Media Bias Fact Check, the site that makes no distinction between centrism and being unbiased.
your opinion ≠ fact, although you're welcome to attempt to prove your claim.
MediaBiasFactCheck's opinion ≠ fact either. Don't trust other people to do the thinking for you.
Are you saying that being a centrist and being unbiased are the same? Is there no such thing as a centrist bias?
And don’t say I’m putting words in your mouth. You said that my comment isn’t fact, so what about it isn’t factual?
Or are you saying the site does make that distinction? Because their scale of left bias - unbiased - right bias with a complete lack of centrist bias is proof that they don’t. Here’s the proof of my claim, right from their website, the center is labeled “least biased”:
Amazing that a grown adult doesn't understand the concept of bias. Wait till he discovers that what centrist opinions are changes from country to country. Gonna absolutely blow his mind.
but that's exactly what you did.
you expressed an opinion.
all that you've proven is that it is, in fact, you who cannot distinguish centrism from being unbiased because you conflate the center of a bias spectrum with political centrism in a context where the two are only political bias is being discussed and you'e trying to inject political alignment as a:
Straw man
Please tell me where on their bias spectrum a centrist biased source would go. I'm not conflating anything, the site is.
I just explained how that's not what this spectrum illustrates. your lack of comprehension is not my responsibility.
What does the spectrum illustrate if not bias? Because it sure looks like it's a scale of bias: Extreme Left Bias, Left Bias, Left-Center Bias, Least Bias, Right-Center Bias, Extreme Right Bias. And it sure seems to correspond with the part of the article right below it that explicitly says "Right-Center Bias"
And again, where would a centrist biased source go on that spectrum?
Also: ad hominem if you want to just link logical fallacies.
And it is your responsibility. You are trying to disprove what I said but have offered no proof otherwise.
I already explained how that’s not what this spectrum illustrates. your lack of comprehension is not my responsibility.
What, political bias vs political alignment? Again, where would a heavily biased, centrist aligned source go on their graph? You haven't answered that.
Sealioning
You don't even know what that means and you're just throwing it around on things that aren't that. Citing logical fallacies is useless and the absolute worst debate bro thought terminating cliche.
"nuh-uh" is not an effective form of argument.
That's literally the argument BrooklynMan is making. He's saying "that's not what the spectrum illustrates" without giving any proof as to what it illustrates.
i find their argument effective. i'm borrowing it.
and they explained it clearly. you just ignored it because you didn't like it.
I already explained how that’s not what this spectrum illustrates. your lack of comprehension is not my responsibility.
Where did you explain that? Please quote it.
for those with amnesia, scrolling up is helpful t refresh the memory.
lmao you went back and edited your comment to remove the part I replied to (political bias vs political alignment).
I see nothing left in your comment that explains how that's not what the spectrum illustrates. Here's what you haven't removed so far:
This part is malformed, I'm not even entirely sure what it's supposed to say. I'll assume this:
So you're saying that the site just doesn't consider centrist bias at all but only looks at left and right? Why is that? Centrist bias a form of bias too, isn't it? Why don't they consider centrist bias?
you're welcome to try to prove any wrongdoing on my part, and I'll point to the fact that many of your comments are edited as well.
I hold no surprise that you fail to comprehend something when your argument relies upon you not comprehending.
your opinion notwithstanding, what you may assume and words you put in my mouth do not constitute any argument I've made-- nor can I be held responsible for such.
Legit fucking gaslighting. You know damn well there isn't an edit history. But I replied to the part you removed with:
My edits have not removed anything like yours have.
no, it's just a rebuttal to an unproven and slanderous accusation.
so you claim...
It's unprovable, which you know damn well. I know what I saw in your comment though and you telling me otherwise is gaslighting.
I also know that it's not my problem, something you should have considered before making such a claim.
so you claim...
How about you respond to the part where I respond to what's left of your comment?
why would i give your fallacious argument legitimacy by engaging with it?
your opinion notwithstanding, what you may assume and words you put in my mouth do not constitute any argument I’ve made-- nor can I be held responsible for such.
Then please explain what the following means, because it isn't proper grammar and you just called my best attempt at interpreting it "words I put in your mouth".
why would i give your fallacious argument legitimacy by engaging with it?
God this is such bad faith bullshit. Fuck off.
I am not responsible for your psychological projection. I would point out that you’re the one who keeps returning to an interaction you find frustrating and unsatisfying expecting different results, and blaming me because I won’t give you the answers you want.
I said fuck off.
yeah, you can really tell they've got a compulsive disorder
