        I think the real point is, to try to adjust for the source, figure out what topics they seem to avoid, and take that into account. Point is there’s not really any news you can trust to be honest always about everything. But if you can figure out what topics each source is likely to censor and misrepresent, you can get the most accurate picture possible.

          Yep, that’s about right! Media literacy is one of the most important tools in the modern age.

          I distrust German media, the BBC, and Russian media similarly. I read news from all over and try to take their source into account. If I trusted German media you’d think there’s no genocide in Palestine, but that’s clearly propaganda. Russian media on the other hand is more honest on that particular topic.

          Germany sanctioned a journalist for covering the genocide in Palestine.

              Are you for real??? You talking about censorship and I tell you of a factual event that is happening with your oh-so trusted media involving actual censorship.
