Only Zionist propaganda is allowed in the US

I wouldn't trust any organization that has "truth" in its name. It's like the car salesperson who says "Trust me" way too much.

And according to Media Bias/Fact Check, they've got a clear bias and are not classified as factual reporting.

Pretty sure they are referencing a publicly available interview

edit: wild to me that people are downvoting a comment providing an additional source, but whatever I guess

The tiktok hate on this platform is bizarre.

[–] archomrade@midwest.social 2 points 6 months ago

I think it just got hyper-politicized and segregated along political lines during the reddit migration.

You can pretty well predict the comment sentiment based on how the topic relates to political discourse. It's not surprising that a liberal-dominated instance would view TikTok through a political lense, even if it's super disappointing.

Other privacy-focused instances might see this less politically but lemmy.world has become centered around liberal politics.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

It's literally a video interview of Romney and Blinken talking about why TikTok had to be shut down.

That does seem to be how the article (and Twitter comment) framed it, yes

[–] Mrkawfee@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Yes. I'm not clear on why you went on a tangent about how untrustworthy the site linking the video is.

How the article framed it does not mean that's what the video was about
