      But there is a spectrum. Or are you telling me that every source is as biased as any other?

        Mate, the person literally said “Either the sources are biased or not”

        are you telling me that

        Fun fact: every single time someone writes this, whatever follows is guaranteed to be an outrageous strawman that in no way it’s what the other person was saying.

          Sure buddy. It is still irrelevant. It is not hypocritical to ciritice a source. You don’t have to prove a different point to bring forward criticism. The only question should be “is the criticism valid?” And not “do you have a better point?”

            And the answer to that question is “there’s no such thing as a source with no bias”

              No it is not. That’s only an answer if one thinks that every sources bias is as bad as any other, which was rejected earlier as “outrages strawman”. Under the assumption that sources can be more or less biased, it is worth questioning the bias and the statement “there’s no such thing as a source with no bias” is a moot point.

                  Damnit you are dense. I will not explain a third time that this is completely irrelevant. This is getting to levels of “your argument is invalid because you made spelling mistake”… Don’t know how .ml got back into my feed, but back in the blocklist it goes.

                    Mate, you said it was a "outrageous strawman”. You cannot seriously be trying to argue that the fact they literally said the thing you are accusing me of strawmanning as being “irrelevant”.

                    Don’t know how .ml got back into my feed, but back in the blocklist it goes.

                    “Your argument is invalid because you come from the wrong instance”
