Nobu 0 Posted November 13, 2020 Report Share Posted November 13, 2020 The chance of it being a deep cover operation run by a People's Liberation Army Intelligence unit is not zero, if its association with Falun Gong is any indication. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They don't seem to be anti=-West or obviously screwing over their believers and they do have reason to hate the CCP. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nobu 0 Posted November 13, 2020 Report Share Posted November 13, 2020 The man running the show is both ethnically Chinese and ex-People's Liberation Army. There is a chance, however minor, that the religion and its media arms are a deep cover operation. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BansheeOne 0 Posted November 13, 2020 Report Share Posted November 13, 2020 I frequently dealt with their local crew in my last job since my boss was president of the German-Chinese Society - Friends of Taiwan, and as a Falun Gong-associated paper they were always looking for things to beat Beijing over the head with. Word was that they started out as a CIA info warfare project. They certainly tend towards slanted reporting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tim the Tank Nut 0 Posted November 13, 2020 Report Share Posted November 13, 2020 I get the Epoch Times and find it to be a good balance with the WSJ. If Epoch writes a story it tends to be longer and more thorough. I'd recommend it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I wasn't refering to their reporting about China in particular. There is a general slant that's most obvious to me on German issues and other topics where I recognize competing narratives, broadly in line with a swath of other international media, but the latter not necessarily sharing their specific Chinese perspective.

BansheeOne 0 Posted November 15, 2020 Report Share Posted November 15, 2020 Harry Styles certainly likes flamboyant clothes (and pie fights). And flamboyant shades, à la Elton John (while singing about eating pussy). 😎 Then again he played in "Dunkirk", so he can be pretty serious. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Whenever I think about what did the most damage to internet culture over the past ten years, this comic comes out on top: Not Twitter. Not Facebook. This comic that probably took Randall Munroe less than an hour to create. Wow! This new forums software is beyond nifty - one could paste article fragments with images embedded!
