I agree 100%. In the beginning of the discussion, I pointed to the colonial and early federal-era newspapers. I did not even bother with the Hearst versus Pulitzer era of yellow journalism and totally fake news on all sides. Also near the beginning Dobrien mentioned Epoch Times of the Falun Gong movement. He likes the political slant but is wary.... My brother had the same response when I cited the Christian Science Monitor having received yet another Pulitzer. I never bothered with Breitbart, Glenn Beck, Hannity, and all the others just because their political slant is so obnoxious that I could never trust their science reporting.

Last. year at this time, I read Stephen Hawking's Brief History of Time. My advice is not to trust it (completely).

Can you find two instances of Ars suppressing liberal views?
I get your point, Mike. The instances of obvious political bias are statistically small compared to all they publish, and Ars doesn't appear to be as big an offender as MSM.
My conclusion is that we must examine carefully what they publish and not accept anything as fact without independent confirmation.
Yes, they do cover lots of technical issues and some of that information has been useful to me in the past. Unfortunately, I have to wonder what filtering process is being used at Ars before publication. Ars has shown that they do have political bias; is Ars subtly slanting the presentation to favor of some products and issues over others?

Yeah, Gamergate. And Allosaur and I both found the one instance of the Trump supporter who complained. So, that's two, if you take the "conservative" view of Gamergate, which I do not. We have argued Gamergate here in the Gulch. Facts quickly became irrelevant. I am still with Ars Technica.

Here's my source. YMMV.

That was funny. Grew up with Red Skelton making me laugh at on black and white and later on color TV but I never saw that movie.

In the movie the second half of the song has a 2nd couple with the woman trying to persuade the man to stay.

Me dino picked up that PC puke report on Fox News a couple of nights ago.
So a guy is trying to persuade some lady to stick around. Big deal. Banning that? Sheer stupidity.

Red Skelton was hilarious in the original movie version of the song. By all reports, he was also a perfect gentleman with everyone he worked with.
The people criticizing the song are truly brainwashed and ignorant of reality.

A playful song where a man and woman is a woman.
If a man does not want to be a man or woman does want to be a woman that’s ok. What I despise is the mobs that relentlessly try forcing us to submit to their ideological dictates.

Yes, much of the media are f$%^heads.
Did you hear that the media want to ban the Christmas season song, "Baby, It's Cold Outside"?
Yes, this must be banned: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bbuB...
They are (nearly all) idiots, dino.

Opinions vary. That does not calm my trust issue.

One unsubstantiated slur and you close your mind? No wonder allosaurs are extinct... My suggestion is to read Ars Technica for yourself and if you find it to be politically biased, then report that. (See my comment to jdg above.)

Broadly speaking, just taking your words at face value. I found no evidence of that. Furthermore, Ars Technica's only "slant" is that it is pro-science. I found one exchange where a Trump supporter complained about other people who were not Trump supporters reporting on the President's use of Twitter. But it was just a report about the fact that the President uses Twitter.

To dig deeper, just what do you mean by a "Social Justice slant"? Do you have specific examples?

Whale fart? Holy S..t! Sent me into 'whales' of
laughter!! Gotta thank you for this depressed-mood
destroyer. Still laughing.....

Me dino recalls learning that Walter Cronkite was a lib. But when I listened to him on the CBS TV for many years I couldn't tell.
He was one of the last great objective reporters.

Col. McCormack and his "yellow journalism" in his Chicago Tribune about Cuba sinking the battle ship Maine in Havana harbor was instrumental in fomenting the Spanish-American war. (he suppressed that its boiler exploded by human error) LBJ's Gulf of Tonkin as reported by the MSM without fact-checking--(Cronkhite later reported it could have been a whale fart misinterpreted by a sonar man) led to greatly exacerbating tthe Viet Nam war,) The supposed nuclear missiles in Iraq leading up to that war, etc.

To his credit Dan Rather actually resigned when he found out he had incorrectly reported fake news about ageorge W. Bush's service in the Texas Air National Guard. To my mind that kind of journalistic integrity put him right up there with Walter Cronkhite as a trusted source.

During the 70s I was a newspaper reporter for seven years.
What do me dino have to say now all these decades later?
Yeah, I'd avoid reporters too.

Me dino won't bother with looking Ars's arse then.

Thank you, jdg. I fully understand your message and actually, I live by it. I avoid reporters for the reasons stated by Dr. Goebbels.

To be honest, I wouldn’t know how to pick someone of Jewish heritage or religious belief out of a lineup. It takes knowing them a bit

I don’t really care either. It seems like entitlement has infected mostly blacks, women, and unfortunately seniors.

I agree. Herodotus is widely credited with creating the ethic of objective reporting, but every historical example I've managed to look at, including him, turns out to be biased. About the best a reporter can do is disclose his biases. Beware those who claim not to have any!

Ars Technica carries a marked "Social Justice" slant and edits out conservative commenters.

The trick here is whom you define as Jews. The word is widely used (misused, in my opinion) in America to refer to people who are "Jews" in an ethnic (and sometimes racial) sense, but many of whom don't practice any form of the Jewish religion.

I believe that most actual religious Jews are conservatives like Shapiro.

I am wary of the entitlement minded. I don’t care what color they are.
