    It's Reuters, not fucking Breitbart. Calm down.

    Also, it's hilarious that you're telling me to use Al Jazeera (spelled incorrectly, btw) for China news, when the articles it has on China are no better. In fact, they're the same.

    Spot the difference between the article I linked to and this one from Al Jazeera. And this entire article is just lifted from Reuters word for word.

    This is because these news agencies get their news from Reuters, AP, NYT etc. At best, they add some commentary. Which is useless UNLESS the news source is a socialist one and the commentary is critiquing the coverage.

    And I like Al Jazeera! I prefer it to many other Western outlets. But c'mon.

      Wow, you told me to calm down and corrected my spelling.

      I offered you a literal list, albeit an incomplete one, that you can use instead of imperialist sources.

      The Al Jezeera article has none of the problematic bits that I've mentioned in other comments.

      Edit: fixed a typo

      This article gives me whiplash. In one paragraph it's saying everyone's terrified of COVID and in the next it's talking some nutjob using a Patric Henry quote, which is definitely very topical and well known in China, at an anti mask protest and trying to say that is the prevailing sentiment in the country.

      There is literally no actual information in this article beyond exactly what's needed to rile up Americans who do know that Patrick Henry line and do think anti-maskers are some sort of progressive revolutionary force.

      Reuters is probably one of the absolute worst places to go for actual news because their "reporting" is just regurgitating RFA/RFL talking points.
