Wow I loved this "What's going on with US Ports" video. Subscribed. I love channels like this. People with a deep understanding that just report facts as they are.

I wish more mainstream media did this.



That's the thing. "Mainstream" Media in the US are no longer bound to the fairness doctrine. Thus, we have corporate ownership which steers how a story is written or at all. Independent media beholden only to their viewers (not corporate benefactors) are incentivized to do what you want more effectively.


Thank goodness the alternative media is bound by the fairness doctrine and don't choose how to cover a story, or if at all, and not incentived to reinforce their audience's beliefs and extremify content for views.

At least they ensure they are well researched on the matters they talk about. Right?


I mean media was never fair. Started out with corporate interests at heart in the early days - only kicked off fairness in the 60s i believe.


How do you determine who among independent media are fair?
