Understood. There are paths I won't go down in a public forum, as well.

But if your basing it on their comments section, with brigading and shadowbanning that goes on, the 'press agency' may not have control of that aspect.

A 'press agency' is at least somewhat more accountable that a 'social media'. They are poison. My preference is for 'news aggregators'. Especially Slashdot, they have self-moderation and you can view at your chosen level of moderation (so you can get just the highlights, or see how stupid people can get. Your choice.)

I went there to get today's Quote of the day in the footer (""For the man who has everything... Penicillin." -- F. Borquin") and found this story

An anonymous reader quotes a report from Engadget:
Alphabet offshoot Jigsaw is launching a Chrome extension designed to help moderate toxic comments on social media. The new open-source tool, dubbed "Tune," builds on the machine learning smarts introduced in Jigsaw's "Perspective" tech to help sites like Facebook and Twitter set the "volume" of abusive comments. Using "filter mix" controls, users can either turn toxic comments off altogether (what's known as "zen mode") or show selective types of posts containing attacks, insults, or profanity. Tune also works with Reddit, YouTube and Disqus. Jigsaw admits that Tune is still an experiment, meaning it may not spot all forms of toxicity or could hide non-offensive comments. "We're constantly working to improve the underlying technology, and users can easily give feedback right in the tool to help us improve our algorithms," C.J. Adams, Jigsaw product manager, wrote in a blog post.
So They are addressing the issue on Facebook and Twitter with a browser extension. Which is interesting because they're rolling that out after Dissenter.

It's also 'ironic' that Hitler liked the British people (see Dunkirk), but Churchhill insisted on Germany's total destruction and the 3-5 million Germans genocided after their defeat.
