[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 4811462, member: 63706"] Notice how the link starts with "Opinion". This is what newspapers used to do to separate out their actual news stories from their garbage opinion pieces. It helped protect them from libel suits. That's why journalism standards are important. Once the internet hit, and every Russian or Chinese bot could write, post and have Google promote their poorly written articles to drive traffic for ad revenue, all bets were off. Major news outlets started following the business model, figuring the internet made them libel proof, I guess, so all standards were jettisoned. The CCP took notice, and made deals with Google in order to allow them to operate in China, and allow the CCP to shape western thought through manipulated search results. That's how we got to where we are today. It seems as though, now that people realize they can sue for libel, standards are maybe starting to creep back in. [/QUOTE]
