    How about a less biased source? I don’t think salon could say something positive about a conservative parent if they wanted to…

      What’s there to say? There’s a reasonable, economically conservative party in America, and it’s called the Democratic Party.

      Nice comment to break your Lemmy cherry on btw. Defending an outright segregationist, if you had read the article for even a paragraph.

        Hey thanks! It’s great to be here.

        I think it’s important to exercise some intellectual humility and be open to other sources and be willing to question information that we agree with if it’s coming from a single source - especially if that source has an open bias.

      Are you claiming they didn’t quote them accurately or that they didn’t spin the story to make racists look like the good guys?

        We don’t know what we don’t know - I would begin with a less biased source or include two sources with contrary biases.
