    Small FYI, a lot of Americans think Reuters is American, but it’s owned by a Canadian billionaire.

      I wanted to avoid highlighting for profit media, because of the relative ease of being acquired (as many already have by Americans).

      These non profit media outlets will remain so long as they have an audience.

            Ya know, if it’s not in line with your thinking.

              I appreciate the gesture, but you do raise an important point, that Reuters, despite being Canadian, was not included.

              I believe in a healthy democracy, we must allow for discussion, even if it is unflattering (unless it’s hurting someone), therefore you should do as you please.

      And before that, it was British, founded by a German guy. Still headquartered in London. Do people from the US really think every relevant org is from there?

        Yes they do.

        American exceptionalism is a thing. (And has been since the 1800s)
