That's true, but barn cats are cats that are more likely to be fed scraps and raw food to begin with. Most people with pet cats are just feeding them cat food. Obviously some people are doing this as it is discussed in the article, but, Bird flu is primed to be the next covid with how unseriously it's being taken right now, especially by poultry/egg farmers.

One can hope that farmers with barn cats will actually do that, but they probably won't.

Yeah, I think it's very deceptive in how it markets itself. I think the only reason you see it so much in sites like lemmy and reddit is it went viral during the 2016 US election, where discussions of "fake news" and media bias really took off for the first time and people have just been trusting it ever since.

I'm only pointing out he's trained as a physical therapist to highlight that he is not trained in a field relevant to this whatsoever, you can be a critical thinker without being a journalist or going to college, but this person just decided they would be the arbiter of what media bias was in the 2016 US election and has just run with it. Most people do not realize this is just some guy's opinions, if it was named "David Van Zandt's blog on media bias" people would probably trust it less than naming it "MediaBiasFactCheck" which makes it sound like it's not just the opinions of one random dude.

Press TV is Iranian state media, I don't think you should either implictly trust what they are reporting or implictly distrust what they are reporting, you have to look at what is being claimed in an article by article basis and decide whether what they are saying is well sourced and seems accurate. You shouldn't just "trust the site" for any news source in general, that is the opposite of critical thinking.

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 combination of being fascinated by politics, a keen eye to spot bias before he even knew what it was called, and an education/career in science gave Dave the tools required for understanding Media Bias and its implications. This led to a 20-year journey where Dave would read anything and everything he could find on media bias and linguistics. He also employed the scientific method to develop a methodology to support his assessments.

After years of people telling him to launch a website, in late 2015, Mediabiasfactcheck.com was born from a combination of many different experiences and exhaustive research. For the last 9 years, Dave and his team have refined their methods and improved their reviews to the point where the website receives consistently high traffic levels and is considered a top authority in rating media bias and credibility.

You are trusting the opinions of a physical therapist who identifies as a "Non-Affiliated" voter, I'm not saying you have to like PressTV, it is perfectly valid to not trust their reporting if you have reasons not to, but I think you can determine whether you trust it on your own, instead of relying on this "Non-Affiliated" loser to inform your opinions.

But cutting off access without any steps to fix it first will just lead to decisions being made without any data at all.

I can almost guarentee the next Dem administration will not take any steps to fix it either and will just start paying Politico again so kind of a wash for me. I think it's an accurate narrative, it is ridiculous that they were paying for this with tax dollars, even if they don't end up replacing it.

Some of them are so delusional they think they were actually the first ones on the land.

I would recommend not downloading any app that isn't open source that has that permission enabled to begin with.

Cisco’s technology enables Israel’s genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza through advanced military communication networks facilitated by Cisco’s Unified Communication systems.

They are focusing on that it is being used in a military context. Not just doing business, although they have different levels of campaigns for different brands, using the categories in the graphic in this article.

JD Vance is such a pathetic loser, his wife is Indian, his kids are Indian and he cares about giving another chance to "normalize Indian hate" groyper #3.
