Epoch Times: Live & Breaking 4+

In my mid fifties now, and I’ve been reading newspapers for the past forty years. The local edition got so biased over time that I couldn’t get through it without getting angry over the way everything was skewed to the left. I couldn’t stand it anymore and cancelled my subscription. That was a number of years ago, and I started looking for online platforms. I found a few, but none had what I was really looking for in a newspaper. I bit the bullet and paid for a subscription. At $10 a month for a weekly copy and daily news I couldn’t be happier about it. Because I was so impressed I gave a copy to a friend and he said he read it cover to cover. You just cannot find the articles that are in the Epoch Times anywhere else. The other day I was reading the Epoch Times online and noticed that so many articles were dedicated to finding the truth about the election and the fraud that went on. Then for kicks I looked at MSN, and there was not a word about the election. It was like the left and right in this country are living in alternate universes. All I can say is it is like reading a newspaper from 30 years ago when reporters were solely interested in getting to the truth wherever it took them.

After a decade of no social media accounts or use and a visceral responses to all network television, ALL, I found an outlet of truth and news and world happening and unbiased straightforward reporting from which I can discern my own thoughts and beliefs as well as be inspired to research more if I am so intrigued. Our family reads the newspaper again! My three teenage kids are getting better news and more global truth in one issue of Epoch Times than in years of public school history and social studies (JOKES). This news outlet is honest and I love how so few people they interview know what the Epoch Times is so their responses appear more genuine and open than when the respondent has a preconceived notion about the media reporter. The breadth of news is wide reaching and personal. When was the last time a newspaper actually cared about the nuclear family and issues we face and how important we are to preserve not only a culture but liberty long fought for? The Epoch Times has valuable reporting and is not pushing any objective than reporting the news to people and perhaps trying to encourage good people to keep being good people and to believe there is still good.

I started reading the Epoch Times, because I came to understood it to be the most balanced, fair, and independent source for legitimate news, without bias. But sadly, the Epoch Times is beginning to show more and more articles from biased left media sources, such as the Associated Press, and Reuters. I didn’t purchase a subscription to read those articles. I can read them pretty much just about anywhere else. Even Epoch itself is moving more to the left, with how their articles are being written. It’s subtle, but it’s becoming more and more noticeable. And be prepared to spend about at minimum, 10-20 minutes trying to cancel a subscription with them. They try their hardest to get you to keep your subscription, offering you discounts, then making you watch a video before proceeding to where you think you can finally cancel your subscription, only to find out you have to call them to cancel it. Then, when you get to talking to one of their representatives, they ask you to listen to a scripted message before they actually cancel your subscription. Even telling them that you don’t want to listen to their message, they tell you anyway. I don’t need, or desire to have to go through all that, and waste so much time, just to cancel my subscription. Overall, I’m disappointed that Epoch is going this route. What a shame.
