> You have to have learned AlJazeera, RT or Xinhua exist, because they're not going to be shown to you by normal channels
They’ve each run ads on billboards in New York. I distinctly remember Xinhua’s in Time Square.
Recently?
Al Jazeera America closed down some years ago. (2016 apparently).
Definitely after 2016, but before Covid.
At the risk of a tangent, were Xinhua seriously fishing for a US audience? Or was it more kudos from the billboard?
My parents used to be addicted to Al Jazeera, then some unspecified incident occurred and we were never to speak of it again. All very strange.
