CIA shifts stance on Covid origins

The CIA now assesses “with low confidence” that Covid-19 more likely originated from a lab leak

The agency now believes “with low confidence” that Covid-19 likely came from a lab leak

I shared the RT article instead of other articles, because other articles are really biased and act like this CIA assessment is the truth. While this article put in the first paragraph the “low confidence” part and actually talk about the factors that may affected it. Which is quiet telling about the shitty quality of journalism currently.

    Nope. With reason.

    The reason is that you are using a source which is bigoted.

    You’re clearly fine with that, which makes me think you share their bigotry about things like Jews and queer people.

      Dear Flying Squid, read more to improve yourself.

      Here is a good link for you to read: Ad hominem.

      Here is a good quote from there:

      Often currently this term refers to a rhetorical strategy where the speaker attacks the character, motive, or some other attribute of the person making an argument rather than the substance of the argument itself. This avoids genuine debate by creating a diversion often using a totally irrelevant, but often highly charged attribute of the opponent’s character or background.

        I love it. “I might hate queer people and Jews and Ukrainians and support the people who promote that hate, but if you bring it up, it’s an AD HOMINEM and has nothing to do with the extremely bigoted source that you have talked about repeatedly already.”

        And your whole argument is now based upon two sentences you have quoted that literally have no bias in them.

        I am not going to give your bigoted buddies at RT any page views because unlike you, I do not support bigots. But I am pretty sure that if I did, the obvious bias would be apparent.

          You are a hard working troll, so enjoy your trolling alone.

            You are a hard working troll, so enjoy your trolling alone.

            Let’s see:

            Squid’s been Squid since Reddit.

            In the last 6 months, you’ve been: Dot, Joker, and now 000. Possibly more, but I’ve only been paying attention since Dot. The pattern goes that you post a crazy amount of often off-brand news, blogs presented as news, and sprinkle in some more questionable ones. When you get modded or called out on the latter two, you nuke your account (taking lots of posts/conversations with them), wait a few days, and start anew with a new account/instance.

            So, which of those is the troll-like behavior?

            Calling me a troll doesn’t change the fact that you defend Nazis and support bigots. You might notice no one is defending you.
