      No, they are spinning the news. A headline like that when the report goes into detail how damaging it was is deliberately misleading.

      They are focussing on the fact that larger companies seem more resilient. That’s the one positive in the research. The rest is pretty brutal.

      That’s like reporting a headline “Child escapes school shooting” and then mentioning the fact that five others died in the body of the text.

      They are not “just reporting the news”.

          It’s not misleading at all. The title says it wasn’t good for trade, albeit not as bad as expected.

          I can appreciate that might be confusing for you though, some struggle with parsing information.

              Yes, you are very smart.

                  I never claimed to be. But clearly I can understand the title and I understand that FT is reporting on a study that somebody else did.

                  It seems not everyone can work that out.

                  FT is just reporting the news. It’s unfortunate that the news offends you, but they’re not really obliged to put out news that tickles your schadenfreude.

                      Here’s the thing. You have twice insinuated I don’t understand the news, or how it works. , it demeans us both.

                      I feel insulted and you come across as a smug prick.

                      I was just saying that different papers spin the news differently. There are no papers in the UK that lack bias.

                      There is no such thing as “just reporting the news”. The very selection of what you report onis the news.

                      We could get into an academic debate, if you want. We could wheel out Sontag and Marshall McLuhan. We could go over all the basic first year undergraduate lessons in journalistic practice, or we could just drop this and move on.

                      I suspect you won’t be able to restrain yourself though. You’ll have to point out for a third time that you think some people are incapable of being able to understand things that you, yourself, seem to be the one struggling with.

                          I’m sorry this news upset you. But it is the news. Facts shouldn’t upset you so much. No wonder you seem pretty stupid if reading news articles and studies is an upsetting thing for you.

                              To answer all your points.

                              1.) It didn’t.

                              2.) Didn’t say it wasn’t.

                              3.) They don’t.

                              4.) Fuck you you arrogant prick. You are being willfully ignorant and deliberately misinterpreting what I’m saying. And the insults are really unwarranted. Stop. Please just stop. But also, fuck you again.

                  News and information from Europe 🇪🇺

                  (Current banner: La Mancha, Spain. Feel free to post submissions for banner images.)

                  Rules (2024-08-30)

                  1. This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don’t overly distort the content.
                  2. No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
                  3. Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don’t post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don’t troll nor incite hatred. Don’t look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia’s List of fallacies.
                  4. No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism. We follow German law; don’t question the statehood of Israel.
                  5. Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add “/s” when you’re being sarcastic (and don’t use it to break rule no. 3).
                  6. If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
                  7. Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in other communities.
                  8. Don’t evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
                  9. No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
                  10. Always provide context with posts: Don’t post uncontextualized images or videos, and don’t start discussions without giving some context first.

                  (This list may get expanded as necessary.)

                  Posts that link to the following sources will be removed

                  Unless they’re the only sources, please also avoid The Sun, Daily Mail, any “thinktank” type organization, and non-Lemmy social media (incl. Substack). Don’t link to Twitter directly, instead use xcancel.com. For Reddit, use old:reddit:com

                  (Lists may get expanded as necessary.)

                  Ban lengths, etc.

                  We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.

                  If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 7 or 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don’t show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.
