I used to believe that news agencies cared about informing the public. I thought that was their agenda, their job. I was naive. Their job is to promote the agenda of oligarchs and advertisers. (Advertisers whose message and products are in line with the oligarchs). Alternative media has many problems and is not safe to trust without research. But at least we have an alternative to challenge the mainstream propaganda, and as long as we know it's not intrinsically true, we might be better informed. It is our individual responsibility to give the appropriate amount of trust to what we are being told. I repeat, personal responsibility!
