And that's why we have the internet, slik.

The internet is one of the greatest inventions of the technological age, wouldn't you agree??

The flow of information is massive.
The more information, the more educated people become.


Here's an example, albeit of biasedness.

I like Al Jazeera English for the very fact that it's not news from the West. It covers news from the Palestinian territories that I wouldn't catch on the 6 o'clock news.
It has news affiliates with BBC news and other Euro news agencies.
It keeps it's own head above waters.

Some people in the US government, for instance, don't like,..or didn't like AJE. So they hacked it's front page on the website at one point.
This was done b/c it brought out news that others didn't want them to hear. It brought out more truthful news that somebody didn't like or have anyone else listen to.

Who or what takes the credit for AJE??
The internet.
Take a look at YT. Same thing.

I don't care what anyone says about Al Jazeera English.
It's alternative news of news that you just don't hear of elsewhere.
At least some of the time it's like that.

And it's news from a different perspective.
Why should I be subject to news only from the Western perspective??

What??.....is the WEst the only region on the planet??....uh....no.
I don't think so.
