RULES:


I am looking for mods!


1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

I have read major newspaper in english speaking the world.

The Guardian, The Economist, The Washington Post, The New York Times, The Globe and Mail, The Financial Times...

By and large, the worst is the Wall Street Journal. It's owned by the same family who owns Fox News and The New York Post. A lot of the content is absolute trash.

Leftists keep attacking the New York Times for attacking Israel or being pro-corporations. That's actually the proof they have no idea what they are talking about. I regularly find opinion articles urging sanctions on Israel or stronger laborl laws. I have never seen any of this in the Wall Street Journal.

In my experience, the WSJ is A LOT more pro-israel and a lot more pro-corporations than the NYT. It's not even close.

I mean look at this trash:

What is the origin of the false belief — constantly repeated — that almost all scientists agree about global warming?

There is actually no scientific consensus on global warming

https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052702303480304579578462813553136

There's no compelling scientific argument for drastic action to 'decarbonize' the world's economy.

https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052970204301404577171531838421366

Climate Science is not settled

https://www.wsj.com/articles/climate-science-is-not-settled-1411143565

Global warming doesn't matter. Contrary to the latest news, the evidence that global warming will have serious effects is thin.

President Obama wrote “As a Nation, we must act before it is too late.”

Obama is wrong. There is no reason to act.

It's the worst major newspaper in the english speaking world.

It's the premium version of the New York Post.

People attack NYT because they lowered their publishing standards. Unlike WSJ, which has always been right wing propaganda, NYT was previously a mostly unbiased source of news. As in, they cared whether their reporting was accurate and made sense.

The market reportage is fairly impartial, as befits a paper selling subscriptions to the investor class. The editorials are unhinged.
