I trust the weather somewhat, any 'newscast' is heavily biased to pull clicks, nothing else.
here is proof: when Brittney Spears shaved her head, suddenly the war in the middle east was not an issue or important at all in any way.
best thing to watch is the business section and read financial stuff.
the reality Mark is this: it's about the fucking dirty money.
anything else you hear or read is just complete bullshit made mostly made up completely or interpreted in a way that draws clicks and they won't get sued. and you are NOT thinking about the money.... classic misdirection... I had read once that media presentations, the news, biased movies and TV, commercial... hummm.. oh yeah EVERYTHING that is presented to YOU, is set to an 8th-grade intellect. you and Richard have a great time with that okay?
"This is actually pretty easy to research. Google “readability” and “reading level in media.” Most material for popular consumption is about at a sixth-grade reading level. (When I first typed that, I left the “x” out of “sixth.” Have I uncovered a sinister plot to dumb down America?). Anything above eighth grade would be challenging for a lot of readers. There are lots of tools to measure reading level.
I ran the above through a readability tool and got a grade level of 8.5. But the tool also erroneously flagged “be challenging” as a use of the passive." google yourself, this is from Quara
or like the dumb fucks here: if we say it true, the facts don't really concern us. the media piles it on and on and on and on... "
you ever see this quote, some relatively unimportant German about 60 years ago.
“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.
The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie.
It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”
the stories I had read in the past all started with something like "suppose trump did....or if this is true" then 4 or 5 paragraphs of all the bad shit that was coming down the pipe IF... then drag out some piece of shit drunk actor that abuses his kids as a reputable source to confirm the party line...
really, Mark, that's your info source? you trust that stuff? seems a bit childish to me honestly at best and probably just foolish.
you lack critical thinking
