Every time Ed Zitron is mentioned on this site someone shows up with a hateboner, it's getting super old. Everyone has a bias, it's not a crime to let it show.

Everyone has a bias, it's not a crime to let it show. I know it's Silicon Valley's dream to flatten all human experience into emotionless 0s and 1s but they need to knock it off and you need to stop enabling them.
- frompdx 2y agoI fail to see what part of my comment constitutes a "hateboner". Avoiding bias in journalism predates silicon valley by decades, if not centuries.
- s1artibartfast 2y agoDoes this strike you as a source where one would expect unbiased journalism? Does it claim to be such? It strikes me as a personal blog of opinion pieces.
- CatWChainsaw 2y agoBesides clearly being outdated guidance (see election 2024 + "substack is the new journalism"), not even "unbiased" journalism is merely a bland recitation of facts, and there's a world of difference between that, an article with an obvious slant, and straight-up dog-barbecue levels of bullshit and lies. It IS frustrating, beyond frustrating, that Google nuked the web for ad money. The idea that you have to report that by neutrally dictating a string of facts or else forfeit all credibility is stupid.
