Gosh, I can't believe Forbes whiffed on a social justice issue, they've been so deeply committed to those principles throughout their publication history /s

Why does this look like it was lossy compressed 40x, then faxed to grandma?

Don’t worry, OPs telegram is on its way to everyone who visits this thread, that’ll clear things up

I am a diversity, equity and inclusion expert is essentially an academic way of saying some of my best friends are black.

So he's the black best friend...

Wait is there a chance this works?!

[–] SonicDeathTaco@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago

Yes, but Forbes is pretty white. It's the same vibe regardless.

Why is this image already so damn deep fried???

It's starting to feel like these big publications are operating as closed source online forums that they pay people to post too.

It really is getting harder to find quality fact-based reporting. I rely on sources like Allsides and Straight Arrow News but even then it’s still just rehashing (course correcting) the flavor of the day reporting.

I'm not put off to different outlets publishing their own take on things, as long as it's objective and keeps it's opinion tapered. The biggest issue I see is that too many outlets report their writers' opinions as facts, and that's how we end up in this misinformation mess we're in.

Only site that I have really been liking of late is https://www.404media.co/. Arstechinca even feels not as good as it used to but not sure if that’s me or not

Y’know! I’ve liked their articles but I’m put off by their membership model and pricing.

Ars ropes me in pretty often. It has more good content than not. The Atlantic has snuck its way into my reading lists - though it’s pretty heavily opinionated more often than not.

Try associated press, that's where most of these others get their stories from anyway

They're obviously saying he'll try to use it because he's an idiot, not suggesting that it might actually be good

The article does point out the time he tried to claim his multiple felony charges connects him to the black community. It's actually pretty good. Shame its title is so tone-deaf
