Overall, we rate Western Journal Right Biased based on story selection that strongly favors the right and Mixed for factual reporting due to a few failed fact checks.

Of course you could also just provide a link to a real news site.

I am not saying this story is not true. I am saying that you are falling for a propaganda site

I'm not sure why you think the Right has some billionaire Soros type figure to push expensive propaganda? Mostly I've just seen Psyop groups that appear right wing and make bold yet fake claims in order to disparage Right leaning people.

The story checks out as well as anything these days with sources originating in local news outlets and an NBC affiliate.

And, mediabiasfactcheck / snopes tier type sites are sponsored by billionaire Soros type figures to help push propaganda. Please avoid referencing these kind of shady sites as some bulletproof evidence to prove an argument or statement.

So your cite is The Voices in Your Head?

If you want to say something is your opinion, knock yourself out. If you want to say something is a fact you should be able to provide a cite.

Because clicking buttons is hard? Go to the article and click the local news station sources in it, then search engine the keywords in that original source then you will get the other local news and NBC affiliate headlines.

I'm not going to spoonfeed you. Was doing a favor by confirming the story to save you some clicks in the first place.

[–]Nemacolin 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Exactly. It is not so hard. Please provide a cite.

Dude, this isn't reddit things don't usually devolve like this.

...and unless he wrote the article linked at the top, it clearly isn't the voices in his head.

You can and should challenge the credibility of a news source, but use facts not just parrot what some else wrote on a website. Fake news and propaganda can go both ways.

Can either of you truly and factually confirmed that which site is propaganda other than using a wall of text and logical fallacies?

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Why no both?

Seems like each points the finger at the other accusing the other of being propaganda. They might both be right. The number of "fact checkers" that poped up in recent years as a means of pushing a narrative is disturbing.

The number of "fact checkers" that poped up in recent years as a means of pushing a narrative is disturbing.

The even more disturbing thing is that people actually believe in these "fact checkers"

Seems to me posting links to flaky web sites drags down the conversation. If what you say it true you ought to be able to link to a standard, respected news site.

[–]Jesus 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Not about news sites but about primary sources. Does proof exist? Is there a raw video????

[–]useless_aether[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (7 children)

and it seems to me, you are posting soros backed propaganda outlets:

you used ap, abc, nbc, huffpo sources for your posts to saidit. to make things worse, ad absurdum, you also post cnn links! that's very bad..

Soros, who spent $27 million trying to defeat President Bush in 2004, has ties to more than 30 mainstream news outlets - including The New York Times, Washington Post, the Associated Press, NBC and ABC.

...

ProPublica is new and prominent, but it's far from the only Soros-funded organization that is stacked with members of the supposedly neutral press. The Center for Public Integrity is another great example. Its board of directors is filled with working journalists like Amanpour from ABC, right along side blatant liberal media types like Arianna Huffington, of the Huffington Post and now AOL.

So you figure the AP cannot be trusted. Cool. Which news sources do you find reliable?

[–]Jesus 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

None, they are all controlled. The alternative controlled opposition outlets, at least the majority are also controlled too. It is more about reading AP, and Reuters and alternative sources with matchstick conciousness. So you must understand the tactics of psyops and perception management. If you can train your brain to do this, you won't be fooled. But research psyops and perception management.

[–]Nemacolin 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Wow.

[–]Jesus 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

wow.

[–]useless_aether[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

me personally? non-msm, non-soros/rothschild owned, non-communist sources. sources that are for america, for conservatism, for traditional values and againts the united nations and globalization for example.

but you are missing the point, about the pyramid of debate, don't ever forget that! this is the second time we are having this conversation.

[–]Jesus 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Like what though?

Many so-called alternative news sources advocate for Putin, oddly enough and or are Zionist and promote Inter(nationalism) like Joffe does.

[–]Nemacolin 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Whatever.
