I can say the same to be honest given that saying bad news is apparently not strong enough. I don’t think it’s ‘downplaying’ to say they are bad, which is what I meant. If saying they are bad is my bias, then I don’t actually think it’s my bias on show.
But that’s par the course. There are, frankly, biased opinions about genocide and such. Yet that gets ignored, but trying to tone it down and counter this with similar examples shows my bias. If only I was so reasoned as the ‘reasonable’ and drone on about how Israel is something akin to the Nazis.
