    You see, there is exactly one person working for newspapers who is in charge of writing articles.

    Whenever they write something criticizing something I am obsessed with, it’s the only article posted on a given day and meant to distract the sheeple from some other horrific thing going on at the same time. That’s not whataboutism, it’s different because I’m doing it.

      Kinda related way editorials work. If a news source endorses a candidate or published an editorial that is their opinion forever. They own absolute loyalty to the candidate and support everything they have ever done or said in the past and in the future.

      Every article every written, every social media post, all of it forever and ever are to be viewed under the lens of the one time someone working there expressed a viewpoint. Did the Guardian write a single article that seemed biased towards a side of a conflict? That gets round up to absolute loyalty to that side.
