Truly shocking that some of our friends still reply, "I didn't see that on the news!" when we mention FACTS about current happenings.

Which should be a wake-up call to not trust the news. Just had a similar response to someone who said they're just scared all the time because of all of the bad news - but they won't stop consuming that news to help alleviate the fear because they have to "be informed". The media will show you what makes them money for the most part.

Ever since Mockingbird, the “news” has been completely co-opted. The emergence of things such Rumble and SubStack have proven to be a major thorn in the side of the MSM alphabets. Thus the roaring demand that they be censored. The good news being that the more desperate the PTP etc become the more ludicrous their efforts become which in turn red-pills addition “fence-sitter”. Keep up the good work Alphabets, you are creating more VC than you are killing

So true! I watched FOX call AZ for Bob Peters and that was the last time any MSM appeared on my screen. I knew the media had succumbed to control and I refused to be propagandized. I am thankful for that revelation and being liberated from the sheep pen.

I have been a subscriber for 3 years. I do love it..but then I see something that gives me pause. Then I think...hmmm. How would a foreign power capture a country? Send in spies. Someone who seems to be on their side, but isn't. Don't get me wrong, I do love them and their content. Maybe too much. 3 years ago nobody even knew about them...now it is a lot of peoples go-to for conservative news because there is nowhere else. It stands alone. It just makes me think...probably too much.

I believe Epoch Times was founded by chinese who wanted to expose their govt genocide and abuse of minorities, as well as oppose communism generally. At least that's the story I heard, and they seem to publish stories in line with that.

I check their articles daily. I noticed a lot of sensationalizing IMO with some of their headlines. I go to read it and I’m like whats the big deal? They use the words GRAVE and DIRE a lot.

I’m not saying they are bad but I was just wondering. Some things seem over exaggerated just for readers. But yes many of their articles are good. Like the latest on Trump.

Honestly I think they’re very keen and open to the facts, they also FOIA so many archives not open to the public eye, for these reason and much more we’ll do good to support them.

We always reply, "You're obviously paying attention to the wrong news!"

And what do they say to that? The people I talk to (who are still asleep) can't fathom that there is any factual news except for main stream media. I remember being made fun of because I suggested someone watch a video on Rumble. She thought it could not be true because it was not on good old, reliable YouTube.

They always always always ask, Which news should I be watching? Honestly, my husband has WAY more patience than I to address that, mostly because my eyes have rolled completely back in my head and I...just...can't...

Me too. Rumble was considered a crazy right wing extremist platform to them. I asked, " can you just watch the content?" No reply
