Try a spot of fact checking.

Who would you recommend? Snopes? BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Just about any mainstream news source would provide you with more
info than you clearly have at present

"If you do not read the mainstream media you are ill-informed
If you do read the mainstresm media you are mis-informed."

(After Mark Twain).

"In general you may believe what you read save in the one subject that
you actually know soumething about"

Doesn't that depend on how you know whatever you know ?


(can't remember who said that).

The point is that the mainstream media are the worst places to get facts
from.

No they aren't. There are far worse places just follow some of Harrys links.



They make their living out of advertising and PR.

And subscriptions but I'm not sure to what degree.

They are paid by large
globalist companies, or by government franchise in the case of the BBC,
to publish what is useful for those people to have you believe.

Some are, but it does depend on many things, and it unfortunatly requres the use of a brain (both right and left sides) while reading anything mainstream or non mainstream.
