This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.

This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.

We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.

Holy crap, this guy BrooklynMan:

I’ll start by addressing your second question first: bias isn’t a binary; it exists on a spectrum. there’s a difference between a tiny bit of bias and extreme bias. So, though previous research and experience, I have come to trust some sources more than others and come to expect certain sources to have more or less bias in one direction or another. that, combined with comparative analysis of multiple sources, one can come closer to factual reporting through one’s own critical analysis of the reporting itself-- however, depending on what’s reported and the sources available, sometimes… one can only be so certain that one is getting the truth.

it can be frustrating trying to find accurate reporting of a story, even from previously trusted sources. I encourage people to read their news from multiple sources whose backgrounds they’ve investigated and to critically analyze the facts presented, and that they apply their own critical analysis to try their best to arrive as close as they can to the facts. Also, to realize that, in the world of corporate media, that being certain that the news you’re consuming is 100% accurate my not be possible.

Has anything libbier ever been spewed?

I love how BrooklynMan fundamentally doesn't understand what bias actually is.

Well, yeah. He's a lib. (They found out material reality is biased against liberalism, and so they decided to cancel it).

The conviction that reality has to conform to whatever the mainstream consensus is does seem to be the core of liberal ideology. It's like the whole ideology is premised on the argumentum ad populum.

So does this mean that the Liberals confess to market failure to produce accountable media companies. Liberalism with the free market and democracy (not that they support them outside of lipservice and aesthetics especially in non-European diaspora countries) depends on the perfect information of the people and the ability to use the media to deceive the people will cause failure of the Liberal system. The Liberals also have no excuse to blame the people in Western European diaspora countries for their ignorance since they always blame people in the developing countries for their vulnerability to 'deception' (read willingly follow Communism if fully informed) by Communists.
