I've noticed something on this board - Every one proclaims themselves as 'truth warriors', yet avidly defend obvious mistakes, fake news, clickbait as "well, it's ok to lie when our side does it!".
It's sad, because I think it's indicating how easy it is to fool this site as long as it confirms bias... not good.
Most people flick through on their phone and read some headlines and that’s what they know about things. If something comes up, they Google it. Google decided Iver doesn’t work, and the headlines from CNN and otherwise say it doesn’t work, so to them it doesn’t work.
Probably helps plenty of people and doesn’t help plenty of others, but there’s a giant echo chamber that most people live in that prevents them from having any but professionally assigned opinions.
They get their talking points from the 4AM memo that all the media gets every single morning. Repeating the same odd words or phrases across all media on the same day shows that they get their marching orders from one and only one source.
And we know it's about 4AM as the stuff starts showing up in their feeds soon afterwards.
And exactly when was that? I'm pretty old too and the media has been in the business of lying since I've been here.
Remember reporting on Tet offensive?
Remember reporting on the Tonkin Gulf incident?
Did the news ever tell us how US companies were funding Hitler war?
Did media hide facts about JFK assignation?
Sure, media lies, distortions, and cover ups have gone to new level in internet age, but media always lied pretty much.
That used to be the narrative. I don't think much has changed, other than people no longer believe the narrative.
The fundamental change happened when they shot Kennedy.
Next fundamental change came when Reagan was shot...
Nah, even kronkite had spin...
Was it really Kennedy that got shot on that day? 🧐
Patriot Act + Smith-Mundt
I remember cnn faking being in iraq during the gulf war.
When Obama legalized propaganda use on Americans.
They pushed and shilled for the Iraq war non stop. WMD and on and on.
Yeah, like, whose tweet is this, Chris Dotson, the actor from NCIS? Answer: nope, just a guy whose name happens to be Chris Dotson. Ahem.
In the words of Walter Sobchak, ". . . fucking amateurs!"
Not really the point. Nobody here watches TV anyway.
man this is a weak ass reply, considering the sassy title of the thread and all the comments directed at Chris Dotson the actor

As someone who cares not for actors, I care not.
