    All very well and good but the story is based on a video. I just watched it. The reporting in this case seems totally fine.

    Not defending New York Post generally or especially not Murdoch, but bad sources can still run legit stories sometimes.

    Edit: not directed at you, I’m sure you weren’t disputing this. Just for the record

      A) I don’t trust anything from any Murdoch outlet, including the Post.

      B) Bias also shows in what stories they decide to cover, and which ones they don’t. For example, the New York Post ran ten different stories yesterday about anti-Semitism, and nine the day before. They’ve also run exactly one story on Islamophobia in the past week.

      Not directed at you, I just wish people would stop pushing stories from dubious outlets, it just amplifies the bullshit the outlets want you to pay attention to while distracting you from the stuff they want you to ignore. And it gives them traffic and revenue, which just encourages them to do more of it.

      Except they accepted her story without any qualifications or explanations that Zionism has fuck all to do with semitic languages.

      Congrats to the NY Post for truthful reporting! I’ll be the first to admit i didn’t see this coming
