It’s Yahoo, the source is Yahoo. You don’t even have to click it, it says it right beneath the title. Stupid bot.

Business Insider* yahoo is acting as an aggregator

PapaStevesy ,

Ok, but the output of the aggregator can still be analyzed for bias, right? How often does “Business Insider* yahoo” aggregate right-wing bullshit vs left-wing bullshit vs actual apolitical truth? Knowing the source’s source doesn’t change the veracity of the article, only the contents of the article affect that.

So you’re upset that this little bot is correctly configured to ignore a link aggregate site because the bot doesn’t yet have nested links implemented?

I guess b better argument is, why have the bot post a comment at all. Or maybe it’s the Media Bias api that’s just giving back a negative and the bot doesn’t know it’s due to the source being a link aggregate.

People don’t deserve to be invaded, but Putin sure does. Get fucked, Putin.

Steve ,

I agree.

HOWEVER…

I don’t understand the nuances well enough to know, but the thought control is still pretty strong in Russia. I do wonder if the populous will see this as the manifestation of what Putin has been saying all along, which is that the Ukraine means to bring violence to them and all efforts so far have been to keep this at bay. If so they will double down on their support for the dictator.

I often think about how much brain washing the Trump group has been able to do in the US even with free press and open access to the rest of the world. Imagine the power of the mind control one could achieve with an entire infrastructure built to support just that.

Putin is going to use this to the extremes. He’s going to spur more enlistment, perhaps a full mobilization if he can spin enough outrage.

I wonder how a vote to join Ukraine in the occupied region would go.

This is massively embarrassing for Putin. Getting counter-invaded by your small, theoretically much weaker neighbour is a joke. And the Ukrainians have faced relatively little resistance. If Putin wasn’t the evil bastard that he is, he’d call time on this pointless, wasteful war.

The concerning thing now is that he can use this Ukrainian incursion into Russia as justification for his claims that the west is trying to destroy Russia, even though he set off this chain of events with his actions.
