    I wish journalists would stop pulling punches on headlines. “Making up facts” is lying.

      I think we’ll start to see progressives abandoning traditional media companies soon for this as well.

      Even CBC really contorts the headlines in attempts to keep things moderate. I understand there’s a certain need to do keep thing civil but it shouldn’t come at a sacrifice of factual reporting.

        “Start”? Last month I saw a print edition of my local newspaper, serving more than a million people. It was one section, four pieces of paper.

        I feel like moderate and centre are the biggest lies in modern media/politics. It always involves giving the right half of what they want (ultimately everything they want just slower) and giving the left nothing. When the platform is right wing but slower its not moderate its just right wing.

        or alternatively, it’s the right/conservatives that are making things uncivil and bowing to their bullshit is how all civility is lost for good
