed in everything. Politics, academia, foreign affairs, literature, history, medical industry & as you know that list goes on & on. They have infiltrated & infected every single trusted institution that has ever existed & now we are all disorientated in search of the light of truth in an entire world in upside down darkness. And I, for one, hate them for it.
