- throwawawawaway 6y agoNot to agree or disagree on Sky News Australia. Just on the dataset itself, by searching for my previous company I found many people I know of, and I can at least say that the 'hometown', 'organization' and 'education' information is accurate for a few I checked.
- Yetanfou 6y agoSo? Thu Guardian is the equivalent of the New York Times of the Washington Post in the USA, that does not mean you can't believe anything they print. News sources have biases, as long as you know those biases and (very important) know and acknowledge your own bias you can and should use those sources to get an idea of what the news really is. This is why I do not use a single source, nor a single aggregator as a news source but instead look at sources ranging from the Guardian to the Wall Street Journal as well as a bevy of "alternative" news sources. The 'net makes this possible, use the possibility. Just squawking about the bias of sources which do not correspond with your own bias is a part of the problem, not a part of the solution. By the way, it is disheartening to see the growth in the number of throw-away accounts used in discussions like these. Stand up for your opinions, dare to voice them, don't hide for the cancel mob. Use your real account even if - or maybe especially if - you expect the mob to pounce. It is only when "established" users show they are not afraid to speak up that the mob can be beaten.
