Any readers of this newspaper?

I recently started getting them in the mail - I assume they are hoping i'll subscribe. I like a lot of what they talk about and they seem to have a target on the Chinese Communist Party.

But who are they? Anybody know who funds the newspaper?

From what I have heard...

They are the king of starting conspiracy theories.

:rolleyes:


HAHA - they have a hard slant for sure. And they are all over China on stuff - the copy that came today had a full section (not article) on China hiding the virus.

A whole bunch of well known conservative talking heads on the website. I only saw a print addition this week for the first time.

I've been seeing ads for it. Looks solid. I would pay real money for unbiased news right or left.

Unbiased news, is that even a possibility 🤔 Seems that would require unbiased reporters and editors and quite possibly could be dreadfully boring 😂

Who owns them? Are they part of something else?

They were started by a bunch of Chinese anti communist.

"The Epoch Times is a multi-language newspaper and media extension of the Falun Gong new religious movement. The newspaper is part of the Epoch Media Group, which also operates New Tang Dynasty Television. For its articles, the publication draws from a network within China, as well as staff living in the West."

I've been watching their clips online for some time, but haven't subscribed to their paper. Like everything else we hear, I take it with a grain of salt. So far I've been somewhat intrigued by what they have shown.

On December 20, 2019 it was reported that Facebook took down more than 600 accounts connected to the Epoch Times. According to an NBC News report “The network was called ‘The BL’ and was run by Vietnamese users posing as Americans, using fake photos generated by algorithms to simulate real identities. The Epoch Media group, which pushes a variety of pro-Trump conspiracy theories, spent $9.5 million on ads to spread content through the now-suspended pages and groups.”

Seems legit...


Lol

Any updated info or thoughts on this paper? The origin isn’t too troublesome to me by itself, but as said above, how do we effectively vet “unbiased reporting?”
The recent articles see to be factual and accurate. The opinion pieces are harder to “fact check,” but seem in line with the facts.

Thinking of subscribing.

Well, they vehemently oppose the Chinese communist party. They can't be too bad then? Additionally, they were sensored by the leftist Facebook fucks so that suggests to me they were on the side of event reporting I'm interested in hearing about. Being TARGETED as
'conspiracy theorists" is just another weak, lame attempt by the leftist mob to attempt to sway the weak minded leftist from considering any other information and perspective other than their lies, distortion and propoganda.

Victor Davis Hanson and Larry Elder are 2 of among many that contribute to the Epoch Times . Just reading anything of VDH will make your IQ go up 10 points .

I really don’t think there is such a thing as unbiased reporting. You just have to pick your poison.🙁

It would be nice to watch TV shows movies sporting events whatever without some sort of hidden political agenda.🤔

I subscribed.. I will admit I have been so busy I haven’t had a chance to read them.. the emails 3-4 a day with new stories I can’t keep up with.

Unless you're a Marxist or you don't care about what's going on you just might like The Epoch Times. Check them out for yourself...read their stories on their webpage and you'll quickly be able to decide if they're straight shooters, Marxists (lol) or "Trump's puppets"
