>>>And?
It's a news story, there doesn't have to be any underlying editorial message. Sometimes the news is just "thing happens".
- koolba 6y agoFor most publications that time past a long time ago. There’s a limited space so even “presenting the facts” has an editorial bias when you decide which facts you are presenting. The extreme example of this is a political news site that dedicates its entire site to posting anything that paints its opponents or their positions in a negative light. They can all be “thing happens” stories, but the filter alone gives it an angle.
- seanmcdirmid 6y agoThe article here is not of that kind. Business publications tend to be the most report-fact-based, simply because their readers don’t make money by deluding themselves with confirmation bias.
- Wowfunhappy 6y agoWell, you have the existence of this article as a counterpoint. :)
