            Easier to convince people he’s a dumbass than it is to convince people it’s an act.

    “Job Data” isn’t created by the Federal Government, dipshit.

      Strictly speaking, it’s assembled and released by the Bureau of Labor and Statistics, which is absolutely a federal agency.

      But the sources for the data are diverse, public, and easily reproducible. It’s not just the commissioner pulling numbers out of a hat.

      The Poynter Institute is the center for the IFCN, an organization that holds fact-checking organizations accountable, and includes respected organizations like Snopes, Mediawise, and FactCheck.org. MBFC is not a signatory to the IFCN’s code of principles, and its determinations of factuality and bias have little to do with the work of these organizations, despite right-wing ‘independent voter’ Dave Van Zandt’s claims to the contrary.

Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage.

This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed.
