Dahell is happening in Kiev

    That's funny, most of those channels are usually included in basic cable TV packages here


    Also, sorry for the wrong words, I meant "state funded" not "state owned" (even though it can be interpreted as pretty much the same thing, if you fund something you basically control it ).

    The deutsche welle is apparently the same thing france 24 is, and you too don't know about it, that's amazing


    I didn't knew you could have a tv channel broadcasting what your country "thinks" on the international scene (like maybe it's not the opinion of the majority of the citizens in the country), it's paid with your taxes, and you didn't know about it. I'm blown away


    That is weird. I'm aware that there's a global BBC entity (both channel and news site I think), yet we can't even access the website in the UK without proxies and the channel certainly isn't aired here. I remember stumbling upon it one day and it telling me I can't view it because it's not funded by the UK TV license system. It doesn't tend to come up in UK search results either. It feels like these things are set up specifically to speak for us without letting us have any idea what's being said...

    haha and it's changing the theme of the news for each language. That's absolutely amazing. I didn't know a thing about france 24 which is apparentely airing a LOT in africa, it's really nasty. I'm not perfectly informed about actualities, but still, i go on the web, read stuff in english; well, very modestly i think there is much more people less informed than me in france. I didn't know these things could possibly exist . The british counterpart seems to be BBC World Service

    BBC world service is paid for by licensing out shows/channels to foreign networks and selling box sets. Basically it has nothing to do with the state funded (which I'm not even sure you can classify the BBC as, the money never passes through the state, there is merely a law stating you must have a license if you own a TV, which the BBC has to argue they deserve over another channel every few years) BBC, it is its own entity.

    I'm sure if the whole world wasn't watching and the Barraco Barner hadn't issued a threat, he'd be on his merry way to another massacre or genocide.

    I agree with your general thinking, wouldn't expect a genocide really, not today. I mean, Russia's army vs a "rebel" force? Who would really fight the fight… like US vs Iraq when they were all surrending.
