Jordan Lund at it again

Context:

The article in question was well sourced, factually accurate, and written by a well-renowned author and journalist whose work appears elsewhere too, regardless of which outlet published it.

Nonetheless, Jordan Lund is once again blindly trusting a pro-zionist conservative outlet masquerading as a bias and fact checker that nothing from anywhere that criticizes the fascist apartheid regime can be reliable 🤦

  • PTB. Anyone who knows better is aware that MBFC is extremely biased, their ratings should be taken with a grain of salt. Lund doesn't care and instead chooses to believe their word as gospel. It might even be intentional, Lund has shown in his behaviors and how he moderates a strong conservative and pro-zionist bias, which is concerning to say the least. Might be best to stay away from the communities he moderates.

    • He would gladly censor anything he disagrees with as a liberal who didn't like black people standing up for their rights to not be publicly executed.

  • PTB. Lund needs to leave Portland and see the real world lmao

    • Does Chicago count? Las Vegas? Los Angeles? Seattle? San Diego? San Francisco? Cupertino? Laguna Beach? Memphis was interesting. Not counting "airport only" trips like Denver, Atlanta, or Salt Lake City. Forgot Kona/Kailua... that one was a long time ago now...

  • This is the mod who shielded UniversalMonk for months and only banned them once like 1000 people loudly harped on it for weeks. Fuck that guy

    • Nobody shielded me. People don't get banned just because "1000 people" harp on it. If the person follows the rules of the community, then they should be allowed to stay.

      Also, about the OP's example. He deserved it. Because mint press sucks. But talking about me, in this thread if off topic. I had nothing to do with this OP.

  • YDI. Mint press sucks.

    Also, ya know, you guys can stop talking about me in this thread now. I'm not the mod that OP is talking about. I had nothing to do with it. Thanks! :)

  • You're putting a lot of effort into defending a shitty source.

    To be clear, I DON'T CARE who wrote the article. Shitty sources don't deserve the traffic.

    It could be a nobel prize winner, if it's on a questionable source, it's getting removed.

    Put on your big boy pants and find a better source.

    Edit If you CAN'T find a better source on the same story, it's an opportunity to step back ask ask why...

    • You're putting a lot of effort into defending a shitty source.

      Nope. I'm defending the ARTICLE, which has nothing to do with the more reasonable reasons to distrust Mintpress

      To be clear, I DON'T CARE who wrote the article.

      You REALLY should. Sometimes great journalists don't have the luxury of being picky about who publishes their work.

      The post is about the article and, other than not fawning over Israel, the article doesn't exemplify any of the "offenses" MBFC accuses it of.

      Shitty sources don't deserve the traffic.

      Great articles do. If anything, limiting access to the good things an otherwise questionable publisher posts reduces their incentive to publish more of that kind and less clickbaity mis/disinformation.

      It could be a nobel prize winner, if it's on a questionable source, it's getting removed

      That's 100% grade A horseshit and against the REASON to have the rule in the first place. It would behoove you to reconsider such an arbitrarily rigid approach.

      Put on your big boy pants and find a better source.

      Take off your scolding cap and stop censoring good articles for arbitrary reasons.

      Edit If you CAN'T find a better source on the same story, it's an opportunity to step back ask ask why...

      If it had been an opinion piece or breaking news making questionable claims, sure. This is neither of that and well-sourced, though, so would be more akin to dismissing a movie for being an exclusive of a streaming service you don't like.

      • Shitty sources get removed, full stop.

        The author doesn't enter into it.

        The quality of the article doesn't enter into it.

        We aren't giving traffic to them. Or Fox, or Newsmax or Oann, or, etc. etc. etc.

        If you don't like that, feel free to post elsewhere, we have higher standards.

    • You shielded universalmonk and routinely banned other people for minor insults

      • Off topic. I had nothing to do with OP's situation and I'm not the mod in question. (Also, I was never shielded)

      • Universal Monk knew right where the line was, when they crossed it, they were gone.

        Others didn't care where the line was.

  • YDI, you broke rules you got the post removed, I don't see anything wrong
