    They’ve got a strict separation between ownership and editors, though. They regularly go against the grain and report deeper than merely repeating the convenient narrative.

    Sure, capitalism and independent media don’t go together well, but state control and i dependent media are an even worse combination, and on the scale of what’s possible, NRC is doing quite well. Certainly much better than Tass.

      No they don’t. Ultimately ownership chooses who works there.

      They regularly go against the grain and report deeper than merely repeating the convenient narrative.

      How did you determine this?

      Pure vibes based statement.

      and on the scale of what’s possible, NRC is doing quite well.

      How did you determine the this? Because it tells you narratives that agree with your world view?

        I read and compare. When Maccabi supporters were picking fights with Arab taxi drivers in Amsterdam, they didn’t blindly repeat the government story about pogroms but told what really happened, a story that eventually won out. They’ve never shied away from stories inconvenient to any government or corporate interest, as long as it’s based in facts.

        They’re highly regarded for their objectivity.

        If you want to attack them, you’ve got to come up with more than vibes.

        And the fact that you’re baselessly attacking them while defending Tass, is outright ridiculous.

          but told what really happened

          How did you determine what “really happened”?

          They’ve never shied away from stories inconvenient to any government or corporate interest, as long as it’s based in facts.

          How did you determine that? You don’t know what stories they elect not to run.

          They’re highly regarded for their objectivity.

          By who? People who agree with their bias?

          If you want to attack them, you’ve got to come up with more than vibes.

          Mate, you’re the one who’s been making claims based on vibes. I’m not the one just asserting that they’re objective and honest without evidence.

          And the fact that you’re baselessly attacking them while defending Tass, is outright ridiculous.
