[quote=sdduuuude][quote=Hatfield]Yes, I always turn to the Epoch Times for my well-reasoned and researched news.[/quote]
So, what is the deal with Epoch Times ? I see infomercials for them on Youtube and, of course, they seem very reasonable. But being the jaded person I am, I am sure some underlying motive compromises their journalistic integrity.[/quote]
Everyone knows about these guys. well, at least I thought people do. Think of it as an Asian version of Fox News.
The Epoch Times is a multi-language newspaper.[2] It was founded in 2000 by John Tang and a group of Chinese Americans associated with the Falun Gong spiritual movement.[3] Though the newspaper is known for general interest topics with a focus on news about China and its human rights issues, it has become known for its support of U.S. President Donald Trump and favorable coverage of far-right politicians in Europe; a 2019 report showed it to be the second-largest funder of pro-Trump Facebook advertising after the Trump campaign.[4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] The newspaper is part of the Epoch Media Group, which also operates New Tang Dynasty Television (NTD).[7] The group’s news sites and YouTube channels have spread conspiracy theories such as QAnon and anti-vaccination propaganda.
