Not saying that this is not true, but "World Socialist Website" is a website with content created to promote socialist agenda on behalf of a group of socialist parties.
Again, I'm not discrediting them, but it's good to know that there's an implicit bias and agenda on this type of content.
Same goes for the majority of the mainstream media. I wish someone would build a Chrome Extension that could reveal potential biases based on political donations, affiliations, and known shareholders, in relation to the media website you're visiting.
It would add a lot of context and allow people to have more criteria to evaluate the media they consume.
- pizzazzaro 8y agoThats interesting. Most non-mainstream media makes you dive through the 501-C##'s papers, ICANN whois records, etc to find out whose voice you're hearing. And then you gotta dig like a shameless conspiracy theorist to find out what that means about what you're reading. Socialist media tells you who/what it is. Right there in the title. Why the distrust for Workers' Rights?
- smsm42 8y ago> Why the distrust for Workers' Rights? As somebody who spent part of my life in a socialist country, there are millions of reasons to distrust socialists. The Party's (under socialism, you always know which one is The Party because all others are banned) press is usually a non-ending stream of lies. Of course, the fact that all socialist press I've had experience with were complete liars does not mean that this one, which I never read before, is, but at least there's a cause for caution. Especially as we didn't hear the other side at all - once, in the press, there was a rule to try and get opposite's site take on the matter, but of course the revolutionaries don't have much need for rules, do they?
