      I notice you provide critique but no alternative. Could you name better sources? Ones which adhere to highest journalistic standards? It would benefit us all and have the added affect of proliferating better information.

      In addition, could you elaborate on which journalistic standards do you find AP and NPR to be lacking? I welcome critique of anything that I support, because through critique and discussion is how one finds what stands up under scrutiny. So please, apply your critiques freely. If my trust is misplaced, I will change my view.

        The criticism is that the AP and NPR even more platently are not Journalism but blatant propaganda. They do not care about the Crtique as they just shout at it and hope it hides

          Can you show me an example of a propaganda article? I haven’t heard anyone share this type of opinion about either source before so I’m definitely curious what I have been missing. I usually browse either website for updates on what’s going on in the world.

          But I’d definitely change my view if you can show me a few examples of propaganda articles. I feel like I’m missing something but open to learning.

              I guess I’m not getting it, but I am sincerely trying.

              To your elaborarion, I think that the cracks have been forming in unregulated capitalism for a long time, and I agree that there is a neoliberal tilt in even the most well-meaning of journalism. It took me a very long time to see it because it (capitalism) was the background to everything. Only when I started exploring philosophy and economics did I understand that there were alternative ways of life.

              I appreciate your replies because I agree with you more than I realized. The good news is that I also believe the upcoming generation sees the flaws in capitalism as well, and they’re as sick of it as we are.

              I don’t follow your meaning on the Russia stuff, but appreciate your time and effort. I’ll give your words more thought.

        I don’t need to provide an alternative to point out that something is bad. I don’t need to follow the hyper-liberal norms and practices that you’re so fond of on sites like reddit, it simply is not a requirement.

        It’s a strange twist of logic you have that no one can have an viewpoint counter to yours without providing you an alternative to your liking. Grow the fuck up and learn how to be critical of news sources, or at least how to find sources critical of them. If you’re so good at reading and research and understanding it really should not be an obstacle for you.

        You come into this thread high and mighty about your (self-perceived) knowledge and wisdom only to spout ignorant nonesense in reply after reply and then cry when people call you out on it. Intellectually, you are a coward; emotionally, you are a child.

        Here’s my counter tl;dr for your reddit-brain: Get fucked.
