    From the garbage you posted:

    https://theguardian.com/world/article/2024/may/25/shadian-last-major-islamic-style-mosque-in-china-loses-its-domes
    First of all, the timing of the article is fascinating. Just when the West is facilitating yet another large-scale massacre of Muslims civilians they want your attention drawn to China rearranging the architectural features of some mosques to make them look more Chinese… which they present as some sort of evil project.

    Yeah, the GUARDIAN of all newspapers wants to distract you from Gaza, that is why the main news on their homepage is:

      You see, there is exactly one person working for newspapers who is in charge of writing articles.

      Whenever they write something criticizing something I am obsessed with, it’s the only article posted on a given day and meant to distract the sheeple from some other horrific thing going on at the same time. That’s not whataboutism, it’s different because I’m doing it.

        Kinda related way editorials work. If a news source endorses a candidate or published an editorial that is their opinion forever. They own absolute loyalty to the candidate and support everything they have ever done or said in the past and in the future.

        Every article every written, every social media post, all of it forever and ever are to be viewed under the lens of the one time someone working there expressed a viewpoint. Did the Guardian write a single article that seemed biased towards a side of a conflict? That gets round up to absolute loyalty to that side.

      From the Scott Trust Limited, owners of the Guardian:

      In 1992, the Trust identified its central objective as being the following:

      • “To secure the financial and editorial independence of The Guardian in perpetuity: as a quality national newspaper without party affiliation; remaining faithful to its liberal tradition; as a profit-seeking enterprise managed in an efficient and cost-effective manner.”

      Certainly a liberal, profit-seeking enterprise wouldn’t be biased against a socialist, communist nation… /s
