For the love of god, listen to some Citations Needed and stop self-congratilating your media literacy because some fucking dork with a website tells you the New York Times and Washington Post aren't biased.

I'd thought that even the most liberal people on nü-Lemmy had at least read some Chomsky (or even watched the documentaries based on his work), but I guess we aren't even there yet.

I think it’s hilarious people are telling me I need some nuance and research, when I’m the one arguing there are differences between these sources and we need to evaluate them individually. And the person I responded to is arguing they’re all the same because, well, Journalism Bad I guess!

For the love of god read the comments before you reply.

If you only consider corporate media and western state-run and state-sponsored outlets to be purveyors of "Journalism," then let me emphatically say yes, Journalism Bad.

I definitely didn't say that.

And yet the examples discussed follow those bounds

I think you're just doubling down on your bad arguments with straw man fallacies now. Move on.

"Bad arguments" is a pretty rich take coming from you. You've done nothing but continually, in defiance of logic and facts, assert total nonsense... and then turn around and claim that I'm the one that has bad arguments.

Literally, at least I have something. All you've got is a mushy, unfactual "enlightened centricism" that says that actually all media and all fact checkers are liars. Which is an utterly moronic take, and as I have demonstrated all over this thread, totally unsupported by actual facts.

"In defense of logic and facts" FTFY.
