Technically the US (the country) gets +2 bronzes (Puerto Rico) and China (the country) gets +2 golds and +2 bronzes (Hong Kong)… but this whole comparison is stupid.

Because the mods on this community would rather choose a source that they agree with than a source that’s reliable.

Yes but have you considered that by using a fixed source you can shift the Overton window to where you want it to be?

At least I acknowledge that the Overton window on lemmy.ml leans to the left. This is just slowly tilting the Overton window on lemmy.world to the right.

This is a really well-reasoned response… Which probably means the mods will ignore it

There’s a reason lemmy.ml mocks MBFC daily lmao

When your community is built from Redditors it’s sort of bound to happen

Well, it’s more that the mods know that people don’t have an alternative

Because it’s free money for MBFC

The mods on this community have always had a rather unhealthy relationship with MBFC

I’ll allow this, but IMO once you get to 200k+ subscribers you should really consider launching an actual website. Ex-The Intercept and ex-HuffPost journalists should know better.

Newsweek has such shit journalism, man:

Yemen’s Houthi rebels continued their attacks in the Red Sea by targeting two tankers in 24 hours, including a vessel carrying Russian oil likely heading to Asia, where China is the region’s largest buyer.

That’s the only justification given… Even though, y’know, India has been the largest buyer of seaborne Russian oil since the sanctions and is also, shockingly, in Asia. Meanwhile, it’s summer and the Northern Sea Route is viable, cutting the transport distance almost in half.

I do think we don’t have a clear policy on opinion pieces and that’s absolutely something we should work towards. Right now it’s more of a case-by-case basis.

If you could point to some specific examples that would be great!

Now would be a good time to describe what specific issues you have with Greenwald’s reporting on past issues and where he’s been inconsistent with facts revealed after the fact.

His stint at The Guardian where he broke the Snowden leaks?

His work at The Intercept that revealed the corrupt dealings that led to Brazil’s Lula losing the election and being imprisoned?

Or is it his appearances on US media, where he’s on record for questioning the efficacy of Russian interference in the 2016 election (which IIRC is backed by a study in Nature Communications) and criticizing Israeli influence in US politics?

I’m not disagreeing with you, but you’re not exactly providing much in the way of evidence outside of your own opinion.

This is a good point and we’ll take it under consideration. Unfortunately, sometimes we do have to make a judgement call, but if there are any particular cases you’d like to discuss please mention them here.
