The EU news is real bare bones, that's why you get the feeling they're credible. They only parrot what someone else wrote already. Please put your Google Translate on and look at news sites from countries outside your country or region. And then make up your own mind. It's the only way to evolve yourself.
You are very wrong. Each country in EU has its own news agencies and many of them have reporters all over the world, even in conflict zones. It is simply not possible to push narratives through such an amount of channels, like they do in the US. Of course some news gets parotted, that's how news works, but a Slovenian reporter, reporting from Ukraine doesn't care what NYT said about anything.
I don't know, I read European news sites first and there really is less debt to them than other sources. Or it's just a few paragraphs without the background or history etc... I have to admit, the last few years some have mitigated this by doing more research, filing it under 'dossiers' and I really like their fact checking. But maybe you're right and they can't put everything out there.
You don't know WTF you're talking about and it shows. You obviously have no formal training in journalism or mass communications, but here you are spouting off like the self-appointed armchair "expert" you are. Just consuming news doesn't make you an expert; it makes you a consumer with a poorly-informed opinion. Again, you obviously have no idea how any of this works.
Yes, sure :)
