    I highly doubt the person you’re replying to read the article I posted, nor did they actually do any additional research, as claimed, before deciding that this was “*fAkE nEwS.” Because you’re right, the sources of the boycotts are clearly cited in the article.

      This is something cons do a lot. You point out something dumb they are doing, and then they will downplay. Even though all the leaders of the dumb cons are the ones broadcasting this garbage.

      I read it. It’s just the source is non credible and the Twitter post it points to is so small that it’s obviously a non issue. The Twitter post having 2.1k likes. That’s not significant.

        What are you basing that claim on? Because it’s patently false. They’re a highly credible source with a clean fact-check record.

        https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/them-us/

        Overall, we rate Them.us Left Biased based on story selection and editorial positions that routinely favor the left. We also rate them High for factual reporting due to proper sourcing and a clean fact-check record.
        
         Bias Rating: LEFT  
         Factual Reporting: HIGH  
         Country: USA  
         Press Freedom Rating: MOSTLY FREE  
         Media Type: Website  
         Traffic/Popularity: Medium Traffic  
         MBFC Credibility Rating: HIGH CREDIBILITY
        
         Failed Fact Checks:
        
          None in the Last 5 years
        

        So stop making things up. I actually know the sources I share on Lemmy are credible and will back it up every single time people try to start making up lies and shouting “fake news” because they don’t like the headline of an article I’ve posted.

          Show me a significant amount of Republicans boycotting froot loops besides the 2.1k likes on a Twitter post.
