  • It depends. I haven't seen those stories. There's a massive gamut of anti-zionists, from reasonable skepticism and criticism of Israel and its actions to full-on antisemitism. I have seen someone else here state that one organization got bad marks for claiming that Israel is engaging in a genocide, which is completely fair since that hasn't been proven.

  • I agree with most of its other ratings though. TBF I never thought to check their rating for RawStory, but the only other rating I disagree with is their rating for Fox News.

  • Why is Raw Story's credibility listed as "high" lol

  • Depends on how poorly they rated them. They definitely deserve negative remarks for that since it's an unproven claim.

  • network television has long accepted that it doesn’t make a profit from its news programming

    WDYM? They're all making money through sponsorships. Even PBS Newshour has sponsors for their segments.

  • Finally! About time.

    A bit ironic that they picked the one network outside of Fox News that seemed the most incensed that they wouldn't speak with the press. Or maybe poetic.

  • Pro Palestinians/Hamas supporters do it occasionally, but you make a good point, it doesn't happen all that often

  • I suspect that broadcast and social media has poisoned the people.

  • I mean, it's called Conservative, with an explicit goal of sharing right wing articles. It's the equivalent of articles about TV shows getting removed from a videogame community.

    Look at the comment sections. People are allowed to say pretty much whatever they want down there.

  • Completely anecdotal, to be fair. I've seen some videos of veterans as well as first generation immigrants complaining about the desecration of the flag.

  • I mostly agree with what you're saying here, with two caveats. Firstly, I don't think that books with sexually explicit images should be able to be checked out by children in libraries. (To be fair to you, I think we both know the current book banning thing goes beyond that.) There's a limited amount of censorship that I do agree with the right on, but it's for edge cases like that. I'm on the right and I oppose this flag burning policy, like I opposed Trump's call to "open up the libel laws" and like I opposed the right wing calls to bring back the fairness doctrine during the Obama administration, as well as flag burning bans that were being called for at the time.

    Secondly, that Satanic Panic stuff was more religious fanaticism than political propaganda, I don't think we've seen the two syncretized to this level in a long time. Just because the religiously zealot nuts are MAGA people today doesn't mean that religious fanaticism has always been tied to the hip with mainstream-ish political activism.

  • They're different, but I don't see that one is less preferable than the other. The Fox News headline includes Harris' name, while CNN omits it and is more specific about why the admin was trying to censor Americans. I don't know that granularity at this scale is anything to split hairs over, honestly.

  • If it's a blacklisted source I'll happily take down the post.

  • Were these cases over on-air statements, their opinion articles, or their news articles?

  • Plenty of normal people care about this, but they're authoritarians if they actually support this policy.

  • I only got it because the college I went to basically made me.
