Maybe for profit journalism isn’t the best model. Anyone have a solution?
Yes. NPR.
Got my mug and bumper sticker, still waiting on my tote.
Good way to only get the US government approved perspective.
NPR gets almost no funding from the US government and regularly runs stories critical of said government. What are you talking about?
Lol it's almost never critical of the US government. It will be critical of certain politicians and policies but rarely will they criticize the US foreign policy. Unless you consider puff pieces like this one for the CIA news you should seriously consider using other sources for foreign policy news.
blatant lie remains false. Film at eleven.
Yeah that puff piece was full of lies.
Nope just your claim. Puff piece was puff piece but not remotely false.
This quote is a huge lie. The CIA has been involved in paramilitary ops and coups in South America and other places since its inception. This article tries to pin all of the CIAs sins on the Bush administration which is a lie by omission and a hostile lie as it's praising the agency on the Ukrainian Russian war. This puff piece was meant to make it seem like the CIA is in the moral right to be anti Russia but made a misstep on the war on terror. It's propaganda and it is a terrible way to stay informed.
