Stormy Daniels also insisted she did NOT have an affair with Trump. Kind of worth mentioning Politoco? Oh guess not if your a propaganda rag rather than about journalism.
Old lawyer saying: If the facts are on your side then pound on the facts. If the law is on your side then pound on the law. If neither are on your side then pound on the table.
Demonizing a country is very different than not trusting the person in charge. Only a fool trusts either Putin or Zelenskyy. And only a fool accepts the false dichotomy that to not trust one makes you a partisan for the other.
NYT takes a picture of a couple people going through the motions of a Jewish tradition...and wants its readers to extrapolate it to some kind of generization.
I simulated the chance of dying at an age as a percent of that age with a quick python script. Out of a 1000 simulated people only one made it to 37. Nobody happened to make it to 38.
But on whether Israel actually attacked Iran or whether the story from an obscure source is fake or not...wouldn’t checking ANY mainstream news source be the first logical thing to check even if they are super Left and woke like MSNBC etc?
Common sense is a wonderful thing. It allows those who use it to determine when reporting from a corporate network is likely reliable and when it is not. I would trust even CNN or MSNBC in this context. In other contexts, for instance trusting them to fairly and accurately cover some political controversy or something Trump is a accused of, obviously only an idiot would trust them.
For the sake of your shallow vanity in not being able to admit you made a mistake, I hearby divorce myself from common sense and assume the false dichotomy that a network must be completely free from all political and corporate biases in order for their reporting on a huge non-controversial event to possibly be true.
