I have previous read probably too many books arguing the opposite, but they never mentioned any counter-evidence given, so maybe the case is less clear cut than I currently think. #readbothsides

On the other hand, this seems like a compilation of case stories. Not very scientific. Maybe this one. Seems more balanced in conclusions.pic.twitter.com/0aLqnxPIks

That’s astonishingly antisemitic. How does it matter that they’re Jewish? Why report their religion & not their sex or sexual orientation?
-
There is nothing anti-Jewish in my tweet. You must be reading something I'm not reading.
-
It does certainly sound anti-Jewish in that context, as it (at least in my eyes) implies that the fact that it was written by a Jew will affect your judgment of the content.

Ignoring the sender of the message is ignoring relevant information. There's the possibility of self-serving biases. There's a lot of Jews in the media. In their favor to argue media are not biased, so we expect bias. This is not a criticism of Jews.

If you read newsletters by oil companies, do you ignore the fact that they were published by oil companies? Why/why not? What about [your least favorite political party]?
-
One cannot ignore the sender because one cannot be an expert on absolutely every issue. Expertise is limited, if at least, by the time it takes to study a topic in detail. One must set the prior accordingly.https://twitter.com/KirkegaardEmil/status/932571029993648128 …

Is it in any way relevant that the subjects of the tweet are Jewish?

There is absolutely no case for a Right-wing media bias unless you consider "Right wing" as "to the Right of Lenin."

Well, easy to declare victory without reading the arguments of the other side, right? So far as I can tell, Alterman's book is a series of case stories. Not really something that could convince me one way or the other.
-
Well I have read the other side. I read Noam Chomsky's works a very long time ago.

I read SSC's coverage of it. But it's also a bunch of case stories, not a systematic, quantitative study like those presented in Left Turn.http://slatestarcodex.com/2015/09/11/book-review-manufacturing-consent/ …

In any case, after the 2016 election, I regard the possibility of a "neutral" or "right-wing" media as more preposterous than Young Earth Creationism. Just as I don't bother engaging with Creationists, I won't bother with this nonsense.

Dr. Kirkegaard, what is your opinion of the Nazi philosophy in the historical context of the 1930s?
-
I am no doctor. I haven't studied Nazi philosophy in detail, but what I've seen anyway was rubbish.
