A quick look at the TV News or google news at least gives me basic info on what's going on, though not too much in depth. A lot of folks don't even get that anymore. The first 15 minutes of national network news is good, at least on CBS. For the rest, it's mostly entertainment. But if you boycott it, chances are you may not even know what's going on, and can therefore be deceived by fake news on the internet.Eric needs a refresh. Rags can't MSM in any event because he lives 90 miles from TeeVee stations. Besides, the MSM has discredited itself as such.
Yeah, I know what yer thinking, but this is real. They just can't accept their losses, too bad snow flakes.
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!
Oh, and fuck off MSM.
Quote:How many people were deceived to believe that the Syrian Civil War was caused by United States intervention and support for terrorists? How many forgot that it was a rising for freedom by the people crushed by their dictator and their Russian and Iranian allies?
Oh that. Assad is no threat to the USA , so that was a war of choice. Check the Powell doctrine sometime. I follow that.
Quote:Lots of folks did, including you Rags. The result of USA inaction in Syria is one of the worst genocidal exterminations of our time.
Actually, I'm aware , but here's the truth. I don't give a rat's ass. Hopefully that clarifies things for you.
Quote:Neither blogs nor MSM are to be believed without taking huge grains of salt, and much thought. Blogs have no dedication at all to the truth; only the interests and prejudices of the blog owner. They can be interesting, but not to be believed without confirmation. The internet can be used for that.
Oh, but all of that handwringing on the Lamestream Media has done, has discredited them. They're sore losers.
Here's another one.
So, all of these people can just fuck off. Tolerant Liberals, my ass. Ha!
Quote:PBS is not government run. Most government funding has been cut since Reagan. But they do have some corporate donors. The News hour tries to accommodate and not offend the powers-that-be, because of their power of propaganda that arouses the right wing population to complain.
So from the pan into the fire, eh? "accomodate and not offend the powers-that-be".....
Quote:So again, I watch it, but I get upset when they buckle under. Democracy Now can be a good alternative, when it's not boring. Non-profit organizations can supply some good news, although their resources are limited.
Random stuff on teh interwebs works for Rags, but again. NO MSM BECAUSE RAGS HAS TO WASTE $73/month to get that stuff. It ain't worth it. Rags is a working poor d00d. Rags can't afford to flush $73/month down the potty.
Quote:I think many people, and "populists" both left and right, are terribly misinformed and deceived by lies and fake news; and that's why we got Donald Trump and GOP control. I'm glad facebook is making some effort to control fake news. As a major purveyor (transmitter, not originator) of it, it is their responsibility to do this. I don't care what they do with my data; at least not so far. But with Trump in office, I might later. He is a potential dictator, while I do not consider Obama or potentially Hillary to have been such, despite some inappropriate stuff they did.
There were no good choices, so at present, here's another secret, yes, it's a ssssssssssssssseeeecret, I'm gonna share, right here, right here on this forum.. Rags is in honey badger mode. Badd ass Rags, don't give a shit.
And oh, did I ever say, special snowflakes suck. Yes, special snowflakes suck big time. I don't like them. I don't like them all. All their dreams went to hell, oh well.
So there you have it. They showed their true stripes, yes they did. Fuck'em, man. Doomsday plan? Yeah, right,
get real.

Jesus Christ, Rags, you are sounding and acting like a god-damned Far-Right Trump-fucker, right down to spamming far-right YouTube videos. What the fuck is wrong with you?
