it seems the standard for any outlet critical of the emperor is extremely high. a single mistake, a few biased articles that trigger the cult, and you're automatically 'fake news' or 'paid shills'...
it is quite interesting and telling that the bias in "a few biased articles" always, without exception, falls to the same side, dont you think?
even quality media will from time to time publish weak or unconvincing or factually incorrect or politically biased articles, yes. you're right in that regard. but from a site that claims to be objective, to be strictly sticking with facts, one would assume the occasional bias to get distributed rather evenly over both sides of the aisle. after a certain point, it's just no longer plausible to blame sloppiness or randomness - after a certain point, the only plausible explanation is that it's a deeper pattern, a bias of the site itself.
