What’s wrong with new News channels?

If we maintain the status quo, we’ll have cronies like Jeff Zucker taking the reigns of an established (fake) news organization, pushing propaganda that’s convenient for their world view all while claiming to be objective.

Refer to the CNN exposed / Jeff Zucker tapes if you’re curious to learn about how CNN decides what the narrative is.

So the obvious answer is to push a news channel that is even more brazenly pushing misinformation?

NTD mostly seems to be airing public hearings, not opinion pieces. NTD, RSBN, OANN and The Independent (UK) for the most part seem to be the only outlets providing full-coverage of these hearings.

There's very little editorialising going on, from what I can see.

Can't speak for Newsmax, I haven't seen many of their videos but they do seem to have more "opinion" anchors.

Are you arguing that the public hearings themselves contain misinformation? What percentage of the testimonies do you think is misinformation?
