    Yes, it does.

    If the title was “Linking the Delta crash to DEI”, then it would be amplifying the lies. (And would be click-baity to boot.)

    Maybe if the title was “Right-wing journalist links Delta crash to DEI” you might be able to argue that it was an amplifier, but the insertion of “right-wing” is clearly indicsting out that there is a bias involved that is being called out.

    Adding “gross” cannot be more clear. If you are unable to comprehend that this is saying that linking the two is disgusting and unfactual, then you will never comprehend anything that is written to indicate that, whether it’s before or after the the statement.

    You are now erroneously calling out two people (the youtuber and the OP here) who are clearly calling out the terrible behaviour of the person making the link, instead of praising them for standing up to that “media host”.

        Good idea, block people on your side just because you disagree with them on how the message is being sent.

          Ya, ignore that guy/girl. They’re a nut bag. Their argument is such a ridiculous false dichotomy.

            I think their idea has some validity, but the approach and reasoning are problematic. I would love to explore it more, but alas, I’m not worthy.

            “Guy/girl” and “he/she” have become anachronisms. What was once inclusive speech has become alienating phrases (not everyone is a guy/girl, or he/she), and people using them in an attempt to be inclusive are working against themselves.

                I understand that you are casting aspersions on me by comparing me to an AI, but beyond that I don’t know what you are trying to say. Perhaps I have hurt your delicate feelings? I promise it wasn’t my intent, but if it happened incidentally, you’re probably someone I don’t mind seeing it happen to.

        You’re malfunctioning. You would have been a better advocate for your cause had you said nothing. Take it from me…
