  1. We all have a bias. It’s best dealt with by declaring your personal bias. In my experience as a new consumer, those who claim to be unbiased are more likely to lean left and are more likely to claim zero bias without actually achieving it.

  2. There is a fourth reason for news mistakes. That’s the publication has an agenda. Some will assign anything negative to the side they want labeled as “bad guys”. The “mistakes” made by NY Times always seem to swing the same way. Go figure?

  3. NYT and other left wing press deliberately get the “machine gun” thing wrong. In USA they are trying to ban all repeating rifles by calling them machine guns. IT IS NOT ACCIDENTAL.

  4. ⁠ @virginiaoflaherty2983  Russia (sorry) Soviets funded European (and to a lesser extent USA) Green politics to discredit nuclear power. They were extremely successful. They also had the handy side effect of Europe buying Russian gas. Just before Putin’s war in Ukraine, Ursula Von Der Leyen was saying that clean “green” gas was Europe’s future energy source. You really couldn’t make it up.
