## About

Every section of The Epoch Times covers a different story, but all roads lead to Beijing: a Chinese-American outlet that built a mass Western audience by packaging Falun Gong's conflict with the Chinese Communist Party as mainstream conservative news. Rated Far Right by AllSides and Questionable Source by MBFC, its headlines arrive in a register indistinguishable from standard right-wing media, which is precisely how it reaches audiences who would reject overtly movement-aligned content. The outlet that looks like a newspaper is, structurally, a movement's press office.

## Profile

- **Ownership:** Epoch Media Group, operated by Falun Gong practitioners; also parent to NTD Television
- **Funding:** Digital subscriptions; advertising
- **Focus areas:** U.S. politics, China and CCP affairs, anti-communist commentary, COVID-19 and health policy, election coverage, conservative opinion, Falun Gong persecution


## What the position means

TOLD classifies what an outlet publishes over time, based on ownership, funding
and focus. It describes a pattern; it is not a rating of quality and not a
ranking. Nothing in TOLD sorts, hides or promotes a source by its position.
State-aligned and partisan outlets are in the catalogue on purpose, labelled.
