     @cjd I have just seen one other video from this guy and know nothing about him but he confirms all my biases so he must be right.

     @freakazoid I almost never read any of that trash. Pressure to corrupt means no significant size news media can ever have the interest of the reader first. It's basically pick your poison, whose propaganda do you prefer?

     @cjd A friend of mine with PSYOP experience recommends consuming a broad cross section of media including "that trash" (and for example RT) because it's all SOMEBODY'S truth. It's pretty easy to read between the lines once you get an idea of what the different biases are, and it's useful to learn what people are telling themselves about it.

     @cjd This Bloomberg article disagrees about the ghost cities, but it appears to be flat out propaganda, because the fact that there's SOME activity in SOME of these cities doesn't change the fact that a huge fraction of the buildings won't ever be able to be occupied.

     @cjd Looking at western news about the Chinese stock market crash makes me physically ill. Plenty on Wall Street are applauding the CCP's intervention in the market and calling for more of it. STEAL MOAR FROM YOUR PEOPLE TO FUND INVESTOR WELFARE PLEASE!

     @freakazoid
     I tend to glance at stuff if people post it here, but I'm pretty "leak dirt or gtfo" oriented. Typically stuff like rt *claims* to have dirt but fails to deliver while western papers just stick to fluff Opinion that might as well be a blog. More often than not it seems to be people on here or twitter pointing out useful leads.
