    I didn’t attack the source. I just pointed out that someone posting more than most on lemmy could push a certain point of view using any and all sources if they cherry pick.

      Wow, that’s a new one. “I can’t question the legitimacy of the source so I’ll question the legitimacy of the poster as a way of refusing to engage with reality”

        That’s certainly quotes around a lot of things I didn’t say. I admit I need to do a better job seeing past my own biases.

        I also admit OPs posting pattern is materially irrelevant to the contents of the Washing Post article on its own. I was just pointing out a larger pattern within the c/worldnews community as a whole. In that context someone with an agenda can have influence.

        But I’m not sure why I did. They seem like a nice person and post good faith articles. This was probably a misaimed shot on my part, true or not.
