[a character sits at their desk, in front of their computers, and complains angrily]
Mainstream media? Unreliable, biased, full of fake news, they keep lying…
You can’t trust them!
[changing to a point of view beind the character allows us to see that their screen is filled with other angry characters that look like the main character]
That’s why I get all my news from angry dudes on social media and men’s right activism podcasts
Left wing people on lemmy do the same thing… so many links posted on news and world news communities is just left wing blogs…
I haven’t found this. In my experience I’ve only gotten articles. Some articles of dubious veracity yet, articles from sources at least making an effort to appear reputable.
Then again I’ve only been using Lemmy on one account so far.
well thats what i’m talking about. Not literal blogs, but opinion websites masquerading as news sites. I dont see how that’s any better than the right wing manosphere trash the comic is criticizing
If those blogs are “unreliable, bias, full of fake news” then, yeah I guess. Again, I haven’t run into those problems with articles on Lemmy.
Could you point me to an example of your experience?
Just go to one of the biggest news communities on lemmy…
If you cant tell the difference between bbc, reuters, the guardian… and publicwitness.wordandway.com (a very highly upvoted link over the last day) then there’s no point in me scouring the whole fediverse trying to prove my point.
And you can all downvote me to hell just to stay in your echo chamber… but you’re no better than the right ring idiots we mock in this comic
Okay. I guess that’s just your opinion then.
Too many times, when an article posted on lemmy shits on the Democrats as a “controlled opposition party” over a recently passed bill, the roll call shows the vast majority of Democrats voted against it. Funny how news articles practically never link to the official congressional page on a bill or its roll call votes.
