Louder, for those in the back:
A lot of #Resistance people are being played.
Occupy Democrats, Palmer Report, AlterNet, Wonkette, etc. They are the left equivalent of Newsmax, Fox News, OAN, Federalist et al. All are hyper-partisan outrage mills who misrepresent or exaggerate facts to gain page views which equals money.
Just because it matches with your political views doesn't mean it's accurate. Think for yourself, and dig deeper on your sources.
@voltronic Yes! And a reminder that CNN has since made a sharp turn to the right under new ownership this year (after this chart was made), and that Reuters has some ties to Russian TASS that has made it less trustworthy regarding Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
@peeppeepcircus
I actually had forgotten about the Reuters TASS business. Thank you.
@peeppeepcircus
Ugh. That's one of the few news orgs I enjoyed following on the bird.
@voltronic same, they had some great photographers covering the wildfires in California too.
@voltronic @peeppeepcircus I might have this wrong,but I thought I read that Reuters had severed their connection with TASS right after the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine
@voltronic @Mendips62 I *thought* I had also seen Reuters spread Tass reporting on Ukraine more than once since March, but following the war for 9 months is a lot.
@voltronic and unfortunately the TASS connection affects AFP (Agence France-Presse) too.
