I suspect those that read my comment (and perhaps downvoted) think I'm just arguing "both sides -ism" or whatever that's called. I'm not. I do agree with one of the sides more than the other, and believe there is more factual reporting, and a lot less "this isn't true but we need it to be to support our agenda so ** it, report it!" Or "let's just write persuasive essays with lots of conjecture, as that will be enough to convince a lot of people." As others have said, both sides do slant reporting, writing headlines and focusing on the details that better support what they believe, but I think this is well beyond that. Anyway, my comment was not picking sides, or denying the report. It was mostly speaking to the community, to remind them why this sort of post tends to just go sideways and likely doesn't accomplish what we would hope it to. (And the shared article was flagged about 30 seconds after I posted my comment, so... no surprise there!)
