      I just dislike sensationalism.

      If the truth isn’t enough, then I don’t want it.

          Hopefully Analog returns to Lemmy in far less than 12 days, and heavily edits their comments to reflect their error

                The comments I replied to were heavily edited after I replied. You can comment at the bottom with an Edit: and then explain what you changed. Otherwise, it is known as a ninja edit and it is generally frowned upon because it makes the conversations convoluted. Cheers!

                Since you care deeply about truth or something, when will you be correcting your comments that, at best, lack huge amounts of truth that change the contents you put forth? At best, you accidentally skipped multiple paragraphs that contradict your claims. At less best, you knew better.

                  Post said he said a thing. He did not say the thing. Not complicated.

                  Could have worded the post title to be accurate: didn’t. Instead, lied.

                  Words matter. Truth matters. Interpretation is how you get religious people performing atrocities based on millennia old writings.

                  “[Asshole] Squirms Under Questioning, Refuses To Admit 16hrs A Day Is Addictive Behavior.”

                  Not hard.

                    Your comments now are a huge shift from

                    “That sounds like problematic use,” the Instagram boss answered. He did not call it an addiction.

                    He also didn’t say it was a tomato.

                    Seems that, in the interest of accuracy, you should update them, lest you be the thing you claim others are.

        Yeah and you probably think headlines that say “suspect dead after ICE-involved incident” is fine and that “ICE performs summary execution of innocent person” is sensationalism.
