    1. The poster who submitted this has some sort of pro South China Morning Post (SCMP) agenda. So this post is likely some sort of attempt to normalize that newspaper.

    2. I personally want Russia to lose their imperialist war and I want Trump to lose his election, but even with my biases this article is a huge stretch.

      If you’re going to condemn a source, please provide evidence of cases where they have misreported in the past on similar issues.

      For example, you could point to the New York Times’ article by Anat Schwartz as evidence that the New York Times has pro-Israel bias.

        i am not commenting on the source. Just pointing out a strange pattern of behavior that I think should be noted. If look around on Lemmy you will see certain accounts that are weirdly into very specific sites.

        If you look at the original posters account history you will see the same “very into a specific site” pattern.

          Are you saying that people should be reading EVERY news site and then post what they see from any and all sites that make good content? How do you recommend they do that labor, use a news aggregator? Are you daft? This is how news aggregation works!!! Some individuals with real lives become deep consumers of a few specific news sources, select the best content they find and submit to aggregators like Lemmy. You and I benefit from 2 dozen of these people, each with only a handful of news sites they can review in their limited time and because there’s 2 dozen of them we get news from 30 - 50 news sites in our feed.

        Lol that’s like asking for evidence that the daily mail is a tabloid.

        NYT is just a mouthpiece of the US empire, but SCMP is the official forum for china to troll english language speakers.

            Lotta talk from someone using big words like complacency without knowing what they mean.

            Your account is almost a week old, and posts pretty much only news articles from this site, along a few other random sites with seemingly no favoritism towards any of them except for this one and not even commenting up until a day ago.

            But okay, I guess you can try and gaslight everyone here into thinking that’s normal behavior somehow.

            Let me make a lemmy account to only repost links to news sites all day every day for… fun?

            Sure.

              Exactly. They get all huffy and upset and defensive, but in the end the record speaks for itself.

              No matter what they say or rant about their post history shows the truth.

              Fun fact. They could prove me wrong by deleting the posts or not favoring one specific site, but they won’t because that’s why they’re here in the first place.

                I’m not gonna plant my feet in any one position because there really isn’t enough info to convict per se, but I fully agree that this account is odd in their posting nature and it definitely seems like they’ve got a hard on for this site specifically but apparently not all of their “content” is showing up for me for some reason.

                I’m guessing it’s because it’s in defederated communities or something like that.

                  Fair. I edited my last comment in this chain to be more fair. It’s a trend I noticed on Lemmy though. Very specific people are extremely enthusiastic about very specific sites. I’ve seen it for RT quite a bit as well.

                My sibling in christ I replied to you with an “Lmfao”. Is that too “huffy and upset and defensive” for you?

              There is a point to be made though ig about reading too many things from the same outlet ig, even if it’s generally reliable.

              They could’ve just said that instead of being weirdly condescending about it, when not being an active user themselves.
