Which news outlets spread the most propaganda?

[noname223]

Overall the worst is in my opinion Russia Today. I have watched it sometimes when it was still on Youtube. However I think their activities in Africa and the developing world is the bigger issue. I can remember Slavoj Zizek had a show on RT. I actually liked to watch that.
I also watched sometimes Fox News. Though there are even way worse outlets than Fox News for example Breitbart.
Some of ther worst outlets are probably exclusive on Truth social. But I never used that.

However there are also "leftwing" propaganda channels like CNN, MSNBC, NBC. Corporate news channels that posture themselves as leftwing.

What do you think?

FOX, Breitbart, Newsmax, OANN, RT. Maybe some others.

It's all propaganda regardless of the news source. If its not state-sponcered then its a corporation with its own agenda to make money. It's all hysteria.
I think financial news is important and political news that pertains to me like firearms. But the rest of that shit I could give a damn.
All of the news is lies, exaggerated hyperbolic bs.

But I think Ferdinand Barbamu gave some excellent examples. You could also include Voice of America which is really just a government mouthpiece. AFP isn't terrible but it can be inaccurate compared to Reuters and AP. The Washington Times (not to be confused with WAPost) is pretty biased and warmongering. Huffington Post is smutty and factually inaccurate. Epoch Times is definitely biased and can be misleading but also have some interesting articles. Something like four billionaires own the news media outlets in the UK and something like 15 in the US. At least large, mainstream ones.

ZeroHedge is a valuable source. It's also a conspiracy blog. It's a financial tabloid but if you can filter through it, about 1 in 10 articles are really interesting stuff you won't find anywhere else. They actually have some really good insight on some topics. Unfortunately 9/10 are complete bullshit. The problem is its up to the reader to filter through the doomsday-porn.

All of them have a bias. CNN is communist news network, MNSBC is MSN-BS, Fox news is Faux News. Even the BBC has its issues and bias.

You can also have sources be "too-unbiased," per se. Like NPR can be great but they can sometimes give equal footing/attention to certain issues in the name of impartiality, like climate change. (Just an example)

All news outlets have gone downhill in recent years, even the NYTimes. But not all are equal offenders. Be eclectic and picky. When you find an interesting topic, go digging. Always fact check yourself.
