    Whenever I see an article with something I’m not sure who it’s being pushed by and why, I tend to check the profile.

    If there’s several posts a day but several weeks since they last commented on anything, I usually disregard the article, because I’m too lazy to find out what agenda the account is pushing.

      This is an article in the guardian, a publication I’ve at times read every day. The articles presented as such, as pieces of journalism, speak for themselves in this context usually.

      Now if it’s posting articles feigning concern for Iranian protesters at a time when Israel and their us allies are scheming to restart the Iranian forever war, you advice is prescient, although I don’t usually need much investigation to discount their motive. Even then, the article can stand for itself, we should all be aware at the ways the left aligned media is used and manipulated by those in power, and the guardian is no exception.
