Read the analysis and draw the correct distinctions. (You read the post, right?)

Are the Fox report and the Newspunch report really "the same article"? Clearly, they are not. They deal with the same topic/issue, but their treatment is wildly different.

Despite Fox being flawed corp media, they are at least posting facts here. Newspunch distorts the facts, using emotive language and ideas in their headlines and body to elicit a distorted response. Don't you think there is any difference?

Often, disinfo and clickbait work by merging disinfo with fact. Often info with some legitimacy is used to give the disinfo/clickbait the semblance of validity and credibility. But then, the facts are abused and pushed aside for the purpose of the site: spread disinfo, accomplish clickbait-type reactions.

As my post explains, Newspunch posted a headline that stated "Florida To Begin Sentencing Pedophiles to Death" which is a clear distortion of the facts.

Florida is going pursue being able to apply capital punishment to "the worst of the worst" and "serial offenders" according to DeSantis. Can Florida begin sentencing when that possibility has not even been established?

Newspunch writes: Governor Ron DeSantis has announced plans to introduce the death penalty for anybody convicted of pedophilia in Florida.

False. RS states very clearly in his speech, that he wants to have that option for "the worst of the worst", etc.

See the Fox news article "If you're going to have capital [punishment], you have to administer it to the worst of the worst crimes." In his speech, DeSantis describes what he considers to be such worst of the worst crimes.

Notice also the emotive reaction word "death" as opposed to "capital punishment". Notice the use of "Fact Checked" at the head of the Newspunch article.

The point is about how sites like Newspunch distort the facts and posts misleading content in order to poison the waterhole.

Stating that the Fox News report is "The same article" as the Newspunch article is an egregious distortion of fact itself. The TOPIC of the articles is the same, but the articles themselves are very different, and the character of NewsPunch as a clickbait/disinfo/distortion website is what is under examination in this post here.

What are we supposed to do when a mod himself is willing or unable to apply discernment and distinction and then stickies the mistaken comment?
