minus-squareBrianTheeBiscuiteer@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up8·8 days agoI’d say it’s more like he “baselessly accuses” them. Saying your source is social media is about as meaningful as saying your source is your gut.
minus-squaremosiacmangolinkfedilinkarrow-up13·edit-28 days agoHe said his source was “a man on TV.” Not even social media. He saw “a man” on the “tv” say it, so it must be true. Did he specify what man? No. What TV show? No. The moderators had comments from Springfield officials, and he had a nebulous TV man. That’s just false, not even baseless.

minus-squareGithyanki@lemmings.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·7 days agoI’m a man, and I’m on TV. So a man on TV said it. And a very credible man I should add, as I am very credible. So your source is yourself, saying what you said right now?

minus-squareEvilBit@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·7 days agoI mean to qualify as “falsely”, which is stronger than “baselessly”. I don’t doubt your position, I’m just appreciating that a media outlet is calling out falsehoods clearly without using softened terms.
