Does anyone remember CNN back in the mid 80’s?
If we had a news station like that now every half hour they would update the Israeli war and the war in Ukraine.
They would also update other conflicts daily.
My wife and I are struck by how difficult it is now to keep up with current events because the news just continues the news stations narrative viewpoint.
Are we mistaken on this?
Its hard to get daily news on what’s happening in England, the riots, the rise of Reform, Little on Russian Victories in Ukraine, or the tangled mess in Israel. Not much on BRICKS or what happening in China—did you know they have men in space? I need to get news from India to find any sort of balance.
Hardly. I cannot bear to watch any of the "news" channels. I get my news from FreeRepublic, and the article sources on the FR threads when they look useful. Video news became impossible many years ago.
Granted FR has a strong conservative slant, but it's up-front and understood. A lot of neutral and left-wing news articles are posted on FR as well, and those threads give me all the "balance" I require.
