    CHEK is employee owned and has an app for TVs. Decent news service but Victoria. Also there are some good investigative journalism shows on outlets like TVO (Ontario), just not as timely.

    For international news, DW, France24, Al Jazeera, and other state media apps like the BBC all have their strengths. DW can be good for African news, for instance, but terrible on anything about israeli genocide. Al Jazeera can be great for perspective on the USA or Asian news but suspect about the Gulf States or the Levant.

    As always, follow the money.

      Al Jazeera??? No, no thank you.

      I’ve heard of CHEK and have seen some of their videos on YouTube.

      I always forget about TVO, which is odd given how much I watched it as a kid.

      I like BBC and The Guardian.

      Also, I’m pro-Jew. Not interested in so-called Palestine’s propaganda.

        In my family and our other Jewish friends, zionists are seen as antisemitic and make us feel unsafe, especially when they equate jewishness with zionism. I am not jewish but I respect their arguments and very real anxieties.

            I actually said not to watch al-jazeera for information about the Levant. Your response ignored that and stated that you are pro-Jew, in a way that implied that you are a zionist.

                Yeah we are pretty anti colonial around here. Zionism is a colonial project that attempts to subsume Jewish culture and identity and is itself also antisemitic in that principle, as it tries to redefine Jewish as something vile to many Jews. At least you are up front about it.

                    On behalf of all the ashkenazis and victims of colonialism in my family tree, that attitude and ideology are toxic and harmful, and I hope you find a kinder, safer way in the world.
