@71247a99  I don’t think it matters what they call themselves - Self-assigned names might be useful for clarity, but they don’t necessarily reflect the truth

I agree it doesnt matter too much, other than to reflect on their on mentality maybe. The point isnt that it matters, the point is that it is a fact that they call themselves something. If I say “I am a purple unicorn” then it is a fact that I think that I am a purple unicorn (it is also a fact that I am not a purple unicorn). So that matters.

What the journalist things they are is opinion.. If the journalist things they are far-right then that is the journalists opinion (just like before it is a fact that the journalist has that opinion, but still their opinion). Ergo the journalists opinion, even though it agrees with my own, has no place.

I mean whats the problem.. im not saying this person cant post this stuff.. All I am saying is call it what it is, an place where people post their opinions about the news, and it isnt the news itself.. nothing wrong with being an opinion based editorial, just dont lie and call it news.  We are allowed to label groups despite their own preferences. “Far-right” is accurate, and succinct. It is a useful shorthand for all the views and policies that you would have the author explicitly list (probably to the detriment of the writing quality).

Of course you are able to label them as far right, just dont lie about it and call it news when your doing an opinion piece, thats all. If this were labeled clearly as an opinion piece I’d have no complaints.
