there's an "um" and an "uh."
I don't have a NYT subscription but my impression is that the overall complaint is: when the NYT reports on Trump's statements w/o necessarily quoting them, they "sanewash" them, which is a different claim from what people are claiming here, which is policy on quoting

I quoted from an article about Trump's incoherence. again, the NYT wrote an entire article about this!
also, AOC didn't merely say um/uh. she couldn't and didn't answer a critically important FP question at a FP conference. (no, that was not strategic ambiguity either)

when did he say he voted for Kamala? here he explicitly says he won't say which Presidential candidate he voted for:

you wrote: "I cannot recall anytime [the NYT] literally included 'ums' and 'uhs' into a quote." so I gave an example, and it's not the only example.
surely if the NYT had written a whole article about AOC being incoherent, you would have strongly objected, so I don't understand your point.

no, people know what a gallon of gasoline costs and what certain grocery staples cost and can tell if the prices rise. what they generally can't tell is if median wages rose more than inflation (which is what actually happened during Biden's term)

I ignored that. I asked if YOU are claiming HRW = genocide deniers here b/c I cited HRW: bsky.app/profile/nuri...
in response, you linked to a Guardian article about a controversy at HRW, indeed implying that you think HRW = genocide deniers
you are profoundly dishonest, so I'm blocking you.

I posted a link to HRW. Are you claiming HRW = genocide deniers? Forensic Architecture originally tried to claim an Israeli artillery shell caused the Al Ahli blast:

Their 2024 "new evidence" says it's "inconclusive." they retracted their original claim w/o admitting it

I don't know what you're saying. but here's another data point: only 12% of Americans who were shown the Sydney Sweeney jeans ad said it was offensive:

imagine what would have happened if someone here tried to argue it wasn't offensive.

why? few people on BSky identify as liberal. if given a choice between "very liberal" and "liberal" (the only options left of center), BSkyers would pick "very liberal." which is 9% of Americans - exactly what I originally said (<10%).

'Liberal', 'left,' 'conservative,' and 'right': Americans identify their ideology | YouGov
Americans mostly view "liberal" and "left" and "conservative" and "right" as synonyms.
I meant progressives. in any case, there is a poll that addresses this:
today.yougov.com/politics/art...
given a choice between liberal and very liberal, 9% of Americans identify as "very liberal" (i.e. BSky); 17% identify as liberal. (the question about left is more vague, could include liberals)

The debate on BSky ranges from the far-left to the progressive left. that represents <10% of the American population.
I mean, factional debates within the left have long been a thing

I didn't see your post, and now it looks like I plagiarized it. oops. but yeah, there does seem to be epidemiological evidence that diet soda consumption may be associated with reductions in kidney function. and diet cola consumption may be associated with kidney stone formation.

I really think this is due to diet soda satisfying a sweet tooth. I say this as someone with a sweet tooth.
I do not think headlines suggesting diet soda may be healthier than water are responsible b/c this study didn't look at, say, kidney health, where diet cola/soda may pose a risk

a scammer did actually do that to me, which motivated me to get a dashcam. I really do recommend that everyone get a dashcam. but yeah, I do not believe ICE's claim. e.g.:

someone should collect these videos of ICE driving recklessly, causing accidents, and then lying

I had an asthma attack when exposed to cleaning chemicals while wearing an N95 (at a grocery store). you really need a full-face respirator with organic vapor cartridges if you're going to be exposed to tear gas
