As I mentioned above, some of the Epoch Times sections are questionable. Obviously, there is a huge market for the "beyond science" kind of stuff which is one of the sections in their news paper. But the straight news reporting is very good, and a reliable alternative to, or if you like, a balance to the hyper slanted NYT.
You picked "one" youtube channel. One that demonstrates how you want to characterize the whole of Epoch times. I recommend that you watch several of the "American Thought Leaders" videos hosted by Jan Jekielek.
I would also say that the so called mainstream outlets including CNN, NBC, and CBS have far left series that push anti-traditional, anti-religious, anti-conservative, conspiratorial nonsense as well (such as Rachel Maddow, and Chris Cuomo, etc). And just as there are those who believe in Qanon, there are those in the mainstream media who promote that Trump is a White Supremacist, misogynist, Neo-Nazi, anti-American, Putin puppet, racist, and so forth--as well as mischaracterizing or downright falsifying various events such as the Nick Sandmann incident, and many others.
I haven't posted any of the questionable ET videos. And those I did post were not rebutted or proved to be false.
It seems that those of us on the so-called "right" here are aware of leftist views and media outlets and are willing to discuss and debate their content. But those on the "left" have very little awareness of actual right leaning or conservative right wing alternative media, and when they are exposed to an article or video, they are immune from acknowledging or discussing the content, but go straight to trying to discredit the source.
