Comments by "Alan Friesen" (@alanfriesen9837) on "Hong Kong Protests: Residents turn on protestors" video.
I've seen a good interview on Deutsche Welle but the reporting there is pretty biased. The source I've found most trustworthy is CNA out of Singapore.

Alfred Wang I'm not sure I'd call it western. It's Russian.

@binzhang6497 BBC is the British public broadcaster. They are quintessentially Western. They are highly professional with strong journalistic standards. However, they clearly have a Western bias that can be detected in their consistently negative coverage of countries like China, Russia and Iran. VOA is an American propaganda station aimed at destabilizing regimes that the U.S. government does not approve of. It's definitely Western, but its intent outweighs its concern for fairness or professionalism. CNN is a private American news channel. It has strong Western points of view and has some moderate inherent Western biases as well as Western and sensationalist biases tied to its commercial interests that compete with its journalistic standards because of its dependence on the market. I think the BBC and CNN are both worth watching despite their biases. They both have strong enough levels of journalistic professionalism, just be aware of where they come from. I wouldn't trust VOA any more than I would trust RT; both are agenda driven. Though it might give some balance to view both of them on a given story and split the difference.
