fair.

Skepticism is healthy in this day and age, but that site is also biased btw. Even the founder says their methodology isn’t unbiased.

When determining bias, there isn’t any true scientific formula that is 100% objective. There are objective measures that can be calculated, but ultimately there will be some subjective judgment to determine these. We have put up a scale with a yellow dot on each page that shows the degree of bias for each source. Each page also has a “detailed report” section that gives some details about the source and explains their bias.

When calculating bias, we are looking at political bias, how factual the information is, and links to credible, verifiable sources. Therefore, the yellow dot may indicate political bias or how factual a source is, or in many cases, both. It is important to note that our bias scale is based on the USA political scale, which may differ from other countries. For example, the Democratic Party of the USA is considered centrist or even right-center in many countries worldwide; however, in the USA, they are considered Left-Center. Please keep this in mind if our ratings seem off in your native country. (08/08/2022)

It’s a site run by one guy and 3 volunteers. Not really the greatest source.

Ah yes, the typical two-sideism crap.

Well if Aljazeera is the problem in your eyes, do you also think Ynet which reported it in the first place and shows pictures (which is what Aljazeera based their report on had you bothered to read the article), is also biased?

After 9/11, USA went into a bloodlust, invading Afghanistan because they (Taliban) wanted proof that Osama bin Laden was involved with the terrorist attack first. bin Laden fled to Pakistan, but the USA didn’t invade them, nor threatened to. Instead, USA just kept their boots on foreign soil because, hey, free real state and cheap poppy, amirite?

Just to add to your point.

From way before 9-11

Before the Invasion

After the invasion.

They’re mostly a bunch of neo-colonists that believe in western exceptionalism and won’t spend any time learning about the country the west occupied for over 20 years, let alone the complicated dynamics of the country.

I mean legit half the comments are variants of “We need to civilize the savages”.

Reminds me of all the crocodile tears against leaving Afghanistan in the first place “Think of the women!” they cried, well what happened when the country was dealing with a famine (which of course impacted millions of Afghani women) and the US stole half of Afghani assets at a time they desperately needed it? crickets.

Propaganda is a hell of a drug.

Remember when the Afghan people had a phenomenally well equipped and well trained army, and then they just gave up inside a week because things were “hard”?

You didn’t read the Afghanistan Papers did you?

People should really read the Afghanistan Papers. It makes the picture much clearer on why this epidemic is so … muted.

Where did you get it from? There’s a bunch of posts when I search, but no actual app

Bull. Shit.
