NYPost isnt news
Yeah people clearly going out of their way to use shit-tier article sources. Seen it alot lately. Really, I don't care what Fox News and the like has to say about anything happening.
Unfortunately people aren't going out of their way for shit tier news. They believe these sources of articles stand with equal footing with average normal news outlets. Responses to my comments prove that.
Yes it is. I just read this article there.
Oh! You mean you don't like it. Doesn't matter. It's still a popular news site. You certainly aren't required to read it though.
Ok, you're right. I wasnt very specific. New York post is as much of a news source as National Enquirer, or Farmers Almanac. Which really isnt my speed. I prefer more serious, more accurate sources of news.
Well, I do like the National Enquirer. It was much more fun in the 1980s though. But no, I disagree with you.
Actually you're mad because of it's politcal leanings, regardless of content. This news item about the shooting is reported on by lots of news orgs.
Your free to hate on a news org and not read it. But to say it's not a news org because you don't like it's political slant isn't something I can take seriously. (And no, I am not Republican, just in case you were planning to go there next.)
Did you read anything in this article that you found to be untrue?
I mean new york post, so take it for what it is. They managed to describe a conservative gun nut while only using the word conservative once. Way to make a mass murderer look sympathetic!
I don't think the shooter came out sympathetic at all
Youre probably not a conservative nut. I realize my comment might be easily misread. I did not mean to imply that i thought him sympathetic, but that others of the same political leanings might.
Okay, thanks for the clarification, but I don't think anyone, regardless of political leaning, is going to be okay with some dude walking into an In-N-Out restaurant and just shooting and killing people. Saying it somehow trivializes the situation because you don't like a certain political party seems pretty messed up to me.
You're free to feel however you want politically, but man, I think that's kind of lame. These people were literally at work or just grabbing some food, and they got murdered. There's nothing cool, funny, or political about that. It's just horrible.
Not everything is Republicans vs Democrats. I know Lemmy feels that way, but brother, you're are just adding to that fire.
