That's because the source regularly deliberately misinforms. So it's impossible to know if literally any of the claims here are completely made up. For example: _In December 2019, The Sun's political editor, Tom Newton Dunn, wrote an article for the paper titled "Hijacked Labour", alleging that "Jeremy Corbyn is at the centre of an extraordinary network of hard-left extremists pieced together by former British intelligence officers", a network ranging from Novara Media contributor Ash Sarkar to French philosopher Michel Foucault, who has been dead since 1984, that is alleged to be pulling Corbyn's strings.[204] It was later found that the ultimate sources for this claim included the antisemitic, far-right websites The Millennium Report and Aryan Unity._ [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sun_(United_Kingdom)#Far-right_conspiracy_incident https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sun_(United_Kingdom)#Far-r...

Look up NYTimes and yellow cake. Oh wait that doesn't fit your narrative. Oh well. I'm sure you have some explanation for why one is better then the other and it's a totally valid non partisan, non bias, totally fair minded reason. hN is just full of highly propagandized group thinkers.

  I'm not understanding the case you're making. The most notable action by the NYT on yellowcake (the main citation in the Wikipedia article) was publishing the op-ed by Joe Wilson indicating that the evidence that Iraq was trying to buy yellowcake was forged. To me, that story has considerable resonance with the lab leak theory, in both cases certain factions within US intelligence trying to push the theory hard, and releasing "evidence" through indirect sources that cannot readily be verified. In the lab leak case, a major part of that role was played by the Wall Street Journal, which published the account of 3 Wuhan lab workers hospitalized in November 2019[1]. The part of Joe Wilson basically being played by Christopher Ashley Ford, in a letter cited elsewhere in this thread.

  This is whataboutism, as well as ad hominem. I accurately stated that a source was not a reliable one (it’s a British tabloid, my nan who survived the war knows this but I provided an example of evidence). > hN is just full of highly propagandized group thinkers. Rationalism and evidence.

> From Wokepedia, the far-left encyclopedia No, thanks, anything right-wing is blatant bogeyman there. Also, is their label for things they don't like. Guess what is their very first most important paragraph on their depiction of right values? Yes, it is anti-communism XD
