“little is publicly known about the precise ownership, origins or influences of The Epoch Times"

Well that’s just great.

So who is paying for a huge billboard in conservative counties pushing this political propaganda org as a reliable news site? We have no idea.

@jpanzer For years they would deliver a paper to our mailbox. We never asked for it. The paper was a very creepy cult-like thing. No ads, and maybe 16 pages. We finally got them to stop. This was before they pivoted to mainly being online.

@brianstorms Yep. I got it for a while too, uninvited. Where are their exploding revenues coming from, exactly?

Ah, no a different weird religion: Falun Gong.

The Moonies own Newsweek:

@katrinakatrinka I’m sure this is all nothing to be concerned about!
