Well, tell that to those who claim they're being lied to and who have access to multiple media where they can corroborate news for veracity while the likes of Russia have no such luxury.

I used to do the same thing with the CBC on the radio until 2019 when they caught orangemanbad fever

When I was a boy and was taught about journalism and research, we were always told that more sources was always better than just one source. That was before Fox News (perhaps) started to transparently overtly (like professional wrestling) blur the line between news and journalism and tabloids. But Fox News was only reflecting what had been going on already for a long time in television news, which is that even the most respected news outlets were subtly and secretly and therefore deceptively, electioneering for the Democratic party.

I used to enjoy the CBC overnight when they would do public radio from other countries like Deutsche Wella and Africa Watch. Occasionally I'd catch something from France or Belgium too.
Nothing from the Middle East or the Orient, nothing from South America. Curious

Well, it stands to reason that multiple sources are better than just the one else how could that one source be questioned, verified or debunked? As before, it's a case of discerning those sources that in the case of serious news and not just tabloid sensationalism are worth delving into and the credibility associated. Heck, even the tabloid press gets things 'right' on occasion but that's because the 'story' is all over the place, verified and can't be falsified. Even amidst any given bias there's enough to source that gives credible news and the likes of Russia don't have that. In the West, we do.When I was a boy and was taught about journalism and research, we were always told that more sources was always better than just one source.

And, like I say, they are lying to you.
Saw a report from Ukraine on CNN this evening. (05-24-22)
Reporters near the front were under fire from artillery, and mentioned the over-head, Russian drones.
Then they entered a "root-seller" where they said the Ukrainians had been hiding "for weeks"... as the shelling got closer.
The reporters fled, after having supplied the Russian drone with the location of the "cellar".
I would call the reporters double-agents for Russia.

I used to watch CNN Headline news back in the 1990s. Just 30 minutes of my precious time and I'd be all caught up on national, international and sports news. Believe it or not they were actually objective back then.
Exactly. The left are the ones who made Fox News necessary. They have no one to blame but themselves for the existence of Fox. If they would have just remained relatively objective Fox News would not exist today. But no. They couldn't restrain themselves. They went full libtard. The natural result was the right clamoring for a counterbalance.

I remember that. I'm just talking about the website. I spend probably 10 minutes all week on CNN, but that's plenty to see if there are any surprising headlines, which is all I'm looking for.

(I don't agree with all your language but) Yes! It was their own fault, they shot themselves in the foot.

Again, that whole discernment thing. Unless you're unhinged enough to think that all journalists and all media reporting consists of lies then it's easy to sift whereby truthful news is being reported. Or hey, maybe there's no such invasion of Ukraine going on and it's all just made up?

Oh, okay....weird but whatever...
Yeah, we know. You refuse to watch Fox, so you're special.
