Remember how Rebekah Jones became a whistleblower and hero by standing up to Florida fudging their covid numbers? Well, it wasn't true.

Ok so no story needs any actual evidence to claim it's true anymore according to you?

Not even remotely what I said. I've said over and over again that I don't see any reason to believe Rebekah Jones.

You're not actually reading what I'm writing.

Any "bias chart" that ranks Jacobin and CNN as equivalent is either Onion-level satire or made in a laughably inept manner.

I don't know how biased several of those places are, my main reason for posting any of the charts was what "left" and "right" in America mean like hard right is not say pro-slavery, it's far more based on what party you're bias is with/against. And you can tell CNN is heavily biased towards democrats (aka left) from the article I posted in the opening post. And from here where they very begrudgingly try to start giving DeSantis some credit has the following line in the article "He declines most interview requests, including from CNN, even as he frequently appears on Fox News and other propaganda platforms".

Neoliberals vs conservatives oh boy which one will I defend.

point = "I'm not in a thread about whether Jones is untrustworthy or not. I'm in a thread that claims we definitively know she's lying."


How does that become 'no story needs any actual evidence to claim it's true anymore' in your head when it is explicitly making the opposite point?

Not even remotely what I said. I've said over and over again that I don't see any reason to believe Rebekah Jones.

You're not actually reading what I'm writing.

And all the rest of the guff about why we shouldn't trust her, why other articles are shit, etc etc, is completely irrelevant to that. We haven't had any definitive proof.

Oh right because calling the stuff about if she's trustworthy or not guff is totally the same as saying you don't actually believe her thus the claims of her being untrustworthy would have some merit here and be relevant.

Completely irrelevant to the point we've been discussing. You're still just not actually reading what's being written.

IT rather is relevant to the direction the conversation has taken,
