Not by any mean, but how do you discover what is happening in the world, you- tube, short wave radio, morse code, ham radio? Just curious how the perfectly informed become informed? Oh, I bet internet sites like Newsmax or internet sites like those run by Qanon?

I've been on this forum for approximately five years. To stay engaged in conversations you must present factual representations of YOUR opinion. This forum will not tolerate "fake news", and is quick to correct you if you are mistaken on any trivial point. Apparently my sources are fairly accurate, as I've been called out ONCE, and that was on an irrelevant time-line. Some posters have a knack for making a lot of noise without providing any useful information. They are boring, and mostly ignored.
To answer your question, I observe many sources, Global and National. Left and right and all the in-betweens. What always emerges is a fair picture of what is most likely the TRUTH, and even then I can be wrong. At least I can say [and quote ] my sources. And on a personal note, tip, don't try to project what you think is going on in my mind [ ham radio, Qanon,etc.] as you only reveal your own limitations... fjb

Oh hail to the hombre de cinco años. From your comments, if say not a lot is going on in your mind. As far as quick to point out fake news, well, let me tell you that went down with the MV Felicity Ace. I've seen nothing corrected or called out on this forum. You say many sources, such as? You failed to name even one. At you will versed like Sarah Palin. Read a lot of newspapers but can't name a single one? That's ok ace, you just keep trucking.

Of the examples shown...Only Tiananmen was fairly reported on... IMHO...

The media has since proven itself a lesser entity...

They are bad and untrustworthy because they don't know what they are doing. They are hired based upon ideology, not journalistic abilities. The reason is so that they will report what they are told to report, they will say what they are told to day, they will act how they are told to act.
