OP, I appreciate you posting these stories, but I would ask you if you wouldn’t mind finding a different, less overall biased source.
Voice of America is called that for a very good reason. They claim to have journalistic independence, but they are a U.S. government news source. They are run by the same “independent” group that is funded by congress and sends American propaganda to Cuba, so their claim of independence and lack of bias is really hard to buy.
What sources are better than VOA and are free?,if you don’t mind me asking.
I think VOA is very accurate in it’s coverage of USA news and most fact checking agencies rate it as factual.
For American news coverage: The Associated Press, NPR, PBS. All free.
Although for a story like this, the local paper is often a good bet and is sometimes free. It is definitely free in this case and has far more information: https://www.sltrib.com/news/2024/07/20/salt-lake-city-evacuations/
Bias in a story like this isn’t a big deal, but it can be in other cases and it’s best to avoid what is essentially a government mouthpiece.
I think you misunderstood me, when I said free I meant that they licensed under creative commons and I am sorry for not clarifying that.
I don’t like to follow news from news sources that do not license their content freely.
They’re licensing their content freely because it’s a government mouthpiece. Of course they want you to use it.
You are, again, trusting a source run by a congressionally-funded “independent” group that broadcasts propaganda to Cuba. And your reasoning is because it’s published under a CC license?
If Stormfront published articles under a CC license, would you use them? Because otherwise, that seems like terrible reasoning.
Just because you think it’s a propaganda, does not mean it’s.
As shown in the sources, they are very reliable.
One data point on COVID does not make it not propaganda. As far as propaganda, Media Bias Fact Check goes to bat for Israel and calls any source that criticizes it biased.
I showed you sources that prove that they are very reliable and very factual by third parties, where is your sources that show that it’s unreliable?
Looks like wildfire season has started
