Eh, eastern media can be just as bad for fake news.
I'd rather say, "don't trust any one media network", the most important thing you need to do is to verify stories from multiple sources, and even read about the same event from multiple political sides, and see what matches.
Western media is in a unique position because most users here are unfortunately Western themselves which lends them to being exposed to psychically lethal doses of Western media through no choice of their own.
But most importantly Western media are the world's stenographers owing to the Western (mainly American) hegemony. Indian cable news is repeating the "Hamas terrorists" line that originates from Israeli and American media. As vile as the Indian media corporations are they did not arrive at these conclusions independently.
All of this can also be said about eastern media networks, they also keep pushing their own narrative, and the truth is somewhere in between western and eastern media.
This meme implies that you should trust any news story from non western media which is just dumb.
None of this advice would have helped protect people from the onslaught of bullshit for the likes of the US war in Ukraine or the Uighur genocide. Multiple... all Western sources claimed the same absurd shit. There were no political sides, the lies were unanimous.
I know they send weappons and aid to Ukraine, but so far I have yet to see that they have deployed personel or are actively taking part in the fighting in Ukraine.
It depends on your definition of what constitutes involvement. If supplying metric tonnes of weapons, providing strategic assistance and training, leading a campaign to bomb the Nordstreams does not count as involvement then the US is not involved in this war.
And this is what I mean, we are both clearly comming from different points of views on that particular matter, I wont say that I am objectively correct, and that you are objectively wrong, it is all a matter of perspective.
Which is why I mentioned checking different media networks, to gain more perspectives to compare between.
I just dislike this meme that claims that all western media is bullshit, it isn't, just as all eastern media is not allway right and true.
Read more news from different sources, that is my point.
Because of a whole lot of events that happened prior to 2022. Do you know about any of them at all? I'll even give you a softball hint with the Minsk Agreements
This's you, and you expect me to actually want to debate your hook-ass about "muh both sides" if you don't get the fuck out of here and wash the landing strips behind your ears; shit prolly smell like cheeto dust and earring backs
