I already decided to delete my other comments about this when somebody decided to think that I asked that because of some weird reason I won’t repeat after I even predicted it.
You were spamming comments claiming the source is not reputable and propaganda because you don’t like other articles you saw on the website. Those claims are patently false. Now you’re just straight up lying about your previous comments while still repeating the lie that this is not a reputable source, so allow me to repeat myself: There is nothing wrong with The Texas Observer.
Overall, we rate the Texas Observer Left Biased based on story selection and political positions that mostly favor the left. We also rate them High for factual reporting due to proper sourcing and a clean fact-check record.
First you claimed it was a “tabloid,” then you said it was “propaganda.” You’ve ignored people pointing out it’s a reputable site and asking you to explain why you think it’s propaganda. Please explain, exactly, why you think this site is not reputable and is “propaganda.”
As others have pointed out to you repeatedly, the Texas Observer is a perfectly fine news source that has passed fact checking flawlessly for at least the last 5 years.
As many others have pointed out, you’re arguing in bad faith.
Everyone knows damn well that a local story in a local newspaper will not have another source until maybe a national source picks it up, and guess what, those national sources will look at the fact that the Texas Observer is a fully trustworthy source who did the legwork on this story, and they will link back to it.
It’s a 100% true, horrific story.
Or do you not believe that cops would do this sort of thing repeatedly in several states. Here’s a selection of past stories on teens, and young teens at that, put in solitary for way longer than should ever be allowed. Watch out for the 13-year-old who committed suicide because of it, that one is a rough read.
The author is on Mastodon, and I just sent her a message about this Lemmy post. So, I suppose we’ll see.
I personally think you are wrong since the original source is reputable. BUT I too find it a bit odd no one else seems to have picked up on this sensational piece.
If nothing else, perhaps we can use your doubt to raise awareness of this story.
Well kbin doesn’t federate downvotes, but having a peek at the Lemmy side was pretty satisfying. What a fucking disingenuous tantrum throughout this thread and repeated failure to acknowledge that this source you have impunged is rated quite highly by independent fact checkers.
Will you continue to delete and edit your comments, or stand by your words? I dunno, you’re getting blocked now, which I recommend to everyone else also do.
Yeah it’s definitely sus. I went looking for some other stories that were regional news where I live and found other regional news papers also picking things up. It is a bit odd nobody else had run this story; it’s possibly an exclusive others are still trying to catch up on.

Funny how they’ve spent hours replying and arguing with everyone else in this thread but will not answer this extremely simple question.
The Texas Observer is a reputable site. It’s one of the last surviving paper in Texas with actual investigative journalists.
Why is this not being covered by npr, bbc, ap, and Reuters?
This is horrific.
As others have pointed out to you repeatedly, the Texas Observer is a perfectly fine news source that has passed fact checking flawlessly for at least the last 5 years.
So stop spamming.
Please. Another source.
No more arguments about why you think this is a good source.
Another source.
Please. That’s the answer.
It should be easy. This is a horrific story. It should be easy to find other sources.

Cops are fucking bastards. They love to power trip, and they love to put people in solitary.
None of those are this story.
Didn’t read a single word I wrote, did you?
😭pLEasE! anOThER SOuRce!! 😭
What is wrong with you?
