Hello Putin, my old friend.
Why would they write “NATO ally” instead of “Sweden”?
I assume the title has been edited since your comment, but I’m sitting here giggling about:
Sweden (Sweden) reveals…
I believe it is called “clickbait.” As in “Click here to find out what terrible thing just happened to which NATO ally!”
Somehow “ally” in this context makes it sound like Sweden is not part of NATO.
Here are a few potential theories:
- Conspiracy nut
- Criminal gang acting on behalf of a foreign government
- Domestic terrorist, recruited by foreign government
- Foreign agent
At this point I am leaning towards it being a conspiracy nut
russia has been found to pay delinquents and gangs to sabotage stuff in their countries. A conspiracy nut would probably be even cheaper, you just have to wind them up enough.
why, though? the other options would be just as likely
Simply because there are more conspiracy nuts than people and governments wanting to destroy infrastructure
You forgot the last option : it was me being terrible at my job
Another source:
Newsweek is a terrible publication because all of their articles are extremely left leaning:

Not sure if you are joking or not, but I’m pretty sure that only shows a default starting position of the “gauge”, and not the rating it has received so far. It’s bad design because it looks like everything is left-leaning, but I guess they wanted to uae a gauge in the neutral position as an illustration. I might be wrong though…
It is objectively bad design that the arrow is leaning far left by default. It makes you wonder what else they messed up.
/s? newsweek may be terrible, but that is not the reason.
It is right there in the picture
The thing is for you to rate your opinion on how you think the author did when writing the article it is not to tell the reader how biased the article is.
The thing that says “click to rate” and has the pointer arm off the chart in it’s default “rest” position.
Right, it’s right there
Thanks for breaking down how poorly this bias indicator is implemented. That is the point that I wanted to make.
