Not because, no. I think it’s greed.
This is like the “there are some responsible assault rifle owners” argument. Although corporations are not required by law to maximize investor returns, CEO “compensation” is often tied to “performance” so the incentives of those with the most decision power make it de facto required to maximize returns to investors. That’s why Musk needed to convince his board of directors (who are there to represent the best interests of the share holders) to approve some ridiculous pay package. His “performance” in their eyes is proportional to share holder profits so if they’re happy, he gets his absurd pay package, which is why his incentive is to maximize profits for shareholders by any means necessary.
Don’t you do some background checks on the sources you read & quote? Or do you tend to follow the herd? Here’s some info from Wikipedia on the founder & president of NGO Monitor, Gerald Steinberg:
Yehudit Karp, a former Israeli deputy attorney general, charged that Steinberg published material he knew to be wrong “along with some manipulative interpretation”.[21]
Reporter Uriel Heilman said that Steinberg played “fast and loose” with the facts by repeating comments about the New Israel Fund that Steinberg knew were untrue. In response, Steinberg acknowledged that some of his reports were poorly phrased and promised to correct them.[22]
In The Jerusalem Post, Kenneth Roth wrote that Steinberg shows a “disregard for basic facts” when writing about human rights.
Imagine how hateful and depraved you would have to be to pay tons of money to Google Ads to promote your page and agenda to deceptively block people from donating money to those in need. That’s NGO Monitor and that’s what you’re supporting.
Edit: I’m sure you’re also very interested to find out the facts behind Israel’s accusations of UNRWA workers so here’s the latest:
Yes and check the page of the founder & president of NGO Monitor, Gerald Steinberg:

Critical thinking is not your forté my man.
Wow good find. The revolving door in action.
Crazy that the proposed solution to propaganda is banning media instead of investing in education that promotes critical thinking. Or maybe the idea here is “no propaganda except mine”.
Just as the Tories (and investors) intended.
Their custom DNS is very ant-crypto. Janet Yellen is the personal resolver.
Why are they all trying to get labor for free then? They love free!
Bernie Sanders has been saying for 30 years that the bill is too damn long! Representatives get very limited time to read bills so they usually don’t and just vote along party lines. This is a form of deception and it’s intentional.
Republican governors from six states have issued a statement warning residents against unionization
Ah yes, the “get the government out of your life” guys are once again getting directly into your life, from their seat in… the government.
Wait according to Israeli accusations, how did Iran break international law? By using missles despite UN resolution 2231?
Last I checked (and IANAL) attacking military targets in reponse to military aggression is not in violation of international law.
Yes, that’s true. At the same time though, the above points can be made about articles reporting some outrageous or stupid thing Trump said, but is it really necessary to publish such a piece or would resources be better spent elsewhere? I guess it depends on the goal of the outlet- progress, propaganda, or profit.
Why does the article mention his stupid opinion and then refute it with statistics?
At the turn of the millennium, the median house sold in the U.S. went for $165,300, per the St Louis Fed.
By the end of 2023 that median had increased more than 150% to over $417,000—excluding a peak at the end of 2022 when it sat at near $480,000.
The National Association of Realtors has highlighted income hasn’t kept pace—for more than half of 2023, the median family income didn’t meet the qualifying income to be able to purchase an existing home with a 20% deposit.
For those who may want to move out of their mother’s basement, rent has also more than doubled in the past 20 years while the median household income has increased just 10%, per the St Louis Fed.
Just leave that ghoul in the dustbin and quit feeding him.

Thanks. What is the built-in NLP for Lineage OS? Maybe I’m not using the right keywords but I couldn’t find out via search.
Shiiiiiit. I’ve never heard of NLP. How can I check which one my phone uses?
Do you think this one is privacy respecting?

I wonder how it would read if they quoted the Russian military in the headline on the right.
