you know what, all that expert “journalism” is fine and whatever, but – i hear voices in my head, and, yeah i’m gonna go with that as reality…

what you “woke” folks fail to realize is – that all the answers to all the questions are in dreams and demon seed…

get with it, or get left behind…

I think the Financial Times is a good example of what I would look for.

Bias is impossible to avoid, but some biases — like those toward objective fact and neutral reporting language — are virtues for a professional journalis. There is no such thing as an “unbiased” journalist.

Writing it off for being more biased than some mythical “objective” newspaper of the past (or present) is simply absurd, a No True Scotsman argument if I’ve ever seen one.

In reply to The Honorable Cock Jowles.

Good stuff by the players. Looks like they’ve got some additional social justice concessions out of the league.

Yes, the NYT is great, but it isn’t unbiased. I thought we were discussing reporting, not analysis.

Exactly, Bo. Adam Silver and Wes Edens managed to extort $250mm in state funding from Wisconsin to build their arena. They can do something in Kenosha, Milwaukee, and every municipality they play in if they so desired. But it will take strong determination by the players to force them to.

the playoffs will resume…maybe friday…i have no doubt there are many players that could care less about a trophy or any additional monies received for staying in the bubble to play, good for them for sticking it out and having the opportunity to continue to voice their concerns…
