  • Damn you post this dumb thing a lot.

    A 2018 year-in-review and prospective on fact-checking from the Poynter Institute (which develops PolitiFact[25]) noted a proliferation of credibility score projects, including Media/Bias Fact Check, writing that “While these projects are, in theory, a good addition to the efforts combating misinformation, they have the potential to misfire,” and stating that “Media Bias/Fact Check is a widely cited source for news stories and even studies about misinformation, despite the fact that its method is in no way scientific.”[26] Also in 2018, a writer in the Columbia Journalism Review described Media Bias/Fact Check as “an armchair media analysis”[27] and characterized their assessments as “subjective assessments [that] leave room for human biases, or even simple inconsistencies, to creep in”.[28]

    Wow that’s pretty damning, almost makes it seem like someone using this to shut down conversations by claiming media outlets are unreliable could be acting in bad faith. Like some kind of pro-Western, pro-Israel ideologue.





  • Some jackass once said:

    Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies.

    Let’s see if he was right, you said:

    You seem to think my view is that “all religious people have the same beliefs”. It’s not.

    But no, here’s what I think your view is:

    Are you saying that Judaism is an inherently genocidal religion/culture?

    Your response?

    Not any more than other religions, but yes, it’s in the book preached as the word of God and prophets. Israel is what happens when you put bronze age values in practice

    Let me cut out all the weasel words for you

    Yes

    Yes, you think that Judaism is inherently genocidal.

    Fuck you, you antisemitic trash.
