Nah, you don't get it. Every news site is biased. The point is whether or not it cites sources and provides context for the story. Which in the case of that story they do so multiple times.

If it takes a site like The Federalist to call all the big boys in the media on their ****, then so be it. If bigger media outlets with bigger audiences are going to say something was tear gas when it wasn't, then you should appreciate that someone even bothered to examine the story in greater detail.

I'm not championing another site, especially since I agree that news sites are biased, but The Federalist might as well be called "The Loud Red Squawking Boomerist" so it still damages the integrity of whatever you're posting. Feel free to call me out if I post a link from "The Blue Bernie Butthole Times".

Well, to put it another way, I may not like The Huffington Post, BuzzFeed, Vanity Fair, whatever -- but I typically examine stories I see them publish (if I happen to see one somewhere) anyway because the journalist or writer in question can have something insightful to say about a particular story.

I prefer to just watch the countless videos of these protests and see for myself. Raw footage for the win.

There's a joke about C-Span and PornHub in there somewhere.

Don't pretend like you do some profound research to check the validity of your sources less we pull up the receipts to your anti-vaxxer's covid conspiracy crock with the only defense being "when YouTube restricts something I pay attention."

You love focussing on the semantics of one detail to pretend it dismantled the whole point.

I didn't see you complaining about the Hitler / Trump pic rostasi shared a few pages ago. Now there's a profound observation that nobody has ever made before.
