You misrepresent the parent comment. In no way did they imply that information about deaths is not newsworthy. We have more choices here than two extremes.
- wilg 7y agoI actually was asking a question of the parent commenter.
- jshevek 7y agoYou phrased your response in the form of a question, but in general that format doesn't preclude a commentator from misrepresenting another's views. Your comment was of the form: >"so [statement A]? [question predicated on statement A]?" In this case, statement A was a non-sequitur derived from an uncharitable interpretation. It appears at least three different people had a similar view, as I did not flag this comment.
- wilg 7y agoIt's not a non-sequitur, the commenter said they didn't think COVID-19 deaths, mass shooting deaths, and 9/11 deaths should be reported on prominently. This seems like an astonishing statement, hence the question!
