El Dildo Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I'm glad someone mentioned Al Jazeera. forgot to mention them, but the past few years I've picked up AJE and Univision America for sourcing almost anything that is non-domestic. and lately they shine through on domestic issues stronger than domestic sources. PBS and NPR are also putting the old networks to shame. but Al Jazeera and Univision have surprised me, in a pleasant way of course. has anyone watched Jorge Ramos on his new show on Fusion TV? they're trying to be a 'Nu Media' destination for young people. their programming is heavily about social issues with a relatively clear Liberal slant including a lot of satire and informal discussion. Jorge Ramos is a bad ass in case anyone hadn't noticed... Moonshield 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jorge Ramos is a bad ass in case anyone hadn't noticed... I haven't checked his new show, but I've seen him in Al Punto and in the regular news back in the day. I love him sooo much lol he's so badass. And he's not all that liberal from what I've seen of him, he's just a very, VERY heavy supporter of immigration reform, as it's the #1 issue among Hispanics. I'm not sure about the network or show, though. I really love his way of interviewing -- no bullsh*t, he gets straight to the point (al punto) and calls bullsh*t out. Did you see the Rahm Emmanuel one? Emmanuel got pissed haha. The dude kept changing the subject, and Ramos kept reminding him "you and Obama promised to do this." By the end he was just like "shut up and let me keep changing the subject." The guy is also one of the hardest working people in the industry -- he's doing a TON of projects. There's a Daily Show interview with him going over what he's doing, it's pretty neat. He's absolutely, without a doubt my #1 journalist.

theadmiral Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 (edited) I read the www.drudgereport.com because it is very accurate and reflects the political views of mainstream America, and is always without bias.

It may be worth renewing your subscription. Despite the sheer breadth of subjects The Economist covers it tends to do them justice and I have yet to find a more balanced and rationally considered publication from an ostensibly British point of view.

sivispacem Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 You watch RT? What for, the sake of irony? Not sure I would be listening to a news outlet who claimed that Iran had a progressive attitude to homosexuality when the bodies of three men executed for being gay swing from a construction crane behind the reporter.

You are right, it is rather ironic. But if you put it into the context of the hardline Islamic world, Iran is the most progressive in terms of women's rights and gay rights. Still an appalling record, but i'd rather be a woman or an open homosexual in Iran than in Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Yemen, or Afghanistan. I guess it is all relative.

sivispacem Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 It's a bit sticky to compare Iran to three nations at least partially run by Sunni extremist movements, a failed state and a Wahabi/Salafist state. Compared to the majority of North Africa and the Middle East they're far from progressive in their attitudes to sexuality and gender politics.
