Just depends on reactions. If no one says anything I just go with it. If 5+ people say something I fix it. If 1-5 people say something they're probably outliers.

Yes. Avenues exist. But money is corrupting.

Or OAN, which is more crazy even against Fox

It is possible. I don't know as I haven't checked his output.

What "news" was this, if you don't mind me asking?

Totally agree that US media is a shell of what used to be journalism. Profits control all.

I tried giving you an opportunity, but I'm going to block you now.

I really don't even know what this means.

I wish the best for you.

Your problem is that you want to censor ideas you don't like.

This is a natural result of media controlled by corporate interests. It's also a misunderstanding of "free speech" -- even when you are free to say what you will, it does not mean you are free from the consequences of that speech.

You want to control what other people think by dictating what they get to see and what they're allowed to share with others.

Again, I suggest looking into how propaganda works. Letting everyone speak about anything (without vetting of topic, qualifications, or direction) has consequences. We are seeing those consequences now and will continue to see more as the propaganda machine runs wild on the back of "let everyone speak".

Your view of this is overly simplistic and I am, in the most polite way, attempting to direct you to self improvement. It is a common issue at the moment across all discourse -- probably vestigial of the information sharing capabilities now available.

It's right there in the TOS! /s

I recommend you take strides to learn how propaganda works, most specifically the purpose of shifting opinion (i.e. the Overton Window): "I'm just asking questions" and "I'll let anyone speak" are two of the most effective methods of propaganda. It does not need to be intentional on the part of the interviewer.

"Don't Be Evil"

(I know this hasn't been the Google motto in years -- when it stopped was one of the biggest corporate red flags)

Including his shitty cars! Ba zing!

So many countries are experiencing the same thing right now. It's rich vs poor all around the world.

Could the whole bullshit with Canada and Greenland from the US simply be diversion? All designed to take focus from rich vs poor.

So much winning!

No one wins a trade war. We all get to lose because of one loser (well, plus 70 million other losers).

While Kennedy didn’t vote against Trump’s emergency tariff powers

Shut the fuck up then, Senator. Your vote matters. Your comments don't.

One more dinosaur who thinks people should give a fuck about things other than his actual actions. Pure distraction.

Keep in mind that the voting system itself is rigged. States with lower populations tend to have more representation per capita due to the Electoral College. This biases everything towards red states.

And that doesn't even get at the decades of gerrymandering...

How's that for government efficiency?! Don't even have to vote anymore.

Where will they get new MAGA hats?

I'm sure DJT is legitimately surprised, if he is even aware at all.

fake nazi stuff

Bitch you are literally on camera giving a full on salute -- twice. Fuck right off.

Almost everything you ingest from day to day on your PC, in terms of multimedia content, is compressed.

File compression is a necessity, as it makes transmission of such media over the internet much more teneble. But uncompressed video carries a lot more information -- not necessarily all useful information, but it is there.
