Reuters, Associated Press, NPR, New York Times, PBS, BBC, CBS, ABC. There are many more journalistic outlets with excellent reputations but a bias.
- ReptileMan 6y agoNY times after the 1619 debacle (silent edits to save face) shouldn't be on the list.
- jay_kyburz 6y agoThat bias is just the bias of middle class, well educated people.
- Kye 6y agoPretty much. The sneering calls from checkmarked writers for some of these on Twitter for genocide of "bad places" (like where I live) is always unnerving. Some might be joking, but some of them really do believe everyone in the southeast is a tea-sipping, noose-making, dog-kicking monster. And those same people will insist they're very pro-LGBTQ and anti-racism as they call for the genocide of every person they claim to be for in those regions. Which is a lot of people.
- RonaldRaygun 6y ago> as they call for the genocide of every person they claim to be for in those regions. Excuse me? This seems like quite a claim to be making, if it is in good faith. Or we have very different conceptions of the pretty clear-cut term "genocide" (such as the dog whistle misappropriation, "white genocide.") Care to elaborate or provide any evidence at all for these supposed widespread calls for mass murder?
- Kye 6y agoThey do it right out in public on their professional accounts to tens or hundreds of thousands of people and face no consequences. Calling for wiping out the southeast or "flyover states," then arguing with people in a way that makes it clear they really mean it. Why bother recording it?
