Jordan Lund at it again (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Context:

The article in question was well sourced, factually accurate, and written by a well-renowned author and journalist whose work appears elsewhere too, regardless of which outlet published it.

Nonetheless, Jordan Lund is once again blindly trusting a pro-zionist conservative outlet masquerading as a bias and fact checker that nothing from anywhere that criticizes the fascist apartheid regime can be reliable 🤦

I lack any context but if the rule is against questionable sources and a mod is able to document that the source is questionable then surely there other news outlets are reporting on that too that you can use. Unless there’s a big conspiracy against that.

No conspiracy required. The Celtic fans' antifascist and pro-Palestinian position is not news, so I see no reason to expect non-left outlets to report an equivalent opinion piece. In fact, this second image was reported in news 9 years ago^[1]^.

That said, Manufacturing Consent is an excellent introduction to why mass media bias has emerged.

I was going to say that it's probably just an unsourced opinion-analysis piece, but no it's pretty thorough, even though it is relatively light news (and not an investigation despite the tag). The site doesn't seem unreliable to me.

For !world@lemmy.world if you look at the rule, it's that opinion based articles "MAY" be removed, they aren't just automatically removed because they're opinion.

As a rule, I don't have a beef with opinion articles as long as they are informative and fact based. If they go off the rails into "Well, Ukraine shouldn't have antagonized Russia!" or some such, I'll remove it for misinfornation, not because it's opinion.

Avoiding non-newsworthy content might be a part of intention behind the rule but whether that makes sense depends on how you want to run a community. I try to make an effort to not assume ill intent (not always successful) and this just looks like a mod is using external list not to be critiqued for arbitrary choices and that only works if no exceptions are made.

This is a community in the spirit of "Am I The Asshole" where people can post their own bans from lemmy or reddit or whatever and get some feedback from others whether the ban was justified or not.

Sometimes one just wants to be able to challenge the arguments some mod made and this could be the place for that.

  2. What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?
  3. Provide a screenshot of the relevant modlog entry (don’t de-obfuscate mod names).
  4. Provide a screenshot and explanation of the cause of the sanction (e.g. the post/comment that was removed, or got you banned).
  5. Explain why you think its unfair and how you would like the situation to be remedied.

Rules
