#news bias

This is why I no longer trust the BBC. Before October 7th I was more critical of it but still regarded it as a largely unbiased/reliable news source, but now its right up there with ITV and 5news

Conservatives either dont have a source or send you a source from some obscure organization that is so obviously biased it could pass as satire.

Like theyll send you an article about biden doing something and it starts like:

"Evil tyrant Joe Biden and his democrat cohorts pass another anti-american bill aimed at stripping your liberties"

It makes it immidietly obvious that this is not a source that should be trusted.

That being said the point of this post is to remind everyone to be critical of the media you consume for any bias they may display. This is not unique to the republican side (tho it is much more common and blatant). Always ensure you either balance out the bias with other sources or use more reputable and journalistic sources. I personally recommend AP news as a good neutral news source and ground news as a method of analysing the news across the whole political spectrum (not sponsored)

Media Dehumanization of Black Victims and the Tragic Case of Daniel Anjorin

The Tragic Loss of a Young Life In a horrifying incident that shocked the British nation, 14-year-old Daniel Anjorin was brutally murdered in Hainault, northeast London. The accused, Marcus Aurelio Arduini Monzo, a dual Spanish-Brazilian national, stands charged with murder and multiple counts of attempted murder and grievous bodily harm. On the day of the attack, Monzo allegedly sped his van…

“In electronics, bias is a voltage which maintains electron tubes proper operating points. Too much, or too little bias causes distortion. In Electronic News, the news is reported exactly as occurs, without fear or favor. And the only bias found there is that which favors the reader.” (1951)

Fox News is constantly playing in our doctors' lounge and every time, I am reminded that it takes exponentially less energy to generate bullshit than it does to refute it.

The amount of projection and spin they apply is mind boggling it's not just "the chicken crossed the road" but "the chicken, who we suspect has ties to [insert threatening-sounding international game] was last seen crossing the road in [insert largely-white town name]. This is clearly evidence that the Democratic administration is not doing their job."

The spin is real, y'all. Keep your eyes open for conjecture and inserted information

Defend and Protect Black Women!!

Misogynoir medical bias is KILLING Black women disproportionately. If you know even a little history of how Black women have been systematically dehumanized and objectified in the medical industrial complex -you'd know this is FAR too common and it's despicable. These medical professionals should be losing their licenses to practice medicine.

"Black women are three to four times more likely to experience complications during pregnancy and childbirth and die from these complications compared with white women. Additionally, infants born to Black women are two times more likely to be born premature (<37 weeks of gestation) compared with infants born to white women."

"In the 19th century, J. Marion Sims performed experimental surgery on enslaved Black women without their consent to develop a cure for vesicovaginal fistula. These experiments facilitated the generations of two key health care scripts about Black women in the context of reproductive health care: (1) it is acceptable to perform procedures on Black women without their consent; and (2) Black women have a high tolerance for pain."

"Although there is a plethora of research documenting Black women's experiences of racism and discrimination while navigating perinatal care, much less has been reported regarding the relationship between racism and clinical care through the lens of clinicians' caring for Black women during pregnancy and childbirth."

"oh please everyone has gay thoughts sometimes" so what i'm hearing is that heteronormativity is so ingrained that a significant percentage of the population regularly experiences bisexual attraction? but dismisses it as something that all straight people experience? this is so concerning are you guys okay

hey let's go from totoro kinda vibe

[inkskinned]

he says i hate everyone except you and that is addictive and that is kind of romantic and beautiful because you're young and you're kind of a sarcastic asshole too and you don't like bad boys, per say, but you don't really like good ones either. and you like that you were the exception, it felt like winning.

except life is not a romance book, and he was kind of being honest. he doesn't learn to be nice to your friends. he only tolerates your family. you have to beg him to come with you to birthday parties, he complains the whole time. you want to go on a date but - people are often there, wherever you're going. he's just so angry. about everything, is the thing. in the romance book, doesn't he eventually soften? can't you teach him, through your own sense of whimsy and comfort?

at first - you know introverts often need smaller friend groups, and honestly, you're fine staying at home too. you like the small, tidy life you occupy. you're not going to punish him for his personality type.

except: he really does hate everyone but you. which means he doesn't get along with his therapist. which means he has no one to talk to except for you. which means you take care of him constantly, since he otherwise has no one. which means you sometimes have to apologize for him. which means he keeps you home from seeing your friends because he hates them. you're the single exception.

about a decade from this experience, you'll type into google: how to know if a relationship is codependent.

he wraps an arm around you. i hate everyone except you. these days, you're learning what he's actually confessing is i have very little practice being kind.
