> “If it were not for Mr. Kiryeyev, most likely Kyiv would have been taken,” the general said. He used his Russian connections to save Kyiv. He wanted to negotiate an early end to the war. Then the SBU summarily executed him claiming he was a Russian spy.

Type: Statutory corporation with a royal charter
A statutory corporation is a government entity created as a statutory body by statute.
It doesn't matter what language you try to couch it in, "state funded", "editorial independence", whatever. It was founded by the state, is funded by the state, and is a government entity. If it quacks like a duck.

mediabiasfactcheck, the site that squashes two complex spectrums (left vs right, unbiased vs biased) into a one dimensional line, making no distinction between centrism and being unbiased.

and reliable reporting as you can get outside the BBC
"Russian state owned media bad. British state owned media good."
I guess you’re just assuming it’s bad based on its name
No, we know it's bad because it's literally run by the US government.

You can't just declare a megathread.
But we have no idea what troops those are. Also they're pointing their guns at nothing, like they're trying to look like they're doing something when they really aren't.

Besides your IDE of choice screaming at you that you are mixing tabs and spaces that is
JetBrains IDEs actually have it built in, it's called "smart tabs".

if you change tab with then your space alignment breaks
No, it doesn't? Here's the exact same text content with different tab widths:
The tabs are smaller but the spaces are the same, so the alignment remains.

what you may assume and words you put in my mouth do not constitute any argument I’ve made
Then please explain what the following means, because it isn't proper grammar and you just called my best attempt at interpreting it "words I put in your mouth".

How about you respond to the part where I respond to what's left of your comment?
in a context where the two are only political bias is being discussed
This part is malformed, I’m not even entirely sure what it’s supposed to say. I’ll assume this:
in a context where the two (left and right) are the only political biases being discussed
So you’re saying that the site just doesn’t consider centrist bias at all but only looks at left and right? Why is that? Centrist bias a form of bias too, isn’t it? Why don’t they consider centrist bias?
