At least I assume it was accidental. It might have been purposely done.

Accidentally gay headline.
That’s no moon.
Does Ukraine get an exception from the general advice against invading Russia? Winter is coming. But they kinda have some advantages over prior attempts.
That clears it up a little. Thanks for explaining what you meant by centrist being right wing.
Did you just criticize a fact checking organization by calling it centrist? Are you looking for a more left or right biased fact checker?
I must be confused.
Here is my view of the conversation. Let me know where I went wrong.
People saying MBFC is biased. Me saying that that’s BS if talking about specific facts checks. Me saying they also offer a bias check for news sources. But that’s not a fact check. You reply saying that they have repeatedly gotten claims by the Guardian UK wrong. Me saying that they don’t fact check whole articles so your statement is inconsistent with the very nature of the type of fact checking they do. You come back saying you are talking about the bias check for the Guardian. Except that’s not what you said in your first comment, is it? You specifically said “failed fact checks of the Guardian UK” which isn’t about their overall rating but about specific facts checks. Their fact checking and their media bias checks are two separate functions.
So when you tell me I’m being obtuse it looks to me like either you didn’t realize that you complained about one thing while confusing it with another or are trying to gaslight me.
Where did I go wrong?
See, this is what I’m talking about. They don’t fact check articles by specific publishers. They fact check a claim. “Is this statement true”, “did X Y”, etc. they don’t do “is this this article by the guardian true.” That’s a whole separate thing not done by them.
They offer a separate service where they rate the general trustworthiness and bias of a publication but that’s not the same as doing a specific article, is it?
Your comment makes me wonder if you might be confusing them with someone else or are intentionally saying something about them that isn’t accurate. Because your comment is incompatible with what they actually do.
A whole lot of people here don’t read MBFC each day and it shows. They tend to take a single and testable claim and make a decision. It’s really easy to see if the claim is true or false if the claim is specific. They don’t have a habit of taking a big claim and ruling it false because of one small detail like Snopes does.
I’m on the cat side of things in the South. I Foster the extra spicy ones and get them tamed up so they’re safe for adoption. And the majority of cases cats here in South Carolina end up getting shipped up to New England because apparently they have a cat shortage up there and we have a surplus down here.
This article really isn’t capturing the full scope of the problem. It talks about the inhumane conditions in the shelters, but what it’s not talking about is the inhumane conditions outside of the shelters. Turkey has a domestic feral dog problem. And if you’re picturing the typical short curly haired street dog found that most of the world you’re wrong. These are typically golden retrievers.
The people saying all that’s needed is a little bit of sterilization are probably wrong. That’s still 4 million ish golden retrievers roaming the streets. No amount of sterilization is going to fix that. Even attempting it is going to result in the same inhumane conditions they are complaining about at the shelters. And then after that trauma the dogs would be right back on the street, aka more yet trauma.
Because these are golden retrievers, there is a network getting these dogs to America for adoption. But America doesn’t need a million more golden retrievers. We already have too many because we have our own issues with not fixing our damn pets.
I feel like this article was pretty lazy and didn’t give nearly enough depth on the situation.
Fix yo damn pets.
I’ve been disabled a few times in my life. Recently when I broke my back in 2021. I’m at full power now but in another 20 years I wouldn’t be surprised if I’m unable to walk because of all previous injuries and any new ones.
Unless someone dies in an accident everyone becomes disabled at some point in their life. In America that which doesn’t kill you becomes a preexisting condition.
Roundup acid? Now there’s a phrase I’ve never heard before. Depending on if it’s buffered or not Roundup can have a pH of 3.5 to 9. But it’s not the pH of glyphosate that makes it an effective herbicide. I’d probably not use that phrase in the future because it’s a distraction that undermines your point.
What an unfortunate thing to happen on free dozen eggs night.
