Founded in 1951, Radio Free Asia (RFA) is a private, nonprofit international broadcasting agency of the United States government that broadcasts and publishes online news, information, and commentary to listeners in East Asia while “advancing the goals of U.S. foreign policy.”

Bias Rating: LEFT-CENTER

What do words even mean anymore

LEFT-CENTER means appropriate for people who don't like slurs

[-] huf@hexbear.net 14 points 1 month ago

except slurs against geopolitical enemies

[-] ProletarianDictator@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago

listen sweatie they're orcs end of story 💅

[-] huf@hexbear.net 8 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

it's not even the "orcs" thing that shocked me. it was how immediately they switched, like someone had sent out an update to their firmware.

there was no confused period where they tried various slurs until they settled on orcs. just orcing, 0-100, from day one.

It's not an update to their firmware, just an already existing feature you had yet to see.

Overall, we rate Radio Free Asia as Left-Center Biased based on story selection and editorial positions that slightly favor the left. We also rate them High for factual reporting due to proper sourcing and a clean fact-check record. (11/28/2016) (Updated D. Van Zandt 06/18/2024)

Just no words

"Those damn Chinese are all brainwashed hivemind borg drones and we should all be afraid of them"

  • Very normal Left of Centre opinion
[-] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 31 points 1 month ago

Center left NGOs say that the enemies of the US are killing Muslims, center right NGOs say that the enemies of the US are killing aryan Ukrainians.

It would be such a massive governmental failure to have a bunch of educated young people go unemployed/underemployed. China probaby puts them in indentured servitude by chaining a bunch of student loans to them, and uses increasingly unaffordable potential homeownership as a carrot to get as much labour as they can from them. Those evil commies.

Kids probably lost, posted it to sopuli.xyz as well: https://lemy.lol/post/30265875

Probably fresh from reddit and just assumed any english speaking board dedicated to content about china would be the same as what they're used to on reddit.

Its a five day old account that has posted 100+ times so your likely correct.

Hilariously I thought this was about the other lemmitor posting an RFA article to Hexbear. Nope, RFA is everywhere apparently, and Nakoichi is here to sniff it out and shame it

[-] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 29 points 1 month ago

Oh shit what was the other one?

[-] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 27 points 1 month ago

Edit: Yeah OK I found it

[-] MeowZedong@lemmygrad.ml 22 points 1 month ago

Ok, I knew Media Bias Fact Check sucked, but I didn't know they sucked THIS BADLY. What a fucking joke.

[-] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 21 points 1 month ago

The fact that I've seen RFA posts get removed at downvoted off of some subreddits, even...

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
