All of this is true but there is still unbiased journalism in the world. I can't speak for America but I trust, for example, the BBC.
- tomohawk 4y agoGiven that the BBC uncritically went with many of the debunked stories listed by Taibbi here, and did not apologize or retract the stories, the evidence is not compelling that the BBC is unbiased.
- ohiovr 4y agoAll media for foreign consumption has an axe to grind but I still trust Wion over every source in the USA that gets posted to HN that is inline with a narrative. The narrative to invoke Article 5 would have become the death of hundreds of millions of people. If it weren't for a Polish farmer's photograph we'd be dead.
- bandyaboot 4y agoLuckily the media isn’t in charge of invoking Article 5. Taken as a whole, the response from NATO was pretty measured. There’s no reason to believe that absent a Polish farmers photograph that NATO was about to assume the worst and throw down.
- ohiovr 4y agoIt was going to be balls to the wall until that PHOTO. There was a plan and it failed! Look how many people were saying this is it, thats all we need. Where are those stories? Right next to the ones saying SBF is a great man! This is going to happen again and next time we might not be lucky enough to know the truth before death rains down on us.
- bandyaboot 4y agoWhat actual NATO decision makers were suggesting that they knew what had happened and that the response was going to be “balls to the wall”?
- ohiovr 4y agoEvery comment on HN. Every comment on Youtube. Please refer to webster's word of the year. Have a good day.
- bandyaboot 4y agoGaslighting. Is that when someone pretends not to understand a key part of a question being asked of them because they know they don't have a good answer? Or is that something else?
- simonblack 4y agoThe BBC? LOL. The BBC has been famous for broadcasting everything the British Government tells it to for nearly a century, since the 1930s. Like all Government-funded media the world over, they know that their existence depends on saying what they are told to say. Or else.
