Thanks for your response. Why do you think Facebook is wrong? Honest question.

What is your point? What are you trying to say? Fox and CNN are not the same, whatever flaws CNN does have.

You are correct that no one is perfect all the time. Nonetheless sites like Politifact still provide pretty accurate fact-checking more often than not. The New York Times will be more reliable than the National Enquirer, and will (eventuall

I don’t think that is true. I’m not defending CNN, I’m calling out Fox. Fox is pretty bad. Really bad.

Curious if any downvoters believe it was appropriate for the DNI to release the unverified Hillary Clinton info, weeks before the election? Do folks think that was a responsible, appropriate act for the Director of National Intelligence in

We have to agree to disagree. I’ve found Lawfare to be thoughtful, diligent, and reputable. If you could share a specific article you had issue with I’d be curious to see it.

What's a good example of this misinformation? Oh, and Trump is a serial liar who has spread really damaging lies via twitter ... numerous times.

Oh wait - this is the DNI that recently released unverified information about Hillary Clinton a few weeks before the election coming up. https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-dni-john-ratcliffe-dec... 'Andrew Weiss, a

Gotcha. Thanks for the feedback. Sounds like I should have watched/read the interview : ( Though it's not related to the issue at hand I still recommend checking out Lawfare : ).

tl;dr IMHO this is the Hacker News version of a New York Times Op-ed article, in both the good and bad sense. IMHO this article is a lot of very well-argued, rational suppositions and hypotheticals. It's an op-ed piece masquerading as

Harris was a progressive superstar? And Fox News is propaganda ... it's not a good thing for any news organization to be like that - regardless of the media environment as a whole.

You're right that PBS is dependent on government funding, as would a publicly-funded browser. But look at the title of the article you yourself shared: "PBS STATEMENT: Trump Administration Proposes Elimination of Federal Funding f

We're talking to each other now. Do you believe the President of the United States spoke in a responsible fashion? Do you believe his words were responsible, prudent, and appropriate to the moment?

Interesting - thanks for your response. If I'm understanding correctly, do you mean you hope for your primary customer base to be community organizers and member-based communities?

If Openland is VC-funded, my first question is what is to stop Openland from eventually introducing ads, invasive practices regarding user data, etc, in order to maximize it's investor's return? In other words, why should we belie

A public benefit corporation could go ahead and hire developers and incentivize them with money just like every other organization. And what you describe is not how PBS works.

Sure. Do you think what the President actually said - not my paraphrasing of it - was responsible and appropriate under the circumstances? Did he demonstrate good judgement? Also, again, I think you’re constructing an issue where none exist

Do you think the President of the United States spoke in a responsible fashion? That’s what matters.

So basically you are saying “the President of the United States did not say the totally crazy thing you said he did, rather, he said something less crazy which was both incomprehensible and totally irresponsible.” Is that correct? I say it

It is incredibly irresponsible for the President of the United States (or of any country) to speculate about obviously questionable practices like injecting disinfectant in the midst of a global pandemic and a national emergency.
