    Electrek has gone completely biased with Tesla. They have done so bad, that even if this is true, I'd take it with a fistful of salt.

      The entire post is that Tesla setup $30B in loans that it could potentially use. What salt should I be taking?

        Did you read the post? It's all framed as "worrying". It's a very biased, thoughtless piece.

        Read their prior Tesla posts. They are all negative.

          Ok. Are they lying?

            As the headline is the only thing presented here. And the headline not being representative of the truth. I would argue that classifying this as lying is acceptable to the same degree as the headline is. You (the general you) can’t have it both ways

            The whole truth and nothing but the truth...

            Being biased isn't lying, withholding truth isn't lying (maybe). What is your point? You can be biased and not lie.

              It's a pernicious kind of bias. Just like your statement. It's not possible to be biased and not lie. And hiding truth is a form of lie.

            Yes. But not in a direct way. The title is a lie, then the article body softens the lie to prevent litigation.
