POLITICS: what have you done for us lately?

[Chankgeez]

No, it's the one where they steal his brain because they need it to be the new "Controller" and Kirk and McCoy have to get it back.

He has no place to be criticizing a free press for calling him out on his constant stream of bullshit.

>20 minutes of commercials per hour
>monopolizing airwaves with fake news
>framing discussions with fallacious narratives
>crying about a constant stream of bullshit and demanding credibility

Slippery slope nothing, piled bullshit makes a poor hill to die on.

I'd rather drink out of a poisoned well than Alex Jones' piss. At least it's still water.

Facebook.

Nothing says support the reich like top 10 lists and videos about food.

[repoman]

is the pissgate thing still in news?

did CNN report on it and now they're saying they didn't or some shit?

Theres literally zero sources of news from large media corps that aren't entirely propaganda. I can't even listen to NPR now. They'll have a hot button issue, have the 'right leaning' talking head on for about 5 minutes and then he goes away which is followed up by about 3 left leaning talking heads that just tear him to bits for the next 20 minutes all the while the host goofily feigns impartiality.

Better off listening to some nutjob on youtube rant about how the moon is a hologram.



See?

need a better caption for this so I can frame it.

[morange]

Found this kind of interesting.

[snipelfritz]

^Exactly, and I won't stand for those who decide to be complicit in this very deliberate and very real tactic.

Good example of journalism. However, not US based/focused. I doubt the BBC has sources/affiliates on the internal day-to-day in each state capital.

If you BOUGHT MUH FILTERS you could prob drink the pee and not die
Saying you'd prefer knowingly drinking from a poisoned well is some good spite, but consider how absurd it is, the 2016 Alex Jones has higher credibility than every mainstream media news network.
Peak Bizarro universe/mandella effect; cant believe this shit
Broken clock something something right twice a day.

Journalism essentially died with web 1.0.
I agree BBC is probably the last of the somewhat professional fact-oriented news outlets but the BBC as content creators (and curators) has been infected by the superficial diversity/reductionist identity politics/intersectional bullshit virus.

Once credible news sources have now become Weekly World News tier scandal rags.
Investigative reporting is now confirmation bias on the level of bad tv cop drama detective[s] who only value evidence which supports [their] hunch.
There is no single best source for information. I recommend searching for as many perspectives as possible on any given topic, using incognito mode & multiple search engines because even search results are tailored per user, via algorithms which [attempt to] predict what will align with *your* ideology, and how to most effectively influence you. Once you have a diversity of information, picking out the facts and contrasting how they are spun becomes quite illuminating. Then you can get a better idea of what happened rather than putting your faith in a complete stranger or shady entity trying to make money by any means. The problem is it's tedious and most people don't have the time or patience for that. So soundbites and Poe's law are here to stay...for a while anyway...

I should also frame my arguments under the understanding that journalism has always had innate bias (look up yellow journalism) and media literacy/education is necessary for a functioning democratic society.

From my perspective, "real journalism" has not gone downhill, utter shit has just been elevated. A rising tide sinks all ships, while I'm in the business of mixing metaphors.
