This place really needs a rule on quality news sources. Not that it would be enforced correctly like the rest of the rules.
Sure, I like it.
You also run into problems with news media that have a conservative bias; they trend significantly less factual than news media that have a liberal bias. For instance, despite being quite far to the left, Jacobin is very good at having factual information. Even Salon–which should not be mistaken for a reputable news source–does better than Newsmax or OAN. If you look for sources that have a left bias and rate “high” for factual reporting, you end up with a pretty large list; when you switch that to a right bias, you list is about 1/4 - 1/3 of the size.
It’s worth noting that there are NO sites that have a left or right bias that are “very high” for factual reporting, there are five sources that are center-left that are very high (and no center-right sources), and all of the other “very high” sources are least biased or specifically pro-science. IMO, sources that rate below “mostly factual” shouldn’t be used, since it’s too much of a pain in the ass to track down their sources and verify their claims.
Agreed. But like I said, never going to happen because using shitty misinformation sources is critical to maintaining beliefs in conservative ideals.
Lmao at spamming a bunch of links to the fucking hacks at mediabias
Today’s dismissive label of the day from momo is “fucking hacks”, how fun!
That’s less than 0.1% of the population
Oh no. How awful.
How dare we have compassion for the refugees we created?
For conservatives, taking responsibility for actions only is required when it has the effect of punishing an out group, minority, etc.
The U.S. destroyed large swaths of Latin America, causing countless refugees to try to escape, many of then to our own borders. But said refugees are an out group, and the action our own, so according to conservatives the U.S. has no responsibility despite our own actions being the cause.
