Par for the course.
Okay? And?

The poster who submitted this has some sort of pro South China Morning Post (SCMP) agenda. So this post is likely some sort of attempt to normalize that newspaper.

I personally want Russia to lose their imperialist war and I want Trump to lose his election, but even with my biases this article is a huge stretch.
If you're going to condemn a source, please provide evidence of cases where they have misreported in the past on similar issues.
For example, you could point to the New York Times' article by Anat Schwartz as evidence that the New York Times has pro-Israel bias.
i am not commenting on the source. Just pointing out a strange pattern of behavior that I think should be noted. If look around on Lemmy you will see certain accounts that are weirdly into very specific sites.
If you look at the original posters account history you will see the same “very into a specific site” pattern.
Lol that's like asking for evidence that the daily mail is a tabloid.
NYT is just a mouthpiece of the US empire, but SCMP is the official forum for china to troll english language speakers.
Really? Citing MBFC? What are you going to do next, ask an LLM what it thinks?
If you want to judge your media consumption off of some guy with no pictures online, no public interviews, and a "strong grasp of the scientific process" gained through (supposedly) a physiology degree and half a communications degree, be my guest. Just don't launder it's reliability here.
Ad Fontes reports SCMP's reliability as 41.56, which is higher than the Washington Post (39.42) and on par with the New York Times (42.00), Al Jazeera (41.55), and USA Today (41.27). Ad Fontes ranks it lower than institutions like the BBC (44.72) or NPR (43.49) as well as newswire services like Reuters (45.62), AFP (47.15), and Associated Press (45.64).
Your other references are Wikipedia and Reddit. Are you sure you don't want to cite what Google Gemini says as well?
Edit: for reference, Ad Fontes puts FOX News at a 35.49, MSNBC at a 34.39, and the New York Post at a 32.98.

Lmfao
People can look at your post history and judge for themselves.
I see you're new to news outlets.
I think they're new to people posting things in general lmao
There is a point to be made though about reading too many things from the same outlet ig, even if it's generally reliable.
They could've just said that instead of being weirdly condescending about it, when not being an active user themselves.
