The same ones that told Syria used chemical weapons on their own civilians - that turned out to be another false flag by the Americans to justify invading a country that threatened the American Petrodollar cartel?

there's not a lot you can trust coming out of there, but this video is pretty compelling evidence that Syria did it for that specific bombing.

Given what I do for a living (content creation + marketing), I am acutely aware of how important it is to validate information you consume as much as possible by reviewing as many sources as possible. I read Fox on the daily despite its obvious ideological bias. I stopped reading CNN a while ago and replaced it with Reuters and MSNBC.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

I immediately write off content without a defined author because of how easy content is to create. As I said earlier in this thread, if a real persons name isn't on it, it's not worth consuming.
Regardless, at this point the conversation re: this subject is semantics, so let's switch it up.

To your point though: I actually differ on it. In fact the entire scientific method, and much of the progress of humanity is reliant on the fact that you don't need to know the author of the information. I realize this is a point beyond the news cycle, but much of the content you see online isn't designed to be news, but rather analysis, as you know. ZH is a good example of that. ZH presents a lot of interesting content that relates to data analysis. You can verify the data, interpret it on your own, analyze it on your own and either share or disagree with the conclusion. That does not require the benefit of knowing an author.
We'll agree to disagree here. In my view, editorial integrity requires that you stand behind what you say. I am always suspicious of any publication, blog, channel, etc. that is not willing to put their face to their words, so to speak.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
His point makes sense though. For people that don't know how to validate and interpret data, it is much easier to just nullify anything that doesn't have an author, and try to rely on "Journalistic Integrity" to do it's job and only present valid data. People like this don't care much about data since they don't understand it, easier to follow opinions. And if you're going to follow an opinion, then at least there is some due diligence in following an opinion of a real person that has to stand up to scrutiny, even if they do get it wrong as often as they do.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

The amount of data supporting climate change is significant, and yet you ignore it to focus on your own opinion. You call NASA propaganda, FFS. Pot, meet kettle.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
So, if we remove the underhanded bullshit of your post and get to what you're really saying (that people should review/analyze data and form opinions off of it), on that we agree. Like anything, data needs to be scrutinized and that includes where it comes from. But those organizations and sites that present data should be able to stand behind their work.
And here we have a perfect example. Since you have relied on opinions of climate change presented as data, you have a different opinion than someone who has actually reviewed and quantified data on the subject.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
