Journalism is earned, not assumed. No matter the stance of RT vice still needs to demonstrate journalistic integrity. Have they? No. They’re on equal footing as i’m concerned. Propaganda is at least interpetable.
Also they do tell blatant falsehoods, intentional or no. Americans care much less than they say.
- untog 9y agoYou're falling into exactly the fallacy I described: Vice is not the best news organisation in the world, therefore it is functionally equivalent to a propaganda outlet. It's absurd logic. Almost as absurd as the fact that yours is a brand new account created specifically to comment on this story. I'm sure it's just coincidental though...
- gudenuf4gvmt 9y agoI did not say they were not the best, I said they need to demonstrate basic journalistic integrity at any point. They fail to do basic story updates to reflect obvious errors. At that point, it’s not news AT ALL, it’s just entertainment. So they aren’t just not the best, they aren’t a news outfit, they are an entertainment outlet.
- untog 9y agoDo you have any citations for all of us to read, or are we to trust your judgement? Also I'm curious, why was it this story in particular that inspired you to sign up for an account on Hacker News?
- henry_flower 9y agodude, you're talking to a bot. look at his syntax. he's using the right single quotation mark char (’) instead of a plain apostrophe: that's because he's not typing, he's copying the predefined chunks of text from some approved document aka the fresh methodichka (методичка).
