All neutrality is false.

This is media literacy 101. Once you can get past this, you find that outlets that wear their bias on their sleeves are refreshing over those who feign neutrality. They begin to come.of as aloof and condescending, because that's exactly what they are. It's not journalism, it's theatre. Same thing goes with regurgitating exactly what government spokespersons say: that's not journalism. Journalism includes investigation and critique. It's not possible to give an unbiased critique.

Looking at you NYT, you fucking dumpster fire. I only keep you around because a dumpster fire can provide warmth.

I read from multiple sources to cross-reference what narratives are being pushed, and I find news outlets who are often labelled "biased" are the ones most likely to just lay everything on the table. They aren't deliberately trying to direct you into how to think because they assume you agree with them. "This happened and we think it's bullshit!"

You're also more likely to hear about stories that are left out or considered unimportant or are intentionally censored by the mainstream outlets. It's more often the case that they will censor themselves than the government will directly get involved and this is far less from smaller news groups who don't worry about being labelled as biased.

Such ambition! I thought their hands were already full with a genocide AND trying to ignite a third world war.

A third of a threat is when they prematurely hit "send".

Take a look at OPs other posts and you'll see a trend. It comes from a racist place.

Totally agree with that last statement as someone working in that industry. Would be nice to not only see public labs gain stable funding, but to see publicly-owned infrastructure for bringing treatments from the lab scale to full production too. For medications at least, this would mean we could get rid of the private sector (or at least provide an alternative option) that didn't inflate the costs of treatments and constantly seek IP that kills treatments that are potentially more effective and/or incredibly cheap to produce and provide to those in need.

The private sector provides a necessary service currently, but only because they have ensured that they have a monopoly. Ultimately, they serve as leeches holding the advancement of medical science back.

A surprise coming from business insider.

Iraq and Afghanistan are just two of the countries in the region that US politicians have openly been plotting to invade for decades. Syria, Yemen, and Iran are also on this list. They've plotted this since the 70s and have openly admitted to it in interviews since then.

Iraq was part of the bigger picture, like Iran. It wasn't just opportunistic, it was part of the plan from the beginning.

They can't find the war assets the Pentagon bought either.

If they can't find the money they spent to kill people, why would they spend more money to heal people? They need to focus on fixing their Pentagon audit issues by not doing anything about the audit issues first!

It was kind of the opposite. Bush Sr did the setup and the blowback landed on his son's administration...which then made it worse before they kicked the can further down the road.

The Democrats are pushing xenophobic ads this year too. In our state, every ad contains sinophobia and red scare tactics. Shit is ridiculous and my lib friends don't understand how I could possibly choose to "throw away my vote" by not voting for Biden.

I should just start solely gifting Lenin and slipping quotes into all of my messages to them.

Definitely not giving up, was just making a bit of a bait-and-switch joke about how so many people feel like they give up their "freedom" by giving up their cars.

In reality I take my bike with me everywhere and love it when public transport is accommodating to this.

That first image isn't a real clip from the movie, it's just a good fake. The origin of the "brave Mujahedeen fighters" line is from Ronald Reagan himself.

That said, you are right.
