i don't think eoin is even stating a dislike for her work, he dislikes her use of the word "disappeared" to refer to getting a 72-hour time out, even if it was bullshit

this is the divide i'm trying to get to the core of. i'm under no delusions about media bias. you're the one who said there was an objective criteria to which news outlets are more facts based, and that objective criteria is determined by a marketing company

yeah that's the primary source of where i hear about stuff for the first time, but that's not the last source for anything because like you said (and i agree) they aren't doing their own reporting on anything

they don't outline anything as objective truth though, nor would i ever think they have any access to objective truth. that's what i'm (still) trying to convey to you

that's just the thing, i don't have a "main news source" because any story i'm interested in hearing about i'll read ten or twelve articles before considering myself informed. i just like the majority report because they highlight stories that interest me, mostly about the supreme court

you just think "this outlet posts stories i like, so it must be good at dealing out objective facts" but that's not how it works. at all. and it's dangerous to think this way.

i'm not certain why you have this built up in your head that any news story could be objective. the wording itself is based on an opinion. the decision to tell one part of a story but not a second part is based on an opinion. the emphasis on certain aspects over others is entirely opinion.

the point i've been trying my hardest to convey to you is that the things you think of as objective are not objective, and you keep doing it.

the difference is you think the editor of the new york times isn't hiding stories from you because of their many pulitzers, but this is patently untrue given the decision to hold the 2004 NSA warrantless wiretapping story. that decision in itself is a bias. as is the decision to run any story.

this is why it's silly to insist any major outlet is "objectively" better to handle any specific story. they're all going to give their perspective on it. and you sort of amalgamate those perspectives and it gives you a better understanding of their internal biases

again this is all subjective, but their contention is usually that there is a larger story to be told than the one being told by those outlets. but sometimes it's that they're actually publishing outright lies, as they did in their story Screams Without Words

all the way back to the holocaust, they've been more or less the propaganda arm of the american government. israel-palestine is simply the latest effort in that neverending propaganda war.

it's important to acknowledge the bizarre editorial decisions throughout recent years (like employing Judith Miller at all, and spiking the story about warrantless wiretapping by the NSA before the 2004 election), but also understand their broader place as defenders of american hegemony full stop

they mostly rely on reporting from other sources, including david dayen's outlet The American Prospect, or from ryan grim at The Intercept. but also mostly just commentary on the state of poor journalism out of the bigger sources like all the cable channels and the washington post/nytimes

primarily the majority report, but also npr/bbc/al jazeera/reuters. most of the time when a story breaks i try to get multiple outlets reporting of it to get a better picture from across the spectrum
