NPR, ABCNEWS, NPR, BBC, Reuters. UPI. Sometimes I will read CNN and NBC, but always consider it a jumping off point to confirm elsewhere.
That does actually would explain things.I get almost all my news exclusively from the Onion and I fact check them by using the Babalon Bee as a cross reference.
No wonder you have no clue what's actually happening and why
Not sure about the specifics, but that is, at least in general, how misinformation and disinformation are controlled and disseminated.
Those are all the same thing - Establishment controlled.
As opposed to right wing propoganda sites?
Such as??
Fox is the same as your sources... never looked at the blaze. Don't need to.
I will say this for Foxnews, they do offer up decent coverage on some issues - usually science based; and, as often as not couched as opinion.

Lol. Fox news, and Marty Makary, a surgeon making an opinion about epidemiologists . That is known as the logical fallacy of 'argument from authority'. Hint, epidemiologists is not his area of expertise. Now, if you were talking about cancer or surgery on the colon, he would a reasonable expert. When talking about epidemiologists, he's not.I will say this for Foxnews, they do offer up decent coverage on some issues - usually science based; and, as often as not couched as opinion.
The fraud of AGW is one such topic - although their "news" reporting is usually Establishment pap.
Here is an opinion piece by Dr. Marty Makary, Johns Hopkins University.
It doesn't take things to ground, but I cannot assure you you'll never see this information at one of those sources you frequent.
10 biggest COVID mistakes – Americans deserve an apology from the medical experts
The medical establishment has marched in lockstep on COVID-19, marginalizing physicians who had different opinions. Two years into the pandemic, it’s fair to ask, how did public health officials do?
Refute his points - that's the point. You can't refute his comments, so you attack him personally?? Way weak.
I don't have to, every one of his points have been refuted by professional epidemiologists. He is a contrarian when it comes to infectious disease, and 900K dead in the usa refute what he says. The fact he claimed we would have natural herd immunity by April 2021 shows he's wrong.
He made no such claim - yet that is what you think you read??
I pretty much consider any initial source I read as my jumping off point for further confirmation elsewhere, unless it is a topic that really doesn't necessarily interest me, but that doesn't mean I will take what I have read as gospel in a one up.
That's a good standard, but some sources I trust more than others. For example, if foxnews and huffington post are to me suspect unless confirmed by other sources, and even then, the opinion spin has to be removed. Fox news in specific does a lot of quote mining, and doesn't give the whole story.
True.
Too many people read their favorite news source, and don't go down the rabbit hole to look at the original repeated data to see if there is misrepresentation, or biased opinion spin. They gleefully get fooled, as Mark Twain wrote in 1906 "How easy it is to make people believe a lie, and how hard it is to undo that work again!'
