    Just a quick reminder that common dreams is quite literally a propaganda website. They’re not a news website and nothing they say is credible.

      Looks like every claim in the article is supported with a valid source.

        What I said isn’t new or controversial. Common Dreams is quite literally a propaganda website. They don’t cover things fairly, they intentionally only portray a single side of an issue, they have an agenda to push. This is literally all on their website. Common Dreams is in the same tier as the Daily Wire or The Blaze. Trying to pass any of these as legitimate news source is stupid, they’re not.

          I wasn’t defending Common Dreams. Just pointing out, in this case, it seems that they’re backing their claims up with links to actual trustworthy sources.

            My point is that even if that is the case, you’re going to get a clearly slanted story because the entire organization is built with the intent of serving specific narratives and interests. There’s no such thing as unbiased news, but there is such a thing as overly biased.

        Isn’t that the website where a bunch random online users get to rate the bias of different sites anonymously?
