Now, these degenerate enforcers of the law may appear to be racist reprobates with nothing but hatred and filth in their hearts, but they are no doubt consummate professionals that deserve the public's support, respect and admiration.
Hey if you don't want me positing Breitbart news links would you stop posting NPR ones?

You need to learn the difference between bias and credibility. Hint: it's quite possible to be biased while doing solid journalism (see the Economist). Breitbart's problem isn't its bias; it's the fact it's racist trash.
So what right wing biased sources do you think should be used Loki?Quote:

Lewk, plainviewproject.org is the source of the study, NPR is just reporting on it. :donkey:
WSJ is generally credible. The Economist is right-wing economically. Heritage used to be credible before it was overrun by Trumpists. Reason is usually solid.Quote:

You were so quick to diss "liberal media" that you exposed your own right-wing conservative bias. :rolleyes:
Lewk doesn't understand credible, or he wouldn't constantly be linking to fox, breitbart or random discredited conservative fly by night operations. He wants to pretend that both sides are equal, that if there is dirt being reported on one side, the other side HAS to have something equally as bad to report on, even if it needs fabricated. He wants false neutrality without admitting thats just propaganda.Quote:

Lewk can be the bad apple that ruins discussions with his diversions (trolling), but only if we let him. :bored:
I was hoping others would actually comment about the project/study:
What should be done when police (even if they've retired) post hateful and bigoted comments on social media?
Who should be responsible for 'monitoring' hate speech made by public officials/law enforcement?
When should it be reported? By and to whom?
What happens when hate speech goes underground and offline?
Etc.
Extremely disturbing culture of racism, misogyny and dehumanization at another US agency:

Seems it's been known as 'part of the culture' for years but DHS hasn't done anything about it.Quote:

Heidi Beirich, the director of the Intelligence Project at the Southern Poverty Law Center, said she’d been pressing Facebook to pursue secret groups like 10-15 and hidden hate speech for years. Facebook, she said, “can use their AI or their people to identify these groups, and with the horrible language in there, they should have been finding these people.”
Facebook has not yet responded to questions from ProPublica."
