I agree with you when you say you dont trust american media to be objective. Even removing sources paid by the american government, I'm still convinced shady stuff is going on.
There are many first hand accounts of Uighur people who have escaped china and are living in other countries, and these interviews taken by independent journalists.
For example, Vice had a nice documentary on it. Vice is a leftist media outlet right? Inb4 vice isnt real news
Like I agree with you, about how america is using Uighurs as an excuse to criticize china, but dont you think something's still going on?
Jeez why so rude, I'm at work, I'll give you a compilation later if you want. I know posting at work is praxis and all, but I really cant go full on redditor and hunt down sources rn.
Now obviously we can’t debunk every single testimony ( although that doesn’t stop CGTN from trying. But after a certain point, it begins to wear a bit thin.
Let me put it this way: if you gave me the funding of a US intelligence agency, I guarantee you that I could come up with a few dozen people willing to testify to being abducted by aliens, given autism by vaccines, or turned gay by frogs. I’m not saying witness testimonies aren’t important—they are! But if the only testimonies are coming from people on the CIA’s payroll, things begin looking pretty fishy.

I would treat vice with the same amount of scrutiny as any corporate media entity such as NYT.
Here is the ownership breakdown of Vice:
Shane Smith (20%)
The Walt Disney Company (16%)
A&E Networks (20%)
TPG Capital (44%)
Soros Fund Management (10%)
James Murdoch (minority stake)

Also of note is that one of Vice's co-founders is gavin mcinnes (the founder of Proud Boys) and Bill Maher is an exec producer.
Which is not to say it's not real news but rather it's not "leftist" in the sense that it seriously intends to challenge power/capital.

This is my main gripe as well. I'm open to evidence but every time I ask I get either something that is proven bullshit or nothing at all.

Ok, we’ve now established that the US will quite comfortably use atrocity propaganda to shape public opinion against its geopolitical rivals.
Let’s look for evidence of that happening here.
We’d look for things like inconsistencies in testimony.
We’d expect to see a US-controlled apparatus for disseminating these stories .
We’d expect to see non-US controlled international organisations investigating and reporting no concern .
Now obviously we can’t debunk every single testimony ( although that doesn’t stop CGTN from trying. But after a certain point, it begins to wear a bit thin.

Fuck. Shit man, I hope Washington gets nuked (in minecraft)
That is an excellent way of putting it. Thanks.
