According to the "political" meter in this website, this article is "unfair left leaning"
Mannnnnnn, is it unfair to want people with that kind of power to treat communications with respect/thought/security? Why is this even a left/right thing at a fundamental level?
You can vote on its political leaning as a reader without logging in. I just did it myself. I marked it neutral.
So that meter is just showing how the conservative readers’ brains are interpreting actual facts, meaning “facts I don’t like are liberal.” Which…is asinine.
I did this as well. Did you notice after voting it says most votes mark this as "Center/fair" but if you then view the webpage in a private tab it goes back to being "Unfair left leaning" article. I'm guessing Newsweek lock that value? How could it be unfair left leaning if most votes are for neutral....
I did not notice that! Sounds like a deliberate falsification of data that totally furthers the agenda of Newsweek.
Nothing to see here. All is normal and fine. No need to worry.
i went ahead and make it unfair right leaning because I'm a little scamp
If left wing people and normal people mark it neutral, and right wing people mark it far left, the average will be a left bias for the meter. These kinds of "fairness meters" assume everyone is acting in good faith and the right is never acting in good faith.
This is why we can't have nice things.
"Unfair left leaning" just means "true".
That's just the poorly designed default position.
That’s its uninitialized position, I believe
White House officials said they were vindicated by the latest reporting, pointing to an earlier characterization of the discussions as "war plans," language which had now shifted to "attack plans."
So far these have been their arguments in defense of themselves:
Hands up who thinks these are not utterly ridiculous responses!
You forgot
\4. This so-called reporter with a long history of hoaxes faked this entire story.
At least they tried that line before giving up when not even most of their party believed them.
This is the weirdest timeline.
