I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree, my friend. You have a nice day.

Straw man.

No, your country is directly killing people. No third party involved. > dufus Tsk tsk.

No - really - my question here is an important one. If you did not ask for the rejection letter - that would indicate that you didn't even do the most basic checking to determine t…

Good. Because it seems pretty obvious that the algorithm profoundly influences awareness.

So you deny the algorithm profoundly influences awareness then?

I am making the fairly obvious point that Americans don't care about the Cubans like they did the Palestinians, despite the fact that the Cubans are directly suffering under the Am…

So where are the street protests for Cuba then? I marched for Gaza three times. I haven't seen a single one for Cuba. I'm not saying empathy is a Chinese psyop. The empathy is real…

Not really - China doesn't care about other nuisance issues. Look at how the TikTok kids (who went nuts for the Palestinians) don't give a crud about the Cubans.

My dear friend, both questions are asking about the same ratio, just using different language.

> We got a full-throated retraction. Not really. When he says "I was misled" he's passing the blame. Other statements are equally defensive. Notice how the retractions of larger pu…

No. You misunderstand my question. Again. I want to know if the human effort, per story, is the same as other publications. Does Gruber make a real fact checking effort, or does he…

No, my question is whether the per-story fact checking is equal, or much less. I suspect it's much less. Do you know otherwise?

Agreed. Which is why I raise the point.

I don't doubt that massive organizations make a lot of errors. I don't think it makes your point, tho. The question is error per volume. I seriously doubt Gruber does the same amou…

When you spread disinformation you should bear the cost of it. Gruber has a massive audience. He should try harder.
