Putin has no fifth column strategy. All this Putler nonsense is Western propaganda. It’s projection. He’s not a great guy, but he’s also not leading a fascist movement. And anyway, Russia has negligible ability to influence the Western electorates, despite propaganda to the contrary.
Your words weren’t left, don’t try to hide behind us
Judging by the modlog, you wouldn’t recognize an actual left perspective if it bit you in the ass.
Of all the examples of media bias you could have chosen, this is the most tepid.
You’re right, we should stop aiding & abetting genocide, not to mention all our other violations. We should also stop projecting our penchant for genocide onto other countries.
Those aren’t my words; it’s a quote from the article.

No, that’s not the root problem, either. Monopoly capitalism is not just “human nature.”
I literally just told you why: imperialism and settler-colonialism. Religion is not the reason, it’s the excuse, the justification rationalization.
If you waved a magic wand and made the whole world atheist, nothing would materially change, because this isn’t about religion, it’s about imperialism and settler-colonialism.
This really needs a “/s”. It’s vitally important to not leave open an antisemitic interpretation to Poe’s Law.
Apparently they failed three fact checks on mediabiasfactcheck.com

Dave M. Van Zandt obtained a Communications Degree before pursuing a higher degree in the sciences. >Dave currently works full time in the health care industry. Dave has spent more than 20 years as an arm chair researcher on media bias and its role in political influence.
Van Zandt is some hobbyist who was in the right place at the right time: the “post-truth” moment of Clinton’s loss to Trump and the string of Russiagate conspiracy theories and Kellyanne Conway’s alternative facts and the Cambridge Analytica hysteria.
The whole concept of the “left” or ”right“ “bias” being inversely correlated with factualness is garbage. These kinds of graphs, which try to convince us that centrism equals factualness, are garbage:
The core bias of corporate media is the bias of the capitalist class, but people like Van Zandt don’t seem to understand this.
The inner workings of corporate media were explained about forty years ago in Inventing Reality and Manufacturing Consent.

I said “these kinds of graphs,” of which there are many https://duckduckgo.com/?q=media+bias+chart&iax=images&ia=images
But you’ve sparked an idea for an interesting project: use MBFC’s API to create one of these graphs from t>heir own data. Doing a little googling, it seems that scripts and data dumps aren’t hard to come by.
I think armchair media analyst Dave M. Van Zandt is going on vibes. I don’t think he understands corporate & think tank media. Does he know who Walter Lippman or Edward Bernays were, or what the Council on Foreign Relations (“least biased” 🤡) is or made note of its prominent media members? Does he know about the Powell memorandum or the Trilateral Commission’s report, The Crisis of Democracy?

.I’ve seen The Grayzone debunk the New York Times’ lies many times, and yet:
Also, in what universe is the neoliberal, anti-labor NYT center-left? And if the Grayzone in the ultraviolet territory, where does that leave the explicitly Communist Monthly Review, outside of MBFC’s Overton window? Surprise, it’s to the right of it:

The first step is to understand the media, which Media Bias/Fact Check and the Ad Fontes Media are never going to teach you. The only people who are taught it are those who get degrees in marketing, public relations, political science, history, and journalism; and even then only some of them.
The new post-Trump/“post-truth” media literacy curricula won’t teach it to you either, because it was paid for and crafted by the US military-industrial complex: New Media Literacy Standards Aim to Combat ‘Truth Decay’.
This week, the RAND Corporation released a new set of media literacy standards designed to support schools in this task.
The standards are part of RAND’s ongoing project on “truth decay”: a phenomenon that RAND researchers describe as “the diminishing role that facts, data, and analysis play in our political and civic discourse.”
None of it is a secret, though, and it can be learned.
Thomas Fazi, who is concerned about the far-right, is using far-right talking points while citing right-wing outlets you’ve never heard of.
You’re right, that’s actually pretty awful and sounds like BS.
Not to imply that all other European neo-Nazis are teddy bears by any stretch, but there are concrete reasons to take the Ukrainian neo-nazis very seriously.
Thirty years of shrugging off promises, agreements, and red lines is how we got to 90 seconds to midnight.
To be fair, it’s easier said than done. Israel’s protector & enabler has over 900 overseas military bases; a global nuclear arsenal; one of the largest international trading footprints; and veto power at the UN Security Council, the World Bank, and the IMF.
Not according to the Council on Foreign Relations, the Bilderberg Group, or the Trilateral Commission, that’s for sure.

I’m still doing no such thing, while you, by comparing this to the holocaust, are perpetuating the myth that all of the protesters and all of the rioters were innocent bystanders who were mowed down indiscriminately.
Apple employees lack class consciousness. They don’t understand that they too are working class, because they too have to sell their labor to survive. You can be pro-choice, pro-LGBTQ+, pro-DEI, etc. while still being oblivious to the class war.
