Serious question. How do these clownvoy yahoos have endless money and free time to sit in their cars doing jackshit for weeks at a time? https://pressprogress.ca/far-right-save-the-children-convoy-gathering-at-rural-base-camp-outside-ottawa/ #ottawa

@kdorse I went there to try to learn about that.. but my god the obvious bias and lack of journalistic integrity I couldnt even get past the first few lines...
Who starts a "press" agency announcing their bias right int he name of the agency... Thats not news.
That said, I am sure whatever the fuck the GOP or alt-right is doing here is probably some pathetic nonsense... but i just cant read something written with no journalistic integrity, I want to form my own opinions, even if i might agree with yours when I do (and probably would if its GOP bs)
As i said i didnt read the article. There was so much bias in the first line i couldnt stomach it.
@freemo @MichaelPorter @kdorse i don't follow. what did you find inaccurate about the first line? Do you think these ideas about government plots to produce child pornography aren't conspiracy theories, or that the people planning these protests don't believe them?
I didnt say my issue with the first line was that I didnt agree with it.. I said the issue with the title, firstline, and name of the agency, espouses bias as an intentional part of their reporting. I cant take any article seriously that goes out of its way to abandon journalistic integrity.
When I agree with the bias, as I do here, doesnt change the fact that bias, intentional bias, has no place in news... I dont want to read commentary disguised as news telling me what to think, even if it is something I genuinely do think. I want it giving me objective facts and leaving it up to me to do the rest.
@freemo @plantarum @MichaelPorter @kdorse You prefer sneaky bias like "fair and balanced"?
No fair and balanced is bias too because your suggestions you will appeal to both biases, thats not journalistic integrity either. Journalistic integrity delivers the facts and doesnt try to deliver ANY bias or intepritations, so there is no need to "balance" them.
