Shills about for GN are employing all sorts of nonsense today, but seeing the following motte and bailey that needs to be addressed.

For those that dont know, and simply put, a motte and bailey argument is when you need to conflate a sound argument as being the same as an unsound one to make your case.

Motte (sound argument) : "the steal is real and GN said so. So they back trump on the election!"

Bailey (unsound argument): "George.News has secret access to trump and is a trusted news source".

Be advised as well from a marketing perspective:

  1. GN is effectively known in the ad business as a news aggregator. They dont really produce jack for their links, and with the vids they had from the military getting ided at source, they have no contribution save showing you what others said. Compare this with say lotus eaters and youll see why i quibble with the term news for GN.
  2. GN has no privacy link. It piggy backs off finity, which follows Swiss law (not European, so gdpr dont matter. Well thats what they think but they dont understand the law as it is).
  3. the parent company to paper.li (finity) is has a wide shillstream media clientele including forbes.
