My first or maybe second car was a Saab.
A Saab 900. I hated that car.

Fuckin Saab...

a painter I used to work with used to swear it was a luxury car when I was younger
On par with Audi and stuff..
What a nob

well Aero was not bad or the Griffin
Saab was actually good cars mine sucked because it was old.
Also I would not consider Audi a luxury car.
I mean they have a wide range of models and the lower ones are not luxury .

Oh absolutely, pickpocketing is the real fine art though.

I will grant you that, plus the funniest member of any crime team is usually the pick pocket with an attitude.

Lounge Lizards, give me your thoughts on this.

I've seen a couple of liberal (i.e. not socialistic or anti-imperialistic, but staunchly pro-choice, anti-Trump, pro-RBG) friends share this chart. Upon further review, it's been shared over 8,000 times.

In short, I think this is fucking atrocious bothsidesist nonsense that likely does far more to amplify problems in discourse than it does to solve them, since it incorrectly analogizes left/right slanted sources as counterpoints and by virtue of the fact that consumers of right-wing sources are demonstrably unconcerned with bias anyways.

Probably the single worst placement is the Washington Times. According to the chart, it's roughly comparable to CNN in terms of bias and analysis. This is beyond absurd. The Washington Times is an expressly partisan outlet that was created to combat the supposed liberal bias of all other major media outlets.

Similarly, Townhall and The Blaze are grouped as better outlets in terms of bias and quality than MSNBC (accurate and original reporting) and Jacobin (high-level partisan analysis).

Both. sides. ism.

@Limbo Pete @PolishHeadlock2 @Kafir-kun Because I feel like tagging people but don't know anyone that is specifically relevant.

Not perfect, but one of the better charts imo. Washington Times is clearly worse than CNN according to the y-axis of the chart. I agree with you on the topic of bias, according to which the WT would have to be placed further right, but imo the colored rectangles are the key takeaway. And if people understand from it that CNN >>> Fox News, then that's already a good thing.

Lol. War TMZ. Kicking cable news in the ass for reliability.

And lol at MSNBC being held in the same rank as OAN and the Blaze. Ouch.

Really?
In the UK audi is absolutely in the big 3 with merc and bmw
I’ve had one of each and can’t report any brand loyalty, I put them all at the same tbh

 

[BAM]

Anyone here heard of "nationalist right" as some specific subgroup of people?

Well they have premium segments but calling a BMW 318 or a Audi 4a a luxury car is a bit much.
I would definitely claim a mid range SAAB or Volvo is more luxury than those cars.

Even on the right side OANN, Fox, Breitbart and National Review are all on the same level with OANN being the most reliable?

OANN is so, so closes to ONAN. What a bunch of jerkoffs.

Are you sure?

Yes bitch why?

As an amateur recreational pickpocket who used to love taking my friends' phones and watching them freak out, I give mad props to anyone that can actually get a wallet out of a back pocket.

They can get the wallet from the inside of your jacket while they're looking you dead in the eye.
