    “Obscure” means nebulous, not clearly visible, of unclear origin. So, if you’re arguing their obscurity, who exactly are euronews? What are their sources, who are their correspondents, who’s financing them, what is their business address or business model? I’ve wondered about that quite for a while but there’s nothing to find except their data brokering service which seems good evidence that they are not what they claim to be: a news organization. So what exactly are they if not obscure?

        I didn’t even care about that as much as about their obscurity. But it seems people here are too damned stupid to understand what “obscure” means in case of a news outlet. Makes me wonder a lot less how people are falling for fake/manipulative news or “corporate communications”.

          Just because you don’t know them doesn’t mean they’re obscure. They were even broadcasting over the air back when that was still relevant.

            Do you know them? Who’s editor in chief? Can you answer any of the questions I’va asked above? Did you read it?

        No, exactly that’s what I mean by “obscure”. An investment group is not a publisher nor a news agency, not even a media group.When it comes to publishingh that’s just obscure. It’s almost the definition of an obscure media outlet.
