Cringy intro, not shocking content.

2018-09-18 21:17:30 UTC  

So I was reading an article in the bbc, "The truth about false assault accusations by women" from 4 hours ago. Such an opinion piece but can't find it marked as opinion piece anywhere, am I missing something?

2018-09-18 21:17:50 UTC  

Just the first few paragraphs tells you it's an opinion piece, then the ending just cements it even more

2018-09-18 21:18:22 UTC  

Here is the article in question, https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-45565684

2018-09-18 21:21:03 UTC  

all news is opinion now don'cha kno

2018-09-18 21:28:59 UTC  

I suppose it is my fault for expecting more from the bbc

I've never heard of the people at the center of this whole thing. I suspect this is another instance of the far left eating the center left. Except there doesn't seem to be much noise being made about it.

man thats one way for a school to shoot itself in the foot

2018-09-18 23:49:00 UTC  

she is the one accusing kavanaugh of groping her

2018-09-18 23:49:40 UTC  

Check for archived versions I guess.

2018-09-18 23:50:00 UTC  

would be nice if they exist

2018-09-18 23:50:13 UTC  

i have only used the archive sites once

2018-09-18 23:50:37 UTC  

i would be a small fish in the ocean if i go there

2018-09-18 23:53:30 UTC  

no snapshots on wayback except from today

2018-09-18 23:54:04 UTC  

nothing on archive.is older than yesterday

2018-09-18 23:57:08 UTC  

I don't think she taught any classes. She's listed as an affiliate professor.

2018-09-19 00:02:24 UTC  

It's important to note that she sometimes drops the 'Ford' and just goes by 'Christine Blasey'

2018-09-19 03:17:07 UTC  

~~RateMyProfessors had some nice reviews on Ford for a bit. And then it got brigaded. I think DailyWire or DailySignal pulled a couple reviews before it all went bad. I don't have time to find it, but the basic story was that she was one of *those* feminists who uses the classroom as a bully pulpit and has something against guys.~~

The story was redacted. Apparently there's no reviews for Ford.

2018-09-19 05:11:46 UTC  

i read comments that said that the overall sentiments of the students were negative on her

2018-09-19 05:12:07 UTC  

would be nice to know from actual sources

2018-09-19 05:12:18 UTC  

alas

2018-09-19 06:03:55 UTC  

Went looking. Apparently it wasn't Dailywire. It was Grabien (which I never heard of and is probably why I confused it with DailyWire). And they got the wrong person and retracted.

2018-09-19 06:05:09 UTC  

This is why you check sources. Dailywire tends to be pretty reliable on these things. The weird fringe sites not so much.

https://www.theguardian.com/media/2018/sep/18/report-youtubes-alternative-influence-network-breeds-rightwing-radicalisation Does this belong in here? Could be interesting for Pool as he's mentioned in this.

2018-09-19 07:52:08 UTC  

@Sjaleo Tim already commented this on twitter.

2018-09-19 07:53:29 UTC

Not sure if <#398858182455459853> is for such news: https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2018/07/the-man-who-created-the-world-wide-web-has-some-regrets but I totally agree with him. (edit: oh, it's 2 months old)
