It's good to get a wide range of views, but RT, Al Jazeera, and even BBC all provide their own skewed viewpoints. An informed person would be wise to read their stories and compare them to stories from American journalism outfits, but the idea that Al Jazeera or RT is inherently more credible than American journalists is pretty ridiculous. They suffer from overwhelming ideological conformity as well; it's just a different ideology.
- jessaustin 9y agoHaha "balance". Don't worry that's impossible to avoid in USA. In this country one can never escape the constant messaging: that War is good, that we ever actually win Wars, that we should fear minorities and the poor, that we should express that fear by locking them up and otherwise making their lives miserable... Thanks very much I'm still getting my recommended daily dose of that bullshit! Have you ever taken a week to mostly watch Al Jazeera or BBC or France 24 or CGTN or even RT? If you did, you might reconsider the blind certainty you evince here. This is one reason it's good to live overseas for a time: the corporate-state-approved media can't get you there, mostly.
