| If you look up who runs the Epoch Times it's pretty interesting. Chinese Americans that support the Falun Gong movement. Very much anti-commie.
"By 2003, The Epoch Times website and group of newspapers had grown into one of the largest Chinese-language news sites and newspaper groups outside China, with local editions in the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Indonesia, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and major Western European countries"

| I've been reading them and follow their youtube channel. Have not subscribed. I don't know if it matters to you but Epoch Times is an arm of the Falun Gong (a religious sect currently being persecuted in China). Shen Yun, a group that tours US pre-Covid to give entertainment chinese acrobatic shows is also affiliated with Falun Gong. I like them. I figure the enemy of my enemy is my friend at the present.
"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

| They have been sending me a free test subscription. Think of it like a Fox News minus the theatrics. I was surprised to learn about the China connection. I interpret it (The Epoch Times) as a warning about the current direction our politics appear to be taking and where it can lead us.

| We subscribe, my wife reads the printed paper more than I do. They have actual journalists--reporters--in addition to pundits, so that's a breath of fresh air. And some of the columnists, like Roger Simon, I've read and appreciated for years before they moved to the Epoch Times.

| Canada Post Office Employees Refuse to Deliver Copies of the Epoch Times NewspaperIn a recent chapter of our cancel culture, two Canadian post office workers refused to deliver copies of the Epoch Times Newspaper. Mr. Ramiro Sepulveda, one of the two, “protected” the Canadian public in this way from what he regarded as intellectual filth. In his view, “I saw this thing, I read it and thought it was trash…” He further averred that the Epoch Times Newspaper was “damaging” and “I saw the headlines and I thought, wow, that’s ridiculous…”
But the intellectual virus goes far deeper than this one censor. These workers were not at all condemned by their union representatives. According to William Johnson, president of the Regina Canadian Union of Postal Workers local, Canada Post should be more careful about what material it transfers from sender to recipient.
“I think as a Crown corporation they do have a moral responsibility to actually look at this stuff and determine if it is peddling in hate and racism and those sorts of things,” in his view. (A Canadian Crown corporation would be somewhat similar to a public utility in the U.S.: highly regulated, by the government, but only quasi-independent of it.)
Union leaders have promised to stand by contract-violating members such as Sepulveda. In Johnson’s view, “The publication affects a bunch of our letter carriers. This is not a publication that we as a Crown corporation should be giving out to Canadians.” ...
