Biased? Was he not a member of Patriot Front?

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.

So why are you defending patriot front so hard here? Who cares if a bunch of traitors also looks like pedophiles.

When did I do that?

You're trying to link this to anything but patriot front.

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

I was originally trying to unlink it from everything actually.

But yeah, I suppose that's a fair point. I could see why you would think that even though it wasn't my intention.

My original point is still that it seems click-baity. That is, I don't see how knowing this bit of info helps me make any decisions in my life. Seems pretty sensational and the guy seems like a nobody.

OTOH, I can see how it could drive clicks and engagement (see comment section here).
