      Radio Free Asia isn’t a news organisation. They’re a rumour-mill run by the USA to generate bad vibes surrounding China and the USAs other enemies in Asia. They’re less credible than The Onion.

        globalsecurity.org and Radio Free Asia both passed the independent organization “Media Bias Fact Check” with flying colors for factual reporting, although the latter has a very slight center-left liberal bias.

          This is beautiful, thanks.

          Is that what the ‘C’ in CIA stands for, ‘centre-left’?

          You know Aria was being literal, right? That RFA, with RFE, and VOA are CIA outlets? Funded through the NED (which also funds many more outlets but to a lesser extent). RFA isn’t in any sense a ‘news’ organisations at all. The impressive thing is that Media Fact Check Bias apparently isn’t capable of distinguishing real media from fake. That’s a bigger problem than bias.

          So what you’re saying is “Media Bias Fact Check” is extremely biased and can’t tell fact from fiction (or are knowingly lying). Good to know. Thanks! Now i can mark them off as liberal propaganda and know that reality is likely the complete opposite of whatever they say about a media source.
