Stupid biased headline. Alternate headlines that have different biases.

  • White man pleads guilty to possessing child pornography.
  • Utah man pleads guilty to possessing child pornography.
  • Utah citizen pleads guilty to possessing child pornography.
  • Unemployed man pleads guilty to possessing child pornography. (not sure if the guy is actually unemployed)

None of the above are as click-baity which is why they weren't chosen.

Biased? Was he not a member of Patriot Front?

[-] duckpunch@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Seems that he is a member, but you may be missing my point. This is the equivalent of a headline that reads - "Black man steals from store". The goal of writing such a headline is to make certain people click through and give it their attention.

He is also a Utah citizen, etc. Why would they choose to emphasize that one aspect? I'm not suggesting that Patriot Front members are more or less likely to plead guilty to possessing child pornography. I have no idea about that, but this article is subtly hinting that.

Actually, it is extremely relevant to the story that this person was a member of a terrorist group that is for implementing theocracy, repealing the rights of women and queer folk, and accusing their political enemies pedophilia.

Hm. Seems like the interface ate my comment? Let me try again.

I don't see how that's relevant.

However, if your point is that this person is prominent enough (due to his misdeeds) to the point where stories like this are newsworthy, then sure, that's a fair point. I hadn't heard of him prior, but obviously it doesn't mean others hadn't.

Only comments on account are defending a pedophile, white supremacist terror organization. Not sus at all.

[-] duckpunch@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Yep, cause a mass migration from Reddit didn't just happen.

Not sure how you interpreted what I was saying as defending a pedophile.

Genuine question - which part of what I said did you interpret as me defending a pedophile?

Please go back to reddit.

Actually, just please stop using the internet. You are insufferably obnoxious.
