Has Anyone Else Received A Magazine Published By The Epoch Times?

I received a magazine this morning about the origin of Coronavirus and the Chinese Communist Party.

I found it scary and wondered who is sending them out? It’s not something l have requested.

You've probably had your address sold by some firm you've done business with.

The thing looks a lot like the crap that the likes of Alec Jones et al churn out as a means of selling books and subscriptions to people who like what those low-lifes push.

Not me, but I looked it up:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Epoch_Times

The Epoch Times is a multi-language newspaper and media extension of the Falun Gong new religious movement. The newspaper is part of the Epoch Media Group, which also operates New Tang Dynasty Television (NTD). For its articles, the publication draws from a network within China, as well as staff living in the West. The Epoch Times has been publishing in Chinese since May 2000. It is either sold or distributed free-of-charge in 35 countries, including various international regional editions. The Epoch Times websites are blocked in mainland China.

The media outlet is primarily known for promoting far-right politicians across Europe and the United States, and in particular for its promotion of U.S. President Donald Trump; a 2019 report showed it to be the second-largest funder of pro-Trump Facebook advertising after the Trump campaign. The group's news sites and YouTube channels have spread conspiracy theories such as QAnon and anti-vaccination propaganda.

Omah, Yes, that’s a great idea!

I didn’t dare touch it, as it might be impregnated with the virus!

Forget about it Arty, and go back to watching the BBC news where you can trust it to be right...

You MUST be joking! The BBC news once was fairly reliable but that ceased to be the case decade ago.

Strangely, I rolled my eyes and thought that the publication is so batshit crazy there must be a Trump connection... and, lo!, there apparently IS one.
