You obviously didn't get the memo. All of the establishment media has vilified the Epoch Times because, alas, they don't follow the leftist media narrative.
So, for beginners, the Epoch Times must be evil.
The truth is that the Epoch Times is one of the very few independent news outlets not distorted by corporate funding. It is funded by subscription for the people who actually care to know the truth. Yes, unlike the DNC, Disney, and the NBA, the Epoch Times has a negative bias towards the evil CCP.
Here is their intro: (BTW their reporting with interviews in the American Thought Leaders series is the best reporting in the US today)
The Epoch Times is the fastest-growing independent news media in America. We are nonpartisan and dedicated to truthful reporting.
We are free from the influence of any government, corporation, or political party—this is what makes us different from other media organizations. Our goal is to bring our readers accurate information so they can form their own opinions about the most significant topics of our time.
We don’t follow the unhealthy trend of agenda-driven journalism prevalent in today’s media environment.
Instead, we use our principles of Truth and Tradition as our guiding light. We highlight in our reporting the best of humanity, the valuable lessons of history, and traditions that are beneficial for society.
The Epoch Times was founded in the United States in the year 2000 in response to communist repression and censorship in China. Our founders, Chinese-Americans who themselves had fled communism, sought to create an independent media to bring the world uncensored and truthful information.
The Epoch Times has received numerous awards for our reporting and design, including from the New York Press Association, the Society of Professional Journalists, and the Society for News Design.
The Epoch Times’ media network currently covers 21 languages and 33 countries.
