Sure sure, and we Finns are actually originally from ancient New York. Got tired of the silly accent and decided to invent ralli-englanti, the only proper way to speak English.

In the other thread YOU linked to this very credible source:

(https://thepostmillennial.com)

(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Post_Millennial)



Remember what I did when critiquing "thepostmillenial". I didn't just say they're shit. I demonstrated, with specific examples, how there was systematic bias that you can see throughout the reporting on their website. You in fact haven't done that for news.com.au

Why do you think they're not a credible source on news about the war or international politics? Find me some politics or world stories they ballsed up, or where the text demonstrates bias.

Also, if you want to engage in source criticism, you shouldn't instantly defer to Al Jazeera, which is a government-owned news source from a dictatorship with a questionable human rights record, and have been accused by their own employees of manipulating the content to fit the Qatari governments political and foreign policy agenda:

(https://www.dw.com/en/suliman-al-jazeera-plays-the-piper-but-qatar-calls-the-tune/a-16477490)

Also the Qatari emir who recently met with Putin is the son and successor of the previous emir who personally funded and set up Al Jazeera:

(https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/qatars-emir-we-have-strong-historic-relations-with-russia-al-jazeera-2022-10-13/)

So yeah, Al Jazeera can be used as a source, taken with a grain of salt, but it seems like a bad look to go from "I doubt that source", to immediately link a source owned by the government of a dictatorship and which was set up and funded directly BY the dictator. Al Jazeera is designed to "feel" like the BBC, but every story, as needed, is filtered, framed, omits or slants things to align with Qatar government's domestic and foreign policy.

news.com.au is run by the same people who publish some of the biggest newspapers in each of the capital cities in Australia. It's pretty mainstream stuff. It's also a collaboration with Channel 9, which is one of the three mainstream TV networks in the country, equivalent to CBS, NBC and ABC in America. Hell, it's run by the same people who run the Wall Street Journal. So it is in fact backed by professional journalists and the same media sources used by the television networks here and major newspapers.

in fact the main actual criticism of news.com.au, is that it's owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. So if anything, you should be concerned about whether the site has too much conservative bias. but their actual political and world news reporting has always been pretty good, probably because it's only 50% News Corp and the other 50% is owned by Channel 9, so they can't go too far with the right-wing stuff on that.

One reason I post from that is to avoid the accusation that I'm only posting "leftist" sources. I could link The Guardian and ABC/SBS only, those woke leftist media outlets.



Well you must have been following the war in Ukraine very closely /s

They've been mentioned constantly in news reports since the day the war began.

"Enlarge your Russia"

Russia is "enlarging", ha ha.

If you want a reason for the war, look no further than penis envy. That's all realism really is anyway.

Well, that clears it up. There is no way Australia could fit without taking Ukraine.

I do love the fact that he saved Texas for last.
