I wouldn’t put the blame solely on them. I grew up being told that the BBC, Reuters, NYT, AP News, [and probably more I’m forgetting], were the gold standard in unbiased news coverage.

And at first it made sense, but after the 10th mass firing/forced resignation of reporters and editors from each of those organizations, always relating to covering what’s happening in Palestine, that illusion shattered irreparably.

When Zionists control the news, how can your news aggregator not be?

    The post Oct 7 xp changed things for me dramatically. I also used to be BBC, CBC, etc. gold-standardist. I still put a lot more confidence into public broadcasters than the average but not nearly the same way as I used to. I see a lot more of what they do with points they don't align with. Like the CBC giving significantly more time and page to corporat leaders than unions during major labour disputes in Canada. (Just to give a an example unrelated to Palestine)

    The BBC or any other state broadcaster cannot possibly be unbiased, it wouldn't make sense to run stories that damage the institution. The problem is that they claim to be unbiased. RT and Al-Jazeera don't patronise their viewers in this way. RT is obviously a Russian tool, Al-Jazeera represents the gulf states, fine. The BBC won't criticise the royal family and must have tied themselves in knots over the years, sitting on information about Andrew's obviously criminal behaviour, amongst much else.

    They run too many ads not to be.

    The only news that is guaranteed to be Fair and Balanced is Some More News.

    It's got a puppet.

    Same with the Poynter Institute and Media Bias/Fact Check, which Ground News relies on. Previously.

    No-one who ever claimed to be fair and unbiased could have a sinister ulterior motive!

    I called it years ago. The whole premise is incredibly questionable.

    Did they stop saying the point about the NASA scientist? It would not surprise me if it was originally neutral site but had since been bought out.
