Is the "k-word" the Arabic for infidel? If yes, were there a lot of Arabs/Arabic speakers in South Africa?

Can you use "hey everyone" or does that offend schizophrenics?

Lula was the incumbent. What does Russia have to do with anything?

Bolsanaro (the fellow in jail/house arrest) is the one favoured by Trump.

I'm told this is due to 3 of 4 generations of academics using the techniques from the Frankfurt School. Their grand-students would never have seen unbiased reporting as they've been taught to look at things through "lenses," and worse: "intersectional lenses."

Manufactured outrage.

There are some people who just follow you around and downvote.

It's visible right there in their vocabulary:

"Reporting" is replaced with "story," so journalists no longer journal - i.e. keep a record of what events took place, but turn it into a "story." A story has to have interesting elements, so now the creative writing has to be demonstrated, with a "hook" and a "narrative."

And instead of number of subscribers, they count "eyeballs" and "clicks" and "clickthroughs."

These things are highly subjective, but when I used to subscribe to the physical magazine, the tone of even the political articles was neutral.

I used to subscribe to SciAm, just looked at their website after around 3 years, and the lead article is "Why partisan politics may be changing people's accents."

The Atlantic went the same way, but as more mainstream magazine, that's kind of okay. Not acceptable for SciAm.

A decent human being doesn't pray for "glassing" a country.

Their language chauvinism is a sign of insecurity and indeed caused their current predicament: The Ukraine is the only country in the world which has banned a language: Russian.

Neutral country? They were collaborating with NATO.

Vote banks. Look it up.
