If you have a different source I can dismiss it instantly, thems the rules

I’m just in a shit mood and about to lose my cool. Gotta take a step back

that’s kinda how it’s always been though lol. Only this time those people are winning

 

[Chris]

If they aren't dumb then they are gleefully cruel and that's much worse. I think a lot are just dumber than we thought, especially when it comes to that childlike need to win and be right

not really, for good or bad, people trusted mainstream news until the last 30 or so years, maybe around Vietnam. That provided everyone with a shared reality to debate points about, now we live in individual realities where we don't have to debate, we can just dismiss. Obviously the reason it changed is because the news was lying so it's a messy situation to begin with

 

[O-Blaze]

I will say, thankfully a few of the people who shocked me with supporting Trump, finally is seeing the light of how bad he is.

 

[Chris]

Actually at that time it was more the government that was lying than the news, but like now people chose to side with the government and believed everything on Vietnam was all hunky dory and we were gonna win

 

[O-Blaze]

Gotta be skeptical about both the news and the government these days if you ask me. Sad reality we live in.

 

[Chris]

You should always be skeptical about it all but outright dismissing usually results on worse things, that's the media literacy people talk about

 

[Chris]

Fox News is still a news source of value nowadays, you just don't take it as 100% fact, but how they report on a story essentially tells you what the conservative side of it is and know why they think something or how they're trying to justify it is not useless info to have

 

[Chris]

TV news I would say just disregard entirely for everyone though, if it's in print then it's useful even if it's very biased though

 

[Chris]

You see this at a much smaller scope with dirt sheets too and now this WWE unreal show is just proving that all those reports everyone said were made up or fake that SRS reported, he was actually right lol you just have to try and find what people's biases are and then you filter what they report through that lens. Much easier to say it's all bad tho

 

[O-Blaze]

Oh yeah dont dismiss it definitely. I normally try to read a few different sources just to get a better grasp of the story

 

[Chris]

And also most of these journalist aren't gonna straight up lie lol they are scared of getting caught for one. If they report something and it's false 9 times out of 10 it's a bad source. And even from that you can still dig into "well why did this person say this, was it an intentional wrong leak or were they told something different" like it really shouldn't be this hard but we have to simplify everything to good or bad, yes or no

 

[Chris]

As for the Epstein shit, we now have a Democrat and a Republican regime walking back their claims of releasing them or downplaying what's in them so that's a pretty big red flag. The rich didn't think it would be this hard to get the republican base to back down once Trump got elected I assume, probs thought the average Democrat wouldn't pick it up since Biden already said there wasn't anything in them last year too
