Media biases....

At home, in the Vierk-Aaltarboy Tajmahal-like mansions, I do not have land lines, ISP or cable TV. Smart/cell phone much better, occasional wifi use in some favorite places and cable during travels (hotels/hostels/AirB&B/Home away) suffice just fine. Still use antennas on rotator in tall trees for many broadcast TV stations/HF wire lines, even some from ooooott there Oh Canada-Eh?, conditions permitting. Like much in our friends' country to the north, TV and radio are quite different there, and often much better. When twins were still at home, I begrudgingly (tight wad) had all three, supporting lots of fake news sources, and ample brain pollution for children and adults alike. And now amateur radio and short wave broadcasts allow for diverse coverage of world issues, from blended viewpoints, while at the home front. But on this trip, watching cable, have noticed two improved TV sources. Al-Jazeera and i24. By comparison with my using many sources at the V-Aa castles, these sources seem to be far less biased. Of course, apartheid Israel takes it deep up the back side on Al-J., as well she should. And likewise, i24 tends toward the (slightly) more left leaning Eurotrashy view on reality, at times. But in general, I'm seeing these as a breath of fresh air, in trying to feel informed. Silly me? Onward, nose ever straight forward, through the dense fog.
