I was a subscriber of the weekly printed newspaper for about 1 year in 2017-18. I then switched to the online paper and TV subscription which I have maintained since. I believe that the reporting is honest with all attempts being made to provide fair and honest coverage by only reporting on items which the reporter or team can independently verify. In some cases, they will give an opinion, but only after clearly identifying that it is their opinion and not a verified fact. Because of this, I find that most of what I see and or hear from Epoch Times is an accurate reporting of the facts. Because the paper was started with one of its stated objective being to publically and honestly expose the Chinese Communist Party and to report on the CCPs human rights abuses specifically against Falun Gong practitioners, a lot of the reports are clearly and intentionally written with a strong bias against the CCP, to some people this might appear to be a right wing propaganda and conspiracy paper when in fact it is just a paper with an objective to expose known problems with the CCP and their overwhealming abuse and harrassment of anyone who dares to speak out against them or anyone who is willing to expose the harm and corruption found within the CCP. If you believe that the Chinese Communist Party is a legitimate govenrment that is not corrupted and who cares about the Chinese people then you will probably have a hard time accepting the honest reporting done by Epoch Times and you might also accept and believe reports published by other news media companies who instead of reporting honestly about the CCP, because the CCP buys millions of dollars worth of advertising making the CCP one of the major advertizers of those news media companies who are now so dependent on the money from the CCP advertisements and without this influx of chinese money these companies would probably go bankrupt within a year or two. Because these media companies are now so dependent on the CCP money for their survival, these companies would not dare to show support for Epoch Times since the CCP has made it clear that to continue recieving advertising money from the CCP all of their articles and reports need to be supportive of the CCP and against anyone the CCP does not agree with which includes the Epch Times because of their open criticism of the CCP.
