it is irresistible to the redditor mind to complain about the word slam in a title of an article

It is topical, you would know that if you read the article as declassified files were released in 2024, that showed Ethel was not a spy, no one is arguing her husband wasn't a spy, so yes it is relevant to ask for a posthumous pardon after evidence was revealed this year that she had nothing to do with it and the government at the time knew that, but chose to execute her anyways.

An NSA codebreaker’s 1950 assessment reveals Ethel Rosenberg knew of her husband’s espionage but ‘did not engage in the work herself’ — despite this, the US sent her to die in the electric chair, writes ANDREW TUCKER

Even with them paying more than in competiting franchises, they are still a business, most businesses will not just accept all the union's demands even if they are all reasonable, simply because they don't want to set a precedent of not fighting back.

I think it's just kinda funny imagining him tariffing Denmark and then Denmark turning off the Ozempic spigot in retaliation.

I feel like there is a comical level to it being a giant machete, like a pocket-able knife is one thing.

No offense, but just read the article, it's discussed in the 2nd paragraph.

Under a policy renewed on Friday by House Speaker Mike Johnson, transgender people will be prohibited from using single-sex bathrooms that correspond with their gender in areas belonging to the House of Representatives. The policy, which states that “all single-sex facilities — such as restrooms, changing rooms, and locker rooms — are reserved for individuals of that biological sex,” is now in effect.

Although earlier reports indicated that the policy was not officially part of the House rules package passed on Friday during the first session, the ban was listed among Speaker Johnson’s policies for the 119th Congress, as reflected in the Congressional Record, a daily account of congressional proceedings.

If your question is can they just do that, then the answer seems like yes they can.

I cannot win with these types of articles, if I posted the original source I saw, I would have gotten 50 comments asking for the full list of democrats who voted for it, post a source that lists all the democrats, the source is not good enough

Failed Fact Checks Done in the last 5 years Overall, we rate the Environmental Working Group Left Biased as a strong Pseudoscience website based on the promotion of ideas and claims that oppose scientific consensus. (D. Van Zandt 5/10/2017) Updated (05/07/2024)

You know D. Van Zandt, is one guy and it is just this one guy's personal opinion on the website, with no examples, if you are basing anything off of the ravings of D. Van Zandt you are deeply unserious, find actual things you disagree with the publication, don't take this random guy's (who is not even a fucking journalist) word for it.

Dave Van Zandt is a registered Non-Affiliated voter who values evidence-based reporting. Since High School (a long time ago), Dave has been interested in politics and noticed as a kid the same newspaper report in two different papers was very different in their tone. This curiosity led him to pursue a Communications Degree in college; however, like most 20-year-olds, he didn’t know what he wanted and changed to a Physiology major midstream. Dave has worked in the healthcare industry (Occupational Rehabilitation) since graduating from college but never lost the desire to learn more about bias and its impacts.

The armchair academics

Amateur attempts at such tools already exist, and have found plenty of fans. Google “media bias,” and you’ll find Media Bias/Fact Check, run by armchair media analyst Dave Van Zandt. The site’s methodology is simple: Van Zandt and his team rate each outlet from 0 to 10 on the categories of biased wording and headlines, factuality and sourcing, story choices (“does the source report news from both sides”), and political affiliation.

A similar effort is “The Media Bias Chart,” or simply, “The Chart.” Created by Colorado patent attorney Vanessa Otero, the chart has gone through several methodological iterations, but currently is based on her evaluation of outlets’ stories on dimensions of veracity, fairness, and expression.

Both efforts suffer from the very problem they’re trying to address: Their subjective assessments leave room for human biases, or even simple inconsistencies, to creep in. Compared to Gentzkow and Shapiro, the five to 20 stories typically judged on these sites represent but a drop of mainstream news outlets’ production.

They should definitely give away Greenland... to Greenland.

It would definitely help if it was free, if you're homeless or just don't have insurance for whatever reason, is it really fair that you're expected to pay for vaccinations?

A lot of people like I talked about, don't have $200 lying around, really a state failure, not insuring anyone who wants it can actually get it.
