Yeah a solid propaganda arm of the French government

[renox]

Not the only one though: I remember what happened when we 'invaded' Lybia: not one criticism in the French news anywhere, total censorship, even though our media had widely and correctly criticised the US for the Irak war..

So I think the best thing is to get news from everywhere Russia, China, the US, Europe, but that's a lot of work..

It is also not possible as there is censorship in some cases. The European Union has blocked rt.com.

[inigyou]

That is blocked because far too many EU residents were taking it as 100% fact and acting upon it.

The block is only DNS level, IIRC, and doesn't affect VPNs.

As compared to what more trustworthy, honest news sources? Please name a few, I'm curious.

[ekianjo]

Two things can be true at the same time. The lack of good sources and the fact that france24 is pure propaganda.

Usually the argument is that because a reputable news agency with a history of high quality journalism made once a mistake, it's better to listen to some angry podcaster with a history inviting cooky nutcase, or sketchy Twitter account with history of boosting fake news as jokes.
