The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

"Trump was recently asked why he had not ordered US Special Forces to seize Iran's enriched uranium, to which he replied, "I didn't feel like being Jimmy Carter."

The remark referenced the failed 1980 US mission to rescue American hostages in Iran, which resulted in the deaths of eight US service members. Earlier this year, Trump also said the failed operation "cost them the election" in Carter's unsuccessful 1980 reelection campaign."

Explains why he hasn't put boots on Kharg Island ground?

Analysis / Bias

MEAWW primarily covers entertainment-related news such as this ‘Doom Patrol’ Season 3 Episode 4 Review: A story of love, lies, and secrets. Entertainment news does not include political opinions but reflects the author’s opinion when performing reviews of TV, Movies, Music, etc.

Coverage of news also does not feature opinionated statements from the authors. However, news stories feature emotional headlines that attempt to entice clicks, such as this Brian Laundrie’s dad slammed for getting Dunkin Donuts goodies amid manhunt for son.

When reporting political news, they often choose stories negative toward the Biden administration, such as this Is Jill Biden’ co-president’? FLOTUS cuts in during Joe Biden interview to call migrant children camps’ humane’. Further, reporting on the former Trump administration often demonstrates a favorable tone such as this Presidential debate 2020: Ivanka Trump slams Joe Biden for being typical politician with ‘all talk, no action.

MEAWW is mixed in sourcing information; for example, some articles do not feature hyperlinked sourcing, while others correctly source from credible media outlets. In general, they hold a right-leaning bias with story selection and have published false information.

Failed Fact Checks

McDonald’s and Coke announced that no whites will be hired to top positions. – False (Corrected)
‘Diana lost her royal protection and would be alive today if she had retained it’ – Misleading (Corrected)

Overall, we rate MEAWW Right-Center biased based on story selection that moderately favors the right. We also rate them as Mostly Factual in reporting due to occasional poor sourcing techniques. (D. Van Zandt 9/30/2021) Updated (02/14/2025)
