The Daily Mail, 🤣
Pots and kettles eh 🤣
Why use the word "claim" for something that's painfully and obviously true? 🤔
Context: global times is not a "newspaper". It's Chinese nationalist English media. Their proper state run media is much more formal and reserved. For example look at Xinhua.
That's actually not true, with respect to altering the truth. Usually the quantity or quality of a single truth is heavily distorted, or outright fabricated. See Iraq's WMD that never matetialized.
Very frequently propaganda relies on a single kernal of truth, and then changing the quantity, quality, or both of said truth. All it needs is some level of justification, then it can be molded like clay into whatever you need it to say.
When the audience/readership has no effective way of fact-checking what is said then they can (and do) just make it up to suit their narrative. Anything that contradicts the narrative is an "unreliable source."

The fucked up CCP fails to remember when Putin's Sock Puppet said, "Xi is great and we love each other."
And you are lynching Negroes Not that I'm suggesting they're wrong or I'm defending Trump
Would be more fallacious if they weren't actually lynching black people tbh
Whataboutism
Of course, "one without sin among you should be the first to throw a stone", I'm not a fan of US but also not a fan of PRC
Equal condemnation for unequal things just ends up being support for the status quo, though.
Whataboutism
Yeah, and?
I like that liberals have decided that criticizing the USA is inherently fallacious.
I didn't even remotely suggested anything like this
Ok, I wouldn't expect you to be honest about it anyway.
Two things can be true.
That's what I wrote, but I forgot it's lemmy.ml
That's not what you wrote, though?
Yeah not literally, I didn't mean to praise the US in any way, I'm just recalling a historical example of one not-so-ideal country criticizing another not-so-ideal country Also
Part might be key to understand what I meant
So Democrats hate on China, but also rely on them why it suites their messaging? Earlier today Democrats were just upvoting something saying that Elon Musk has close ties with China which is an authoritarian dictatorship. If Democrats were consistent, wouldn't this mean that authoritarians don't like Donald Trump?
Are the Democrats in the room with us right now?
Do you think Democrats and Leftists are the same group of people? Where are the Democrats here?
can you show me where the Democrats touched you.
Yeah, it is right here under this rubble in Gaza.
I am with you on this, but that was all a presidential action, and while no one was trying to stop it (maybe a small group under bernie) it was all signed off by him (and now the other him). I could be wrong I knew there was many votes on the house floor for Ukraine funding but I dont recall the same for isreal (not that they dont get a HUGE cut of the american budget as it is).
WELL I GUESS AS A DEMOCRAT I MUST ABSTAIN FROM ALL FOOD TO PROVE THEM WRONG
Careful that this giant strawman of yours doesn't catch on fire.
Too stupid to understand the difference between criticism and hate. You're one of those idiots that thinks any criticism of America is hate instead of the desire for a more perfect union.
