- horseRad 2y ago"The Verge has no political bias". Okay, in the same way that wired has no political bias. They're so unbiased yet you know exactly the way an article is slanted towards given the topic and persons. Just like I know the slant given a reddit /r/all post or Fox News/msnbc article.
- s08148692 2y agoI think you'd struggle to find a human on this planet that isn't biased one way or another when it comes to Musk
- tomp 2y agoThey titled the article: The Elon Musk / Donald Trump interview on X started with an immediate tech disaster If they were actually neutral, they'd phrase it more like: with technical difficulties.
- Philpax 2y agoI would consider the widely-publicised event not starting for 40 minutes due to technical issues to be a "tech disaster."
- rpdillon 2y agoTrump called it a disaster when the same thing happened DeSantis, so I don't see a particular bias in play with that particular phrase.
- chrisco255 2y agoTrump is both partisan and biased and doesn't claim to be neutral. Of course he was trashing things to do with his political opponents (he was running against DeSantis in the primary at the time).
- rpdillon 2y agoThanks for the clarification. I should have never commented on anything even remotely political, my bad!
- chrisco255 2y agoVerge editors most definitely are biased as are all humans. Journalists are not neutral. In this case someone made a "99 percent chance" speculative statement and the publication decided to print it as if it were fact and not just dismiss it as coming from someone who knew nothing. We know nothing about the sources, and writers are not above making stuff up. I could just as easily spin it on them: there's a 99 percent chance they made up the sources.
