There's just no limit to the idiocy of what you post, is there.

Funded by / Ownership
In 2015, German publishing company and owner of Bild, Die Welt, and Fakt, Axel Springer, acquired Business Insider for $442 million, which brought their share to approximately 97 percent. Bezos Expeditions, the personal investment company of Jeff Bezos, will hold further shares according to the purchase details. The website is funded through online advertising.
Analysis / Bias
In review, Business Insider occasionally publishes listicles such as: “The top 10 Google searches of 2018” and “10 burning questions Americans asked Google in 2018.” Business Insider reports news and opinions with the use of moderately loaded words such as this: “Trump inexplicably told Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi that Mexico would pay for the border wall as part of the landmark new trade deal” and “China looks like it’s going to give Trump a huge symbolic trade war win, fueling hope for a big deal.” When it comes to sourcing information, they utilize credible media sources such as gbm.hsbc.com, brookings.edu, Bloomberg, Council on Foreign Relations, and asia.nikkei.com.
Politically, Business Insider leans left through both story selection and wording. Here are some examples of stories that have a leftward tilt:This last story about Ocasio-Cortez and Mike Huckabee comes directly from the strongly left-leaning Talking Points Memo.
- The odds that a gun will kill the average American may surprise you
- Mollie Tibbetts’ death used to push debunked ideas about illegal immigration and violent crime
- Big oil companies were forced to lay out the science of climate change today in a court hearing that compared to the Scopes trial on evolution
- Ocasio-Cortez burns Mike Huckabee after being mocked: ‘Leave the false statements to Sarah Huckabee. She’s much better at it.’
Failed Fact Checks
Overall, we rate Business Insider Left-Center Biased based on story selection that leans left and High for factual reporting due to proper sourcing and a reasonable fact check record. (5/15/2016) Updated (M. Huitsing 03/10/2021)

In the same range as the BBC. It's Left by contrast to FoX Propaganda Channel...
Far Left? Definitely not.
Quote:Second, the article is about the Fascist Stalinist censorship regime
of Joe Biden and the Democrats. It's the most vicious censorship
regime in decades or possibly in American history.
Your contradiction reeks. Fascism and Stalinism are not the same thing.
If there is anything to censor into oblivion that I would not miss it is medical quackery. Even pornography occasionally passes the SLAPS (Serious Literary, Artistic, Political, or Scientific merit) test on occasion. Medical quackery is pure harm. The anti-vax and anti-mask garbage is dangerous and irresponsible.
Quote:In the article, Zabihullah Mujahid is mocking the vicious Democrat
censorship regime enforced by Facebook. Donald Trump Jr is agreeing
that there is a vicious Democrat censorship regime being enforced by
Facebook.
Facebook is not a news source. It is at worst a rumor mill. Anyone who says that "I saw this on Facebook" might as well say "I heard this drunk in a bar say..." Facebook is finally trying to knock out the conspiracy theories that have plagued it. And, yes, you can post on Facebook while being a drunk in a bar.
It is a good way of keeping track of friends. It might be a good place for discussing one's experiences or sharing a recipe or travel tips. Propaganda is not a right.
Quote:It's almost beyond belief that Donald Trump is being censored by the
Democrats, and many conservatives are being censored by Democrats, but
the Taliban terrorists can use Facebook freely. In other words, the
Democrat regime is far worse than the Taliban regime, and Donald Trump
Jr was agreeing with that. That's what Zabihullah Mujahid was
mocking, and Donald Trump Jr was also mocking.
Donald Trump has done much to besmirch his credibility. I don't have a problem with Taliban putting their message into general circulation so long as they identify themselves -- until they enter the realm of the offensive. If they start offering "beheading" videos, then maybe they get cut out.
Quote:Incidentally, you're probably oblivious to this, but this afternoon,
Austin and Milley conducted a press conference during which they said
that they may be working closely with Taliban. So, as usual,
everything you've written is the exact opposite of the truth.
To cooperate in smashing ISIS-K. The Taliban and ISIS are mortal enemies. We get to choose. ISIS is far worse.
Quote:Your posts are so uniformly stupid that I'm tending to believe that
you're using them just to bait me. Even if that's true, I'm happy to
respond, since it gives an opportunity to educate any other people who
happen to read this thread. In this case, I'm educating them about
how the Democrats are worse than the Taliban, and how they're working
closely with the Taliban, maybe learning from the Taliban.
No, you are simply far from the American mainstream. Can the American mainstream be wrong? Sure. Can you occasionally be right? Sure.
The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
