  • One of the Few Media Outlets still Telling the Truth

    PacerGuy64

    In my mid fifties now, and I’ve been reading newspapers for the past forty years. The local edition got so biased over time that I couldn’t get through it without getting angry over the way everything was skewed to the left. I couldn’t stand it anymore and cancelled my subscription. That was a number of years ago, and I started looking for online platforms. I found a few, but none had what I was really looking for in a newspaper. I bit the bullet and paid for a subscription. At $10 a month for a weekly copy and daily news I couldn’t be happier about it. Because I was so impressed I gave a copy to a friend and he said he read it cover to cover. You just cannot find the articles that are in the Epoch Times anywhere else. The other day I was reading the Epoch Times online and noticed that so many articles were dedicated to finding the truth about the election and the fraud that went on. Then for kicks I looked at MSN, and there was not a word about the election. It was like the left and right in this country are living in alternate universes. All I can say is it is like reading a newspaper from 30 years ago when reporters were solely interested in getting to the truth wherever it took them.

  • Reintitutibg age old habit of reading the news

    Remo5Crew

    After a decade of no social media accounts or use and a visceral responses to all network television, ALL, I found an outlet of truth and news and world happening and unbiased straightforward reporting from which I can discern my own thoughts and beliefs as well as be inspired to research more if I am so intrigued. Our family reads the newspaper again! My three teenage kids are getting better news and more global truth in one issue of Epoch Times than in years of public school history and social studies (JOKES). This news outlet is honest and I love how so few people they interview know what the Epoch Times is so their responses appear more genuine and open than when the respondent has a preconceived notion about the media reporter. The breadth of news is wide reaching and personal. When was the last time a newspaper actually cared about the nuclear family and issues we face and how important we are to preserve not only a culture but liberty long fought for? The Epoch Times has valuable reporting and is not pushing any objective than reporting the news to people and perhaps trying to encourage good people to keep being good people and to believe there is still good.

  • The Epoch Times is changing

    RareReviewerSC

    I started reading the Epoch Times, because I came to understood it to be the most balanced, fair, and independent source for legitimate news, without bias. But sadly, the Epoch Times is beginning to show more and more articles from biased left media sources, such as the Associated Press, and Reuters. I didn’t purchase a subscription to read those articles. I can read them pretty much just about anywhere else. Even Epoch itself is moving more to the left, with how their articles are being written. It’s subtle, but it’s becoming more and more noticeable. And be prepared to spend about at minimum, 10-20 minutes trying to cancel a subscription with them. They try their hardest to get you to keep your subscription, offering you discounts, then making you watch a video before proceeding to where you think you can finally cancel your subscription, only to find out you have to call them to cancel it. Then, when you get to talking to one of their representatives, they ask you to listen to a scripted message before they actually cancel your subscription. Even telling them that you don’t want to listen to their message, they tell you anyway. I don’t need, or desire to have to go through all that, and waste so much time, just to cancel my subscription. Overall, I’m disappointed that Epoch is going this route. What a shame.

    Honest Pilot

    I’m 67 yrs old. Academic background: Undergrad at Princeton, MBA from NY Stern School of Business, MDIV from Grace Theological Seminary. I read a-lot, more in a day than the average American likely reads in a month, perhaps even a year. The deterioration in reliable, trustworthy, honest “news” from major media outlets within the past two decades is ineffable. Nearly every news article is (far) more of an op-ed piece than what American journalism once represented. The Epoch Times is a return to sane reporting, nationally and internationally alike. Life is too short, save your precious time - in the one life you have - and delete the above referenced publications. While you’re at it, dish CNN, MSNBC and your local “news’ station. America, “land of the free and home of the brave,” is unlike any nation Planet Earth has ever known. The re-election of President Donald J. Trump and what his administration has accomplished is a mere seven months time, is proof-positive that America is still here, albeit hanging by a thread. Don’t let liberal elites (spelled “democrats”) and their mainstream media cronies cut that thread. Thank-you Epoch Times for your excellent news reporting.

  • App Just Got Evil

    Jmcmike

    After the last update a couple things started happening that really ticking me off. First of all, I am already a subscriber to the paper and digital version. Previously this was more than enough for the app to function when I logged in. However, now when I opened the app after the last update, I was prompted to not only sign in but then subscribe via the App Store. Being early in the morning and not having thought things through I thought maybe my subscription was already under the App Store and I was being asked to renew it so I did. And then when I realized I was already a subscriber I reached out to them via support channels asking why I was being asked to re-subscribe via the App Store. Their answer was useless. It basically told me they don’t manage App Store subscriptions “here’s how you manage your subscriptions in the App Store.” I replied that this reply was useless and did not answer my question about why I’m being asked to subscribe when I already am a subscriber. I have yet to hear back from them after that. Then, this morning when I opened the app up my phone notified me that the app had pasted from my clipboard. This is some tik-tok level bull crap. Fix it!

  • Most calming news I read

    MetalConneseur666

    Everyone I know has continuously told me I need to let go of the political and world news because it always spun me up. With the mainstream media, they were right, I couldn’t watch the news or read any of the newspapers that were available without a feeling of anger building up inside of me. Then I saw an advertisement for the Epoch Times. The advertisement took what made me angry and explained everything in a logical and realistic manner. Not only that, it showed me that a lot of the anger I had from the media was unnecessary, because the bits and pieces from the mainstream outlets were weaved with a bias. This news app is an independent group that works with both sides; filtering out the bias and delivering the pure truth. this focus on the truth over political affiliations allowed me to let the anger go, and for that, it was the most amazing thing I’ve had happen to me in months. Now I recommend this organization and their app to all of my friends, because this app works. I don’t know how they do this for people like me, but I want people to know that it works. Download the app and see for yourself! You won’t be disappointed!

  • Epoch Times Excellence

    "Carol Denise"

    At a time when so many of our newspapers cannot seem to separate reporting the news from editorializing it, the Epoch Times exhibits excellence. It is a well informed public that makes a democracy thrive. Sadly, on so many media outlets that is not the case. The mainstream media in all it’s forms- print, TV, and social media are overtly biased in their coverage of the news. This in my humble opinion is an incredible disservice to the American public. At the risk of dating myself, I grew up at a time when TV newscasters simply reported the facts. No one knew where they stood politically. Reporters conducted themselves in a respectful manner when addressing public officials especially the President. The Epoch Times is a refreshing departure from the drone of the mainstream media where they all seem to read from a prepared script even using the exact phraseology! Their prepared remarks sound like Soviet style propaganda rather than news reporting. The Epoch Times covers all the news and allows readers the freedom to make their own decisions. Bravo!

    The Epoch times is the new Frontline in the Information war age. Like many other conservative liberal Broadcasting networks they focus on the important issues. The issues that the people care about. Matters like Anti Abortions laws, Gender Inquality, Big Pharma, Not Defunding the Police, Pro Religious and worship, Freedom of the press and many others conservative issues. It’s message is clear they want a leveling playing in the Information Highway and unbiased way of looking giving More Mature generation and or Infant a part at the head of the table to the discussions of Human right equality in The United States of America. It’s a breath fresh of air reading articles that support a general consensus of people in a free democratic world. The Vision is sound,Strong, determined and transparent. Maintenance in your ranks of journalism will lead you to victory in the newsroom,Social Media and global market thank you for keeping me informed with the real news.
