Blaze...the Ahmaud Arbery shooting happened IN Georgia :DEAD: Maybe your state is just trying to cover it up and thats why Swamps hasn't seen anything about it either lol

Naw, I hear about it. Just not from the networks.

I do think that county tried to cover shit up, but then the State got involved and made the case happen.

Yeah exactly, basically if it's what most people would consider "justified" it gets buried bc the left wouldn't be up in arms, if it's a pretty black and white unjustified killing then it gets buried bc the right can't defend it as well. If it's a layered case with a lot of factors they can latch onto then that gets reported to the moon bc it gets all dem ratings

I will say I think it’s more the left that cares about which cases will drive the other side crazy. The right I don’t think cares as much about what cases the left considers unjustified because trust and believe the left thinks Kyle Rittenhouse is the devil, too, but I think the left decides to mostly just cover the stories they know the right will be defending so they almost coordinate a dual news cycle on the same stories if makes sense.

And the right ignore the cases they agree with the left on it. I think it’s mostly if they agree the people are shit, they’ll cover a little and then drop it and so will the left.

Where I think the right will then amp up coverage specifically to drive the left nuts is when our side “wins.” Like Kyle will be getting nonstop interviews.

My YouTube is wrestling, video games, nascar, football, baseball, different type of list. I do get news stuff but only because for some reason on my YouTube it wants to have a section for news. :francis when I don’t ever watch

You left out Twerk videos from Trailer Park girls who think they hot.

This is how I started to get a shit ton of infographic videos. I watched ONE video then the next morning I had all these suggested to me :francis and they seemed interesting. So I watched EVEN MORE… and fell down a worm hole for like 8 hours lmao

Yeah I think this is true and it's bc the left controls more stations like you said. Especially bc they're more likely to "compete" with each other in ratings so they need those juicy rage inducing stories. Fox News has no real competition so they're more interested in appeasing the folks watching them than caring about what the left thinks since they know no lefties are watching lol also randomly removed a lot of your post bc the chat wouldn't let me reply:lol

Yeah, that thing is usually right under my suggestions.

And the algorithm needs some work. It does only take 1 video to spam your suggestions for a month.

That is usually the best way to get your news. CNN online is a 1000 times more reliable than their actors posing aas journalists. They're on TV to get the ratings, which CNN is in the toilet.

Yeah both CNN and Fox News online are usually way less unbiased unless it's an obvious click bait story which you can usual tell bc the headline clearly tries to sway you one way or another and those are the ones the anchors are covering on TV too and just use them as bullet points lmao

Yahoo News is a good conglomeration of news from across various other websites, i just worry whem anything tries to start "tailoring news for me" then it'll become an echo chamber

You see where Anna from Young Turks even said Kyle Rittenhouse used Self Defense? Yeah, if the loud mouth of TYT can see it, you would think most sane folks could.

I don't know, they posted a story today trying to show the person who ran through the crowd at the Christmas Parade as a victim....
