    This reads as a bad faith argument that says “I’m in charge and this article I don’t agree with that’s also putting down my political opponent gets to stay up. I believe that debate about truthfulness is as important or more important than debate over agreed upon truth.” I don’t feel this article has any less bias just because it’s not from Not The Bee. It’s an obviously biased article AS YOU POINT OUT but in the name of debate it must stay. In 6 months when nobody has proven you wrong, you’ll have given further reach to an article you don’t believe in and not everyone is going to read your comment. Is the community better for it?

      Debate about truthfulness is at least as important as debates over agreed upon truth. It’s a fundamental question that’s rarely asked these days. Agreed upon truth take certain frames for granted, and those frames may be wrong.

      It’s certainly not worse off for it.
