Sounds like a coup might be incoming.

The only person who said 3 days was some random US general, why are y'all using it as some sort of gotcha?

WaPo just publishes Bezos's marketing emails.

lol you didn't even bother clicking the link did you?

VOA is part of the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM), the government agency that oversees all non-military, U.S. international broadcasting. It is funded by the U.S. Congress.

Type: Statutory corporation with a royal charter

A statutory corporation is a government entity created as a statutory body by statute.

It doesn't matter what language you try to couch it in, "state funded", "editorial independence", whatever. It was founded by the state, is funded by the state, and is a government entity. If it quacks like a duck.

mediabiasfactcheck, the site that squashes two complex spectrums (left vs right, unbiased vs biased) into a one dimensional line, making no distinction between centrism and being unbiased.

and reliable reporting as you can get outside the BBC

"Russian state owned media bad. British state owned media good."

I guess you’re just assuming it’s bad based on its name

No, we know it's bad because it's literally run by the US government.

You probably weren’t even alive under communism. Or if you were you were a child.

Putin isn’t a Nazi, Prigozhen is.

And even if it was Nazi vs Nazi, you shouldn’t be rooting for either side.

Why are you rooting for the Nazi private military?

Can we please not have a default avatar? I specifically want no avatar.

if you change tab with then your space alignment breaks

No, it doesn't? Here's the exact same text content with different tab widths:

The tabs are smaller but the spaces are the same, so the alignment remains.

Are you saying that being a centrist and being unbiased are the same? Is there no such thing as a centrist bias?

And don’t say I’m putting words in your mouth. You said that my comment isn’t fact, so what about it isn’t factual?

Or are you saying the site does make that distinction? Because their scale of left bias - unbiased - right bias with a complete lack of centrist bias is proof that they don’t. Here’s the proof of my claim, right from their website, the center is labeled “least biased”:

Media Bias Fact Check, the site that makes no distinction between centrism and being unbiased.

But with tabs each contributor is free to choose how the indent looks. If it looks horrible on some system, that’s a configuration issue.

Tabs make more sense because that’s exactly what they’re for, indents. Ignoring how it looks, which makes more semantic sense for an indent,

<indent character>

<space character>

<space character>

Generally aligning stuff isn’t nice. But if you do, it’s tabs up to whatever level of indentation you’re at then spaces the rest of the way. So you wouldn’t have to assume a tab size. And the tabs and spaces have different semantic meaning (indent vs alignment) so mixing them makes sense. It's even built into Jetbrains IDEs, where it's called "Smart Tabs".

Although really just adding a level of indent is better than aligning.

Do you purposefully include "their neighbor" because you know your statements would apply the the US invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan otherwise? Is invading a neighboring country somehow worse than invading one on the other side of the world?

Ukraine will be in Moscow any day now!

What kind of visual are you thinking for the grouping? Underlines, separators, spacing, something else?
