I’m not sure what your point is.
Of course this is a FaLun Gong related publication.
That’s never been a secret.
FaLun Gong have been among the few groups willing to stand up to the communist party since the Tiananmen Square massacre and the most effective one.
Yeah, I think their beliefs are goofy. So what?
The reason the MSM is against them now is competition and ideology.
The Epoch Times is a real competitor now, mainly because it reports actual news the MSM will not, and this relates to the ideology. The MSM won’t report it because it could harm Dems and leftists. Consequently, Epoch Times gets traffic that NBC could get if it actually reported news.
I basically agree with you. They’re goofy, but they fill a niche. As does the Washington times.
I’m just surprised that they have finally gotten sufficient visibility for the mainstream media to actually acknowledge they exist at all. Then the mainstream media immediately discrediteds the publication by linking it to the Falun Gong, and portraying the link as if it was all part of some some deep, dark secret plot by sinister forces that would have remained unknown to the public except for the intrepid work of the vigilant mainstream media.
When it’s been there in plain site all along.
I just picked up a copy of the Epoch Times at my local Walgreens tonight. It’s the first time I saw it for sale in a regular store. I became familiar with it when it distributed free in newspaper boxes in downtown San Francisco, and never saw it anywhere else before now. It’s much more professional looking than it used to be.
It’s the first newspaper I’ve paid money for in probably two or three years.
