Type: Statutory corporation with a royal charter

A statutory corporation is a government entity created as a statutory body by statute.

It doesn't matter what language you try to couch it in, "state funded", "editorial independence", whatever. It was founded by the state, is funded by the state, and is a government entity. If it quacks like a duck.

mediabiasfactcheck, the site that squashes two complex spectrums (left vs right, unbiased vs biased) into a one dimensional line, making no distinction between centrism and being unbiased.

and reliable reporting as you can get outside the BBC

"Russian state owned media bad. British state owned media good."

I guess you’re just assuming it’s bad based on its name

No, we know it's bad because it's literally run by the US government.

You probably weren’t even alive under communism. Or if you were you were a child.

Putin isn’t a Nazi, Prigozhen is.

And even if it was Nazi vs Nazi, you shouldn’t be rooting for either side.

You can't just declare a megathread.

But we have no idea what troops those are. Also they're pointing their guns at nothing, like they're trying to look like they're doing something when they really aren't.

Generally aligning stuff isn’t nice. But if you do, it’s tabs up to whatever level of indentation you’re at then spaces the rest of the way. So you wouldn’t have to assume a tab size. And the tabs and spaces have different semantic meaning (indent vs alignment) so mixing them makes sense. It's even built into Jetbrains IDEs, where it's called "Smart Tabs".

Although really just adding a level of indent is better than aligning.

You're supporting US foreign policy by repeating pro-NATO talking points.

I also have another colleague from Ukraine who left in 2014… Guess why

The US backed coup led by militant fascists? The new government's violent response to people of the Donbass wanting to secede?
