I didn’t say they were all equal, I said they were all biased. My only point was that criticizing the Post for publishing unverified information should mean you criticize the “real journalists” for doing the same thing. This has happened numerous times in the last four years.
- slg 6y agoI find it funny you were labelling my comments as ad hominem. I thought we were only allowed to discuss the merits of a specific story. We were talking about the New York Post and the documents from Hunter Biden's laptop. I don't know what unverified information you are referring to here or how that would be relevant to this discussion. What is clear is that many "real journalists" were not satisfied enough with the evidence to publish it. That even includes organizations like Fox News that have a bias that would seem to align with publishing the story.
- ceilingcorner 6y agoYou seem more interested in personal attacks, insisting that I don’t understand journalism, etc. than discussing the story. I’m sorry but I really have no interest in that kind of conversation. I’ve already made my points clear.
- slg 6y agoI legitimately don't know what you are considering to be a personal attack. You said the media don't care about verifying their stories. I said you don't understand journalism if you think that is true. That isn't intended to be a personal attack. Maybe there is something else I said that you took offense to. I will happily apologize if you point it out and it truly crossed a line. You are free to ignore this since you said you have no interest in this conversation. If that is the case, I will take a cue from the upvotes I am receiving and the downvotes you are receiving that the HN community thinks I am in the right here.
