I've already seen US news media using recycled photos that they do not say are old. People in the comments find them or recognize them. One that was supposedly of a huge group of Iranians "celebrating" in a square was actually from a funeral years ago.
Yes! I pretty much abandoned U.S. commercial and cable news so long ago that I can't even remember. Have relied on NPR, PBS, the Washington Post and foreign news outlets ever since. WP is now a lost soul.
Several of my main sources are in Spain and Italy - language barrier will be a problem for many, though you can use translation apps to get main gist. El País in Spain (I live in Spain) is particularly excellent, and I also recommend Corriere della sera and La Repubblica from Italy and La Vanguardia from Spain.
The Quran. It is the LATEST NEWS sent down from The True Life in The 7th Century: "Earthly life is not The True Life." (Quran 29:64) "All born will taste death." (Quran 3:185) "I will fill Hell with jinn and humans altogether - a multitude from every community." (Quran 32:13) In view of what is happening in Earthly life right now these passages from The Quran are more relevant today than they were in The 7th Century. Amen?
Thank you for posting this! Our news feeds are pathetic, not good for anything but maybe sports and entertainment. It is truly sad that I often go to Substack and even Instagram to find trusted sources that are more than opinions. Joyce Vance @joycevance and Jennifer Rubin @jenrubincontrarian are 2 of my favorites.
The TLDR News channels on YouTube (or Nebula) are good for short form explanations of what's going on. There's TLDR News Global who has been proving good context in the lead up to this conflict. Also for the US policy perspective Pod Save the World is a resource I listen to/watch.
Al Jazeera is a good source, and Prof. Timothy Snyder also recommended it.
This film COUP 53 by Taghi Amirani has been recommended by a friend https://www.instagram.com/reel/DVZs5s0DrNW/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==
also RACHAEL MADDOW is always on point! she's with MSNOW on you tube now.
Zeteo is good.

The Movement Media Alliance (https://movement-media.org/) is a great place to find movement media news outlets, such as Prism. I am also following these two journalists: Samira Mohyeddin (https://www.youtube.com/@SamiraMohyeddin) and Kourosh Ziabari (https://kouroshziabari.com/).

Well, CNN’s days of good reporting are over, now that Paramount owns both them and CBS. Maybe Ted Turner should buy it back??
From quite awhile back and I dont remember the reason, I'm not sure of Al Jazeera and don't use it at a news source.
So true. Al Jazeera too
Thank you.
