• Why do you care about Palestine?

  Experiencing human stories and situations first-hand and putting a face and a name on what exactly happened is one of the best ways to gradually become slightly more enlightened. Everyone needs a passport and to travel, including to places that make them uncomfortable, to find out what life is about, to separate the real from lies, and realize there are wonders and wonderful people throughout the world.

• Fascists expertly exploit the free press: Media rush to rehabilitate reputations of Trump's regime

  DemocracyNow.org is a great example of publicly funded, non-corporate media if anyone's looking for alternatives. Source: about 1 year ago

• NPR is Not Your Friend | National Public Radio began as a scrappy institution featuring the voices of average Americans. Today it’s a sterile, inoffensive corporate product that is produced, funded, and consumed by a narrow demographic of highly educated liberals.

  I suggest Pacifica Radio. They haven't embraced corporate sponsors like PBS and NPR have, and are entirely funded by listeners. Founded by a couple anarcho-pacifists back in the 1950-60s. Folks might be familiar with Democracy Now. Well, that's where the show got its start, and it still airs there. Source: over 1 year ago

• The whitewashing of Queen Elizabeth's reign

  He's so... bothered! If you examine the affairs of the Crown though, it's impossible not to be. The whitewashing began almost instantly. The /r/ontario subreddit posted a pinned megathread that would not allow any critical comments about QEII, the Crown, or the monarchy. Basically every MSM news org had bootlicking and fawning for the entire coverage so far, without any criticism. Thankfully democracynow.org had... Source: over 1 year ago

• Why is mainstream media coverage of France so limited?

  It's everywhere I get the news. If you want a deep dive, just go to France24.com or LeMonde.fr/en or even bbc.com/news. Source: about 1 year ago

• Biden calls 'emergency' meeting after missile hits Poland

  Aight so the general idea here is it's not absolutely certain that Russia shot it and they're definitely denying it. Poland's trying to keep calm to avoid having to invoke article 4 and are leaning on the side of "accident" at the moment. This is almost certainly going to be fine, but if you want to stay up to date on it go to the BBC for decently unbiased reporting. Source: over 1 year ago

• Trader blames Brexit for soaring price of fish – but BBC edits it out

  It's similar to the memory hole effect with online news sites. If you initially release an article with inaccurate or misrepresented headline and contents, then change it later on without any record of the change (something the BBC has repeatedly done on bbc.com/news) you get a difference in perception of a news event based on when someone saw/read the coverage.

• Boris Johnson calls for calm after a fiery fourth night of violence in Northern Ireland

  True. I visit news.sky.com and bbc.com/news front page daily and I only found about it yesterday. Source: about 3 years ago
