"The sky is falling"

Maybe it is, or maybe not yet. Regardless, the article is awfully light on actual data and reads more like scaremongering gossip.

0/10 would not read again.



sort by: page size:

This is such an unfounded skynews hyperbolic sort of comment.

In no way could you provide any sort of facts for this statement.


It's alarmist criticism of politics, and not of actual fact. It'd be difficult to find a single study supporting the headline with facts.

It really does read like a scare mongering fear article. Including mention of problems but no concrete followup with current details, or at the very least a mention of no resolution to the issue as of a specific time of fact-finding.

This is a really weak article that does not support its headline and veers into conspiracy theory territory.

I don't think so. I think the gap between the really shitty reality, and the hell on earth "news" reported is all the author means to point out.

No. I’m questioning whether this article is being truthful in its reporting.

To me the article reads like an extension of current popular news stories.. which don't all reflect reality.

Maybe because it's an article commenting on a trend of inaccurate reporting, and is itself inaccurate.

> Seems like pretty wild, sensationalist reporting here.

One might even say -- "deceptive"


The paragraph after the heading 'Why This Matters' sort of addresses the fact that it is anecdotal and how it might still have significance.

Personally I find the article does read a bit like scaremongering propaganda.


Mainly, IMHO, sensationalist "journalism" like this is much more of a reason why we can't have nice things, compared to the actual event predicted (which likely isn't going to happen, at least not to the extent described).

> the article makes it sound like nobody has even the slightest clue that this stuff is possible

It's almost as if the news has some sort of agenda!


" The reports were inaccurate, based on misinterpretations of the documents, which were real. " (TFA, 4th Paragraph).

So does that mean the article's title is clickbaitish?

I think I might need some more coffee


The author literally starts the article with "The city is struggling to remain itself"

This article seems more like propaganda than actual journalism.


Title feels pretty clickbaity/inflammatory, but the article title is merely "In The Bin".

This is an objectively bad article. I'm still trying to figure out exactly which November the author is talking about. But I do think there is an interesting story in there if it was written by a better journalist with some/any actual insider information.

There's very little substance to the article and it reads like it was designed to gaslight the reader.

There's no evidence of disinformation - being incorrect and talking about it doesn't imply intent or motivation to deceive.


It sounds very dramatic, but the fact that the article didn't include even a single quote from the EO to support their argument makes me skeptical. Perhaps it's a real concern, but the article itself is trash.

Ah it's the bi-monthly "attack tailwind" article then. As usual ill-informed and sometimes apparently wilful ignorance in comments.
