Thank you, got it. Just different thinking behind how to post those things that got me caught off guard. I was asking to avoid wasting time on something I would have to fact check.

My thinking when posting is that if I post something here I either want to know other people’s opinion on it or to be called out on it being wrong. I usually post sources I trust to be factually correct majority of time, regardless of bias. I don’t flag them for bias since it’s something that’s hard to avoid entirely. Most biased stuff I post is from financial mags that have this neoliberal vampire vibe but you have to love them for how good they are at their jobs due to all the competitiveness in the area.

Beehaw is one of the few/only places on the Internet which can weigh up the opposing perspectives without resorting immediately to ad hominems.
