That's always a worthy, necessary even, consideration.

You may be right in this specific case, and I tend to agree - though mostly out of lack of knowlege.

But I gotta object the insinuation that private media is somehow more reliable. Every outlet has an agenda. Al Jazeera English is by far the best journalistic TV I know (disclaimer, haven't watched in a few years). Funded by the government of Qatar…

Last part is a fair point - making no claims in reliability across other media.

Specifically just making a claim on if you vet reliability by national security/global politics topics that we all see playing out in the news, then it’s worth considering your specific role in it as a user or tech employee of TK.
