You're the one doing the man in street thing though. The post's point holds up statistically yours doesn't https://theintercept.com/2024/01/09/newspapers-israel-palestine-bias-new-york-times/
One of your examples was from 2021, before the current conflict. It doesn’t help your argument that you have to go back so far to find examples.
Hope’s the only thing that keeps me going. Thanks for helping me raise awareness about the genocide in Gaza.
It’s my post. Kinda difficult to leave.
I’m in a car, miles from home. That would be unwise.
Is the goal to be popular? Did I miss that in the sidebar for the instance?
My goal is to fight misinformation and groupthink. If that makes me unpopular, so be it.
I don't know you, but your personality sucks.
It would be a really wise move to work on that.
Ap and Reuters are more reputable journalists, but most of the ""news"" is broadcast by spin sites like CNN/fox/MSNBC/whatever crap
Proceeds to show international news wires and international sources to show neutrality, thus steel manning the outrageous meme.
Edit: Find a NY Times or Washington Post next time to invalidate the meme.
Here’s my list:

EDIT: there’s tons of more articles just like this these.
One of them was really good. The Wash. Post article was great too. Thanks for taking the time.
no such thing as an unbiased news source. if you think there is, they are fooling you.
I thought you could use a basic understanding.
Media Literacy is helpful at any age.
Manufacturing Consent, or better still Inventing Reality. A five-minute primer: Noam Chomsky - The 5 Filters of the Mass Media Machine
I may disagree with some of Chomsky’s views, but Manufacturing Consent should be read in every high school in America.
I think Chomsky & Parenti are intentionally kept out of the new, post-Trump media literacy curricula, because it would make people too literate. Just consider who was involved in crafting it.

What does steel manning mean in this context?
A stronger version of an argument that one is about to critically analyze.
