> Again, you didn’t read the article and you are now making incorrect statements about it. You’re also making some pretty misguided assumptions about me. Ironic.
I have made no assertions about the content of the article. I made assertions about the agency, the headline and first line... the rest of the article I made **no** claims about... so why would i have to read the whole article when im not commenting on the rest of the article?
> Go read the entire article. And click on the link titled “Save the Children Convoy.” Read that one, too. They bring the receipts.
Bringing receipts to justify your opinion or bias doesnt change the fact that you express opinion or bias. So that wouldnt change the fact that it lacks journalistic integrity.
If a journalist says "Bob murdered bill, and bob is a horrible person".. while "bob is a horrible person" is an opinion I agree with, and "bob murdered bill" may be a statement of fact with proof shown... none of that changes the fact taht the conclusion of "bob is a horrible person" is an expression of opinion (drawn from facts, but still an opinion). Thus has no place in journalism... Doubly so if your website is "News on murderers so we can bring awareness to how shitty murderers are"... like yea I agree with the cause, but thats nor journalism, thats activism.
> I don’t agree with your assertion that an ideological leaning negates reliability in journalism.
Simply having an ideological leaning doesnt.. but when your news agency promises to encode that ideological leaning in their reporting (not even accidental, but intentionally incorporates it) then yes, 100% lacks journalistic integrity.
> Read the article - Then, tell me what you would change. I’m not looking for an essay, just a sentence or two reporting the facts as you think a non-biased, responsible journalist would. I’m really interested in how you will frame the pedophilia accusations the group is making.
I can already tell you what I'd change as there are enough issues in the first lines and headline... Issues that can not be corrected with "receipts" because they are opinions about the facts, not the facts themselves.
Here are the corrections I'd make:
PressProgress -> PressNeutrality
far-right -> anti-LGBT
"Pedophile Conspiracy convoy" -> This needs to be completely reworked on a few accounts.. 1) the meaning is ambiguous, it may suggest they are pedophilias who beleive in conspiuracy theoryes for example 2) Calling it a conspiracy is f course inherently bias where again anti-lgbt is factually accurate without lacking the journalistic integrity
etc etc.
Am I the only one whose brain wont process RFK Jr's face as a normal face... like looking at his face causes my brain to respond the same way as the Canny Divide, like CGI that is just off enough that my brain glitches...
PS I am in no way suggesting anything conspiracy theory here... I know he isnt CGI.

Yea just gonna leave that little gem there.
TL;Dr for anyone reading the thread
Me: Both the DNC and the GOP lack any ability to compromise with anyone that criticizes them even a little
wise guy: NO we dont! <lists a bunch of reasons the GOP sucks> You are a GOPer, your bothsidism is showing
Me: So my response to you not taking criticism is to prove me wrong by not taking criticism from me and lumping me in with the GOP?
"table a motion" is a new autoantonym for the list :)

Yea, you cant make this stuff up.
@freemo
Also, time to update your profile pic.
Keep the expression, just add the beard. ;)
@wiseguyeddie Why do you keep fantasisng about thi gs i didnt say and then argue against those fantasies rather than addressing what i said? How does it help arguing with yourself and pretending your arguibg witb me?
Never said you hating the gop was the dogma... nice try though. The dogma was when i criticised the DNC for being able to comrpomise with even mild criticism is completely lacking... i said nothing about the gop.. your response however is QED to the very poi t i made.
I did not debate that i proudly poi t out faults both tbe gop and dnc have. If you want to call that both sidism i dont mind. But you assuming that i am claiming the dnc and gop have to compromise is not what i said.. in fact both are lost causes as i said thry shoukd both be dissolved and not compromise at all.
Regardless you arguing that the gop is bad doesnt in anyway disagree with my claim that the dnc is incapable of compromising with anyone (not just the gop) when criticized.
You literally spent several threeads proving me right on this, QED. THANKS.
