      A better question is , why are people on hexbear doing the whole lib thing with sources? Like you don’t have to agree with it, you can read it critically. Just cause something is written in Atlantic doesn’t mean there isn’t interesting information there.

        In defense of the people complaining, this article is staggeringly wrong. I can’t imagine a way to draw a more incorrect and useless conclusion from the data without literally veering into right wing conspiracy theory flat-earth-tier stuff. The author is literally doing “no, it wasn’t gutting and privatizing education, it was kids who only know charge their phone and teacher’s unions bad”.

          I mean it’s the Atlantic so don’t know why anybody would expect them to have good analysis, the numbers themselves are interesting however.

            Sure, but for the news comm it might have been better to find a better source covering the same thing.

            I don’t mind, personally, I had fun hate-reading it.

              It was the one I ran across, no doubt there are better ones. And yeah, I personally find the absurdity of lib takes kinds of hilarious.

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember… we’re all comrades here.

Rules:

– PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE –

Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.

If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also xcancle.org (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.

Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.

Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.

Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.

Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like ‘Raid: Shadow Legends’ in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.
