When you so badly want to outrage others, you can find things to cause others to be so badly be outraged.
This meme is as bad as the “man in the street” interviews that only show you the side they want you to see.

EDIT: there’s tons of more articles just like this one.
You're the one doing the man in street thing though. The post's point holds up statistically yours doesn't https://theintercept.com/2024/01/09/newspapers-israel-palestine-bias-new-york-times/
One of your examples was from 2021, before the current conflict. It doesn’t help your argument that you have to go back so far to find examples.
Hope’s the only thing that keeps me going. Thanks for helping me raise awareness about the genocide in Gaza.
You’re too ignorant to discuss this shit with. Go away.
It’s my post. Kinda difficult to leave.
Walk away kiddo.
I’m in a car, miles from home. That would be unwise.
As has been pointed out to you before- many times…
How is it that you’ve managed to have the unpopular opinion on a site that’s dominated by socialist propaganda? You seem to embarrass both yourself, and your cause with everything you say.
Just stop man. It’ll be better for everyone.
Is the goal to be popular? Did I miss that in the sidebar for the instance?
My goal is to fight misinformation and groupthink. If that makes me unpopular, so be it.
Your unpopular TAKE on a site full of people that share the same ideology as you. How badly can one fuck up to manage that?
Seriously… just reevaluate your entire stance on things and stop embarrassing yourself here.
I don't know you, but your personality sucks.
I don’t know you, and I don’t care.
It would be a really wise move to work on that.
What part of “I don’t know you and don’t care,” led you to believe that your advice carries any weight here?
Ap and Reuters are more reputable journalists, but most of the ""news"" is broadcast by spin sites like CNN/fox/MSNBC/whatever crap
Proceeds to show international news wires and international sources to show neutrality, thus steel manning the outrageous meme.
Edit: Find a NY Times or Washington Post next time to invalidate the meme.
SHUSH.

You asked me to show a NYT article, I did- and now you don’t like it.
My god this is so embarrassing for you.
One of them was really good. The Wash. Post article was great too. Thanks for taking the time.
ROFL! Not a single unbiased source among them. But it’s a good insight into where you get your programming from.
no such thing as an unbiased news source. if you think there is, they are fooling you.
So… now you’re going to children’s education sources? Are you 12?
I thought you could use a basic understanding.
Says the kid that whines about shit that he’s not even old enough to vote against.
Media Literacy is helpful at any age.
Manufacturing Consent, or better still Inventing Reality. A five-minute primer: Noam Chomsky - The 5 Filters of the Mass Media Machine
I may disagree with some of Chomsky’s views, but Manufacturing Consent should be read in every high school in America.
I think Chomsky & Parenti are intentionally kept out of the new, post-Trump media literacy curricula, because it would make people too literate. Just consider who was involved in crafting it.

What does steel manning mean in this context?
A stronger version of an argument that one is about to critically analyze.
