    The thread parent posted, as a quote from somewhere:

    Cartridges with "transgender and anti-fascist" writing on them were found.

    A responder replied:

    are you seeing that in the article?

    Because that claim was not in the article posted.

    I replied, what you're linking to:

    That’s from other reporting, but it is being reported from legitimate sources.

    That it was being reported. At legitimate sources. Which it was. Being reported.

    I would argue that news organizations that report about something that could incite more violence without knowing any details is not legitimate.

    Edit: Downvote me all you want, but reporting on something that immediately sounded made up without asking any more questions or knowing any details is journalistic malpractice.

    I downvoted you because you're making it out like I was being disingenuous, which I clearly was not.

    You gave credence to an wild claim with no available evidence or details because it came from "legitimate sources", even though it was obvious they were trying to push a narrative. Then you turned around and demanded a higher standard when someone claimed the opposite. They're both untrustworthy without verification, and it is a bit hypocritical to say one was legitimate while immediately doubting the other.

    Well fuck me seems I really hit a nerve. I was just pointing out some passing observations. Its not like I'm screaming about some strongly held opinion. I was just giving my two cents and people are jumping all over me, and I genuinely don't know why the strong reaction.

    You’re being pedantic for the sake of pedantry. You didn’t hit a nerve, you’re just being really fucking annoying.

    You seem very angry. I wasn't trying to troll just point things out that I noticed and it resulted in me getting cussed out. I understand disagreements, but I was civil the whole time. I'm guessing you're saying I'm being pedantic about op being hypocritical? Maybe. But in the end all I was trying to say was people need to reevaluate what they consider legitimate. Any news that reported trans idealogy was carved into the bullet casing without asking any further questions is absolute trash journalism.

    ... no...

    Are you disagreeing and trying to support that trash journalism? I generally don't understand.

    You realize a 34-counts-of-fraud, demented rapist is in the White House with this corporate news system doing what it does right?

    Malpractice? We are so far away from what they're doing being called journalism now we can't talk about malpractice for a long time.
