I know all the sources have bias so I like to see what propaganda and which stories they choose to report on and how they report it differently across different sources.
i tried doing this a while back and discovered that all of the sources my sources used were the same ones – ie national endowment for democracy, macarthur foundation, etc.
it turns out that all major news outlets report on “studies” from neoliberal think tanks in exactly the same way that fox news reports on “studies” from conservative think tanks like the heritage foundation.
100% agree corporate news networks within the US very often share the liberal or conservative story depending on which their bias for selection is on what stories to report and often have heavy overlap between PR releases whether it’s from a university or a government or a company. Duplicates along those lines aren’t too useful, but it can be useful to see a couple of those compared to international sources and their biases like al Jazeera, rt, BBC, common dreams, France 24, etc.

duplicates are indeed useful and exactly what made me aware of this ecosystem – wikipedia, cnn, npr (american), abc (australian), cbc (canadian), bbc (uk), le monde (france), der speigel (germany), el pais (spain), telesur (venezuela), tv azteca (mexico), etc. all share the same “studies” from the same neoliberal think tanks like the macarthur foundation or state department backed ngo’s like the national endowment for democracy.
the other eye opening thing was how much of a bigger reach those neoliberal think tanks have compared to their conservative counterparts. entities like the heritage foundation only have a reach through something life fox news or oan – meaning american reach only while the liberal think tanks have a world wide reach.
