As a general rule, never trust Liberal news for anything.
Never trust news from a single source/political sphere, no.
That sounds good in theory, but keep in mind that 99% of English-language news sources are liberal ones.
Et alors, j'etudais Francaise! Attend...
There is a lot of left-leaning content available in French! They have a lot of scholars and thinkers who are openly leftists, and in Europe it will not scare anyone.
But my single source got his producer illegally arrested by the NSW gestapo and his house firebombed by criminal gangs. I'd say pissing off the powerful to that extent earns some trust.
Is your single source of news Boy Boy??
Jordan Shanks, but I also follow Boy Boy as of recently.
I believe a similar thing happened to Boy Boy after their laundering money in casinos thing actually.
I just considered them "firebombed by association". Jordan's collaboration with them can be interpreted as an endorsement, and I trust Jordan because he got firebombed.
Oh okay so it's the same incident. I've been having the confusions for like a week and I was thinking "it happened twice?!"
Are you suggesting CNN is liberal? Like, seriously?
From a political science perspective (and for most people outside the USA), most of the US has liberalist ideology, including Republican voters. The electoral system is called a liberal democracy. The country rallying cry is for "freedom"; liberty.
US mass media simply started calling progressive liberalism "liberalism", conservative liberalism "conservativism", and classical liberalism "libertarianism". It's silly and confusing, but it's the world we're in right now.

I'm sorry, I realize I was a bit ambiguous so please allow me to correct myself.
CNN is so fucking liberal. Better?
Do you snort it or take it in the arm?
Trumps a pedo ya fuck
You are correct, but you failed to understand the comment you are replying to.
Yeah you got me, I misunderstood the post. I just wanna see the entire GOP swinging from a tree then I'll worry about the fuckin pussy libs. In my eyes that what happened last election, other than elon owning the company that counts the votes. I'd prefer to get rid of extremists first, then I'll deal with that lump of wasted votes. In any case, eat the wealthy, skull fuck the gop, drink from their skulls
Most of the people on Lemmy that hate on liberals are leftists. That's why you see a lot of solidarity and support for Cuba here, there are a ton of communists this side of Lemmy in particular.
Im assuming the user is not a right winger, but instead a communist or anarchist.
Both hate liberals, but they are very different ideologies.
