Please recall that Patten was the same person who went from:

Russian soldiers are supplied with Viagra to rape Ukrainian women and 'dehumanize' them, claims UN official

Russia using rape as 'military strategy' in Ukraine: UN envoy

to

No solid evidence of rape accusations against Russia, admits UN official

Patten has a history of misrepresenting reality to spread a political agenda. With that context in mind, I'll be taking a closer look at the "evidence" Patten uses to make her claims. Are her sources reliable? Are her sources unbiased? Is there forensic data?

Surely, then, your fact checkers will mention the NYT's failure of reporting on Iraq's WMDs in their fact checks?

Oh. They don't? I wonder why.

Most fact checkers don't know shit. Fact is, these two stories have been used to justify conflicts where hundreds of thousands of people have died.

Literally any outlet that doesn't spin bullshit sources to justify warmongering?

Any outlet that doesn't get an ex-IDF official to write an article on Israel's war against Palestine?

Just basic journalistic integrity.

You do realize that... The peer review process is not, inherently, robust, right?

There's a reason different publication venues have different levels of prestige. Nature and Science? Very prestigious. The Lancet? Very prestigious. NeurIPS? Very prestigious. The Journal of Genocide Research? Not so prestigious.

Cuba's healthcare system is crazy. Canada, take notes

I guess China's rapidly shifting towards a highly-educated economy with automation rounding out the lower end? Wouldn't be surprised if higher education became compulsory.

Wait, can you cite this?

[-] intelshill@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 years ago

Almost like the US has a hard on for the Middle East. Coinciding with the end of the Cold War.

I wonder why...
