The amount of bias on this news site is overwhelming, so im going to take this whole article with some skepticism.

Good call. From Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LifeSiteNews:

> LifeSiteNews (or simply LifeSite) is a Canadian Catholic conservative anti-abortion advocacy website and news publication. LifeSiteNews has published misleading information and conspiracy theories, and in 2021, was banned from some social media platforms for spreading COVID-19 misinformation.

Ooooh "misinformation" and "conspiracy theories"... also often (but not always!) known as "spoiler warnings"

edit/addendum: The source of the original talk is the CEO of The Atlantic, so accusations of media bias of the middleman source may be casting stones in a glass house...

Yes, by people with an agenda of spreading misinformation and conspiracy theories.

> The source of the original talk is the CEO of The Atlantic,

Then why isn't an article from The Atlantic shared? And do we instead of the rely on the trustworthiness of some untrustworthy rag?
