You can’t just declare a megathread.
But we have no idea what troops those are. Also they’re pointing their guns at nothing, like they’re trying to look like they’re doing something when they really aren’t.
God this is such bad faith bullshit. Fuck off.
what you may assume and words you put in my mouth do not constitute any argument I’ve made
Then please explain what the following means, because it isn’t proper grammar and you just called my best attempt at interpreting it “words I put in your mouth”.
in a context where the two are only political bias is being discussed
How about you respond to the part where I respond to what’s left of your comment?
in a context where the two are only political bias is being discussed
This part is malformed, I’m not even entirely sure what it’s supposed to say. I’ll assume this:
in a context where the two (left and right) are the only political biases being discussed
So you’re saying that the site just doesn’t consider centrist bias at all but only looks at left and right? Why is that? Centrist bias a form of bias too, isn’t it? Why don’t they consider centrist bias?
no, it’s just a rebuttal to an unproven and slanderous accusation.
It’s unprovable, which you know damn well. I know what I saw in your comment though and you telling me otherwise is gaslighting.
you’re welcome to try to prove any wrongdoing on my part, and I’ll point to the fact that many of your comments are edited as well.
Legit fucking gaslighting. You know damn well there isn’t an edit history. But I replied to the part you removed with:
What, political bias vs political alignment?
My edits have not removed anything like yours have.
lmao you went back and edited your comment to remove the part I replied to (political bias vs political alignment).
I see nothing left in your comment that explains how that’s not what the spectrum illustrates. Here’s what you haven’t removed so far:
all that you’ve proven is that it is, in fact, you who cannot distinguish centrism from being unbiased because you conflate the center of a bias spectrum with political centrism in a context where the two are only political bias is being discussed and you’e trying to inject political alignment as a Straw man

That’s literally the argument BrooklynMan is making. He’s saying “that’s not what the spectrum illustrates” without giving any proof as to what it illustrates.
Where did you explain that? Please quote it.
You don’t even know what that means and you’re just throwing it around on things that aren’t that. Citing logical fallacies is useless and the absolute worst debate bro thought terminating cliche.
What, political bias vs political alignment? Again, where would a heavily biased, centrist aligned source go on their graph? You haven’t answered that.
What does the spectrum illustrate if not bias? Because it sure looks like it’s a scale of bias: Extreme Left Bias, Left Bias, Left-Center Bias, Least Bias, Right-Center Bias, Extreme Right Bias. And it sure seems to correspond with the part of the article right below it that explicitly says “Right-Center Bias”
And again, where would a centrist biased source go on that spectrum?
Also: ad hominem if you want to just link logical fallacies.
And it is your responsibility. You are trying to disprove what I said but have offered no proof otherwise.
Please tell me where on their bias spectrum a centrist biased source would go. I’m not conflating anything, the site is.
Are you saying that being a centrist and being unbiased are the same? Is there no such thing as a centrist bias?
And don’t say I’m putting words in your mouth. You said that my comment isn’t fact, so what about it isn’t factual?
Or are you saying the site does make that distinction? Because their scale of left bias - unbiased - right bias with a complete lack of centrist bias is proof that they don’t. Here’s the proof of my claim, right from their website, the center is labeled “least biased”:
Media Bias Fact Check, the site that makes no distinction between centrism and being unbiased.
Generally aligning stuff isn’t nice. But if you do, it’s tabs up to whatever level of indentation you’re at then spaces the rest of the way. So you wouldn’t have to assume a tab size. And the tabs and spaces have different semantic meaning (indent vs alignment) so mixing them makes sense. It’s even built into Jetbrains IDEs, where it’s called “Smart Tabs”.
Although really just adding a level of indent is better than aligning.
Probably not the most, but:
