        Literally no. I was clarifying because there exist news organizations like Newsmax, etc that simply aren't reputable, usually ultimately because of financial conflicts of interest. You are the only one making racial assertions. Maybe try working on that.

          Like I said, we all know what you meant, and it has nothing to do with "financial conflicts of interest."

            Dude idk what to tell you, that just isn't what I meant. Only you brought that up. The situation in the US is such that we can't trust certain news media because of their financial conflicts of interest.

              Then who do you trust, and how do you determine that? Which non-western outlets do you use.

                Does a source being western make it inherently non trustworthy? I would disagree with that in the same way that something being non-western doesn't mean that it is untrustworthy.

                I determine trustworthiness by their track record of objectively telling the truth.

                Not gonna lie though dude, I'm getting exhausted by this conversation. I can see where it is going, and it's just us disagreeing on more and more things. Good luck with all the things.
