Right, it's just partisans calling out other partisans

I can grant that.

That's the issue though

You don't get to pull a "we're above this" as a blatantly partisan org. That's why people mock CNN

And their ad was at least blatant corporate bullshit. They didn't lean on local news to pass the message along

So we should silence the one Conservative station because they had a broadcast memo that called out an MSNBC host and people who rely on Facebook for their facts.

And because Deadspin made a video that both sides share, because people don't trust ANY news outfits, fuck Sinclair.

No, we should hold all of them to better standards and not allow this bait and switch bullshit

What bait and switch?

Yes, fuck Sinclair but not exclusively

people already are

by no longer watching them

They held an advertisement to advertise a feature on their website.

Either advertisement is okay, or it's not.

"Come to us for trustworthy news. We're not like those *other* stations"
"Hey guys did you know [insert politician here] is great and the opposition are monsters"

Something can be legally okay but still dumb

This was dumb

You're misinterpreting what was said.

Apple ad was dumb

The ad is clearly meant to elicit the feeling that the problem is solvable and that they're trying to be objectice

While they had and have "must run" partisan segments

Wewlad.

Looked back to discord and thought I saw live chat. Sorry about that...

Wew

I had scrolled back for a link, I thought you were repeating yourself, lol

The message itself was not partisan.

No, but the org is

So the message by default is?

No, the message is undermined

Just like it was when CNN tried to talk about "facts"

What's the message, then?

"The ad is clearly meant to elicit the feeling that the problem is solvable and that they're trying to be objective"

Or rather the segment

But it is an ad really. Just native advertising

Where did you get that quote?

I said it minutes ago

I don't think it's comparable to a company saying "we're the best at X" either, because that company presumably does X

This is more like saying "PETA is dedicated to rescuing abused animals and giving them better homes" when all they do is keep em around until they can euthanize

And poison people's pets

~~I mean Heaven is a better home, isn't it?~~

If PETA put out a hotline for reporting PETA's animal murder I would laugh in their faces
