A federal judge in Florida on Friday permanently blocked a key part of Governor Ron DeSantis’s anti-woke legislation that would have banned diversity- and race-related training in private workplaces.

    I don’t like NR and their conservative bias is very much on their sleeve, but “isn’t a credible source” is a bit of a stretch.

      They lean pretty far right and are known to use emotional sensationalism in their articles. I’d much rather get my news from AP.

        I would too, they are not my first pick, but saying a source isn’t credible is a big accusation. Idk I’m probably overthinking it. When I think of not credible I think of Tucker Carlson, Fox News, Breitbart. Truly lying sources.

          You’re cool to state your concerns.
          The fact that you weren’t dogpiled caught my eye.

          Just sayin’

            Appreciate it. Unfortunately I know myself and sometimes I come off incredibly strong/hostile or I am too charitable with not a whole lot of in between. But I am really, really trying hard to take a step back these days and assess things with a little cooler head.

              Lemmy dogpiles by default. Far, far worse than reddit ever did. And I’ve proven it (to myself!).

              So, I try to call it out when I see it (always), but I also notice when it doesn’t happen, such as now.

      after the fox news docs were released in the dominion lawsuit where all the anchors knew they were lying but they did it because they feared losing watchers to newsmax should be a lesson in how the audience (and modern conservatives in particular) affects the market and how having a conspiratorial fan base will necessarily result in a credibility spiral.

      Honestly it should be called the “Fox Newsmax” effect, or something. So its like, yes, the national review is probably in a similar spiral.
