Yes of course they are. But if you only use their online counterparts, that's still the same content.
Problem is that the major ones, almost worldwide, have stopped being independent and almost all belong to large groups/billionaires with definite political agendas and tight links with governments. That's not good.

A whole bunch of independent news channels have sprung up on Youtube, but they usually have a bent to them of some sort. But simply follow several of them if you want balanced coverage.
Doesn't help though that Youtube have publically admitted that these are not "authoritative sources" and so they algorithmically demote them.

Do they publish what (they claim are) "authoritative sources" ? Ive been looking for something on that for years..
in a sense its much like slavery, from the perspective of the slavers.

Off hand I'm not sure, but it's a very public policy.

YT automatically flags videos that it detects as dealing with a current political/medical/... you name it/ topic, and gives what it thinks is the official source of information for this. Usually, a government agency of some kind.

Authorities. Maybe big corporations, governments, etc. ? YouTube is generally more interesting (to me) than Twitter.
