There is literally no link I could have found that would not have triggered your criticism. There is literally no Western media outlet that would not be labeled "empire-sanctioned" by you.
Right
The PBS articles only source seems to be the American government, that seems very much "empire sanctioned".
The other one has a little more diversity, it cites the American government, national defense think tank analysts, and a company who's primary customer seems to be the American government.
Would you trust an article exclusively citing oil companies, their associated think tanks, and companies that they are closely linked with money-wise?
You are deeply unserious. Even the lack of evidence is clandestine by your thinking.
What sources would you consider trustworthy?
Anything that doesn't fall under the empire umbrella, as was clear:
So if I make an official-looking website on my home server, slap a fancy sounding domain on it, and send it to you, you'll trust it?
Answer the question. You answered the opposite question of "what won't you trust?"
And if you don't have an answer, it's okay to say you need to reconsider what your criteria are. That's okay. That's how we figure things out
So theOnion.com is trust worthy?
Kidding aside, I was hoping you could give some specific examples.
At least you know you're being lied to with the onion
I’m not arguing against that, I’m just asking for examples of trustworthy sources.
