When you say “liberal bias” do you mean “liberal” as in:
(1) The American political self-identity of mild reformist supporters of capitalism?
(2) The international political self-identity of supporters of laissez-faire capitalism?
(3) The pejorative used by much of the right wing for any viewpoint perceived to be to the left of Mussolini?
(4) Or, the pejorative used by much of the left for any viewpoint perceived to be to the right of Chairman Mao?
Because “liberal” is a heavily-overloaded term in politics.
- lenkite 2y agoThere is no big mystery about it. Whatever values the liberal American left hold dear are also applied internationally. Since Modi is a religious, conservative and nationalist leader, obviously he becomes their enemy and gets a long, endless chain of news articles condemning him. Not sure whether their stance was truly value based or you know - whether they were "funded" to have their opinions.
- dragonwriter 2y ago> liberal American left Okay, so you are using the right-wing pejorative sense of “liberal” for “everyone who isn't a fascist”, since in none of the other uses do “liberal American” and ”left” occupy the same space.
- lenkite 2y agoYawn, the usual ridiculous fascist/nazi claims. Congratulations sir! You have been successful in your "Strawman Argument". Basically, the AP is currently a global propaganda organization regardless of whatever labels or position you choose to assume of me. They have developed a bad reputation in nations outside the US/EU too.
- nobankai 2y agoJust for your information: every single American knows Modi regulates news distribution and has tried several times to revoke civil rights entirely. Associated Press doesn't have to demonize Modi, they simply report the truth and the world judges him accordingly.
