Yea I mean, Poynter is a non-profit fact checking and journalism institute... They launched IFCN. Square all those accusations you're seeing around here for me :)

The title poses the claim in question from a neutral standpoint, and presents it's fact checking case in the article. I don't agree with the idea that a controversy is implied simply by doing that, or that there is an open question implied either. That is not apparent to me whatsoever, and I think this is a personal opinion rather than anything concrete. By reading the article, that is confirmed, and the reader also gains a lot of additional information on the matter.

But don't report on those things, because it's irresponsible to do that. It's simply to fill the 24/7 news cycle, not to inform anyone (despite this being a fact checking institute). /s

What is going on in this sub?

It might be beneficial for some to understand the "what" and "why" behind the "no," no?

Thank you. The number of up votes the comments get saying that we shouldn't even bother discussing this are staggering.

Maybe we shouldn't inform the population about this... And any other of Trump's plans since they're so obviously bad they don't need explanation?

Simply irresponsible to not do so, especially after an election where so much of the population were convinced Trump would be better for the economy. If anything we should be working harder to inform people, not looking for reasons to avoid these topics. What if someone saw that RFK would be doing this and saw no counter to his misinformation? Because it's below someone to even discuss?

It's a duty to inform people, and I'm glad poynter is taking the initiative.

Wrong.

Post is about Hamas torturing people. "But what about Israel" is whataboutism.

I will not litigate bad faith arguments with you anymore. And that description of deflation you provided definitely fits your argument. I know this because the original comment makes no mention of "both sides bad." Just Israel. Over.

Yes, by definition it is whataboutism.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whataboutism

Whataboutism or whataboutery (as in "what about ...?") is a pejorative for the strategy of responding to an accusation with a counter-accusation instead of a defense against the original accusation.

Not liking that doesn't make it not whataboutism.

Whataboutism

But they weren't attacking them for their religion right? So then it's not antisemitism? /s

Scary to see this kind of propaganda on Lemmy extend to the real world. People hunting various Jews in the streets and those actions get a pass from users here.

If there was a Democrat who did what Trump did, I'd not hesitate to enforce the law because I was afraid of the consequences.
