Do they have a history of lying? I follow their reporting, and have generally found them reliable.","comments":[{"id":43097477,"user":"calmbonsai","time":1739928499,"time_ago":"a year ago","type":"comment","content":"

You really can’t make that kind of accusation without proof. Got any?","comments":[{"id":43097959,"user":"calmbonsai","time":1739932911,"time_ago":"a year ago","type":"comment","content":"

> Google is your friend.

I'm not a fan of The Verge, but this is extremely lazy. If you're going to accuse, the very least you can do is provide one link. You know that Google "bubbles" results, so your searches can lead to completely different information than someone else's, right?","comments":[{"id":43121046,"user":"netsharc","time":1740089931,"time_ago":"a year ago","type":"comment","content":"

"Google is your friend" is an inaccurate statement, huh.. if you want proof that the earth is flat, it can provide you with links that you can selectively filter with your confirmation bias to believe that. If you think Covid is a hoax, you can use Google to find webpages to confirm this, but when Google/YouTube disallows Covid-disinformation videos, the average nutter will start screaming "Censorship!". So much for Google being their friend.","comments":[],"comments_count":0,"level":5,"url":"item?id=43121046"},{"id":43123227,"user":"calmbonsai","time":1740103484,"time_ago":"a year ago","type":"comment","content":"

I provided 2 direct links to 2 very bad Verge stories--one of which had since fallen under their paywall as I mentioned.","comments":[],"comments_count":0,"level":5,"url":"item?id=43123227"}],"comments_count":2,"level":4,"url":"item?id=43105964"}],"comments_count":3,"level":3,"url":"item?id=43097959"}],"comments_count":4,"level":2,"url":"item?id=43097507"}],"comments_count":5,"level":1,"url":"item?id=43097477"}],"comments_count":6,"level":0,"url":"item?id=43097451"}],"comments_count":7,"url":"item?id=43097332"}
