About the protests in France.
Blatant disinformation by CBS and the mainstream media.
A good example why the mainstream media is not trustworthy to tell you the truth.

SpaceX is back in the news. They were performing a resupply mission to the International Space Station, using a rocket that had been refurbished after two prior missions. The launch went fine:

But the first stage rocket experienced mechanical problems while returning to earth. Instead of the upright ground landing they were hoping for, it lost control and landed in the ocean.

I thought the linked report was remarkably unbiased. Thanks.

I don't see any signs of disinformation coming out of CBS, regarding the French riots or anything else. The riots were originally about the proposed gas tax. That sparked it in the middle of November, and that's what was reported around the world. Then gradually other people joined in with their own demands. They include higher salaries, better retirement provisions, lower taxes, cheaper energy costs, and even Macron's resignation. There is no spokesperson to keep the media informed about their complaints.

If CBS reported the riots were sparked by the gas tax, they weren't spreading disinformation. At most they were ill informed or under informed, as the situation evolved. I've read over a dozen reports from different news agencies and from different countries, and none of them have said the riots are about immigration and globalism. The only mention of immigration and globalism came from an unsubstantiated tweet, by a person none of us know, that was included in the SGT Report you took a snapshot of. Something the unknown owners of the SGT Report decided to include, because it aligns with their world view, and it helps spread their world view to others.

France's people and everyone else feeling all warm and fuzzy about about the Paris Accord get their panties all in a wad when Macron actually does something about it such as try to raise taxes on fuel (an attempt to limit fossil fuel consumption leading to reduced green house gas emissions leading to decreased global warming). Seems like everyone who is for the Paris Accord can't stomach the actions needed to actually affect "global warming". They want to limit global warming but they still want unlimited cheap gas to drive their green-house-gas emitting cars.

I do agree there's a “left-of-center” bias in most western news media. CNN is the most extreme, and they're probably far-left. But more than that, they've made Trump their main focus. CNN has basically gone to war with him. Maybe they don't like being called the enemy of the people, and fake news, so they're getting their revenge. Looks like they're having fun too, and Trump keeps giving them plenty of material. Of course, all of that is “fake news” to D.T.

There's also an obvious “right-of-center” bias in Fox News, maybe even “far-right”. Same with the SGT Report, but it also has a strong conspiracy theory bent to it. I don't think SGT even tries to be truthful some of the time. I think they feel completely justified in writing anything that persuades people into believing their world view. That's their mission.

It reminds me of some quasi-cult of the 1970s, except they use the internet to spread their gospel instead of books. The SGT Report brings them into the fold, and helps keep them there. When new recruits start wondering why the rest of the world doesn't know about the things SGT and Q tell them, they're reminded of the great M.S.M. conspiracy, which hides all this information. Very convenient. But their followers who "can see clearly" know that everything they say is true. This is similar to the cults, that told recruits they would recognize the truth they were passing along, if they were spiritually advanced enough. In both cases, it puts the recruit in the position of not wanting to be viewed as inferior, so he doesn't make a fuss about things.
