“The Washington Examiner is an American conservative news outlet based in Washington, D.C., that consists principally of a website and a weekly printed magazine. It is owned by Philip Anschutz through MediaDC, a subsidiary of Clarity Media Group.”

Not sure what that has to do with the article.
Do you post the history of every news organization that lists pro-democrat articles as well?
You realize that this political news community is not only for posting pro-Democratic Party news, right? Were you under the impression that only pro-democratic party news was allowed?
This community celebrates diversity of thoughts and opinions.
If you feel that this news article, or that the news organization that it comes from, break the rules of this community, please contact the mods and let your thoughts be known.
Pointing out a source's bias is completely reasonable. There's literally a bot doing it using MBFC already. I already know that the Washington Examiner is a conservative rag, but others might not. It's perfectly within bounds to include that in the discussion of the post.
If anything, it's kind of weird how defensive you got when someone pointed it out.
Ok, and do you do that for the pro-democrat articles? I mean, since you are being so fair and all.
I'm not defensive, as I didn't write the article, nor do I work for that news org.
It's just that I noticed that you don't do it for pro-democrat articles, but maybe i missed where you have.
So have you been doing it for the news orgs that skew pro-democrat bias? Because you do realize that media bias goes both directions, right? You know, since it's "It’s perfectly within bounds to include that in the discussion" of posts and all.
And again, this is a political news community, not just a pro-democrat/pro-harris political community.
He's free to discuss this article any way that he thinks is interesting. Just because he found it helpful to point out the bias in this case doesn't obligate him to do it in any other cases. He doesn't owe you anything.
Also, responding to someone noting the reputation of your source with what amounts to "ARE YOU ACCUSING ME OF BREAKING THE RULES? ARE YOU SAYING CONSERVATIVE LEANING SOURCES ARE ILLEGAL?” is basically the textbook definition of a wildly defensive response lmao.
Agreed. He's totally free to do that.
And I'm free to let him know that I didn't think it really added to the conversation. Which I did.
So you would you be totally cool with me going down every single pro-harris article and giving a brief history of how that news org leans democrat?
How long do you think I could do that before being accused of being a troll?
Should we list the bias of every news org for every article? Or just the ones you all don't like? Cuz I'm cool with doing that if you are.
Go for it
K, and I'll be sure to put links to this conversation so that everyone knows that you thought this was an awesome idea too!
