"Fact checking" only those articles you disagree with is editorialising.

I swear these guys sit down every morning and make a list of all the messed up shit they've done, then issue a press release saying the dems did all that stuff.
I hate trump as much as the next guy but I have to wonder whether it's appropriate to editorialise posts like this?
Like linking to an article, and then providing a rebuttal in the post body. I mean it's funny as hell in this case, but would it be more appropriate as a comment?
Mad respect to flyingsquid, prolific poster, commenter, and active mod. No rules being broken of course. I'm just concerned it might not be the right practice for a news community.
If it were a conservative perspective with MAGA editorial I sure wouldn't appreciate it.
What does this business do? Is it just a shitcoin? The archive link only has half the article.
Well if you don't care what I think why bother with the propaganda?
You're right to be skeptical, just this particular grift isn't as obvious as it seems.
What you're describing just isn't compliant with tax law in any jurisdiction I'm aware of.
Corporations are legal entities, but they do not have the same rights as people.
There's never been any consensus that I'm aware of. All the suggestions are cringey.
We're just users.
Define "the internet" though...
If you're expecting "the internet" to fill your cup with joy then sure, that's probably not going to work out.
That said, there's plenty of good bits that make life a lot easier.
These are certificates that a company purchases to show it is buying renewable energy-generated electricity to match a portion of its electricity consumption – the catch, though, is that the renewable energy in question doesn’t need to be consumed by a company’s facilities. Rather, the site of production can be anywhere from one town over to an ocean away.
If I understand this correctly, a tech firm with a data centre in Melbourne could buy RECs from Helsinki, pocket the certificate, and on-sell the energy to someone who needed it in Helsinki without the certificate?
No it's not. You personally might like it but if it were the consensus people would use it and this question wouldn't be asked every week.
