  So that's how the "reporters" find the time to come and "defend" their hallucinated takes on what really happened. Perhaps if they used this free time to actually read documents rather than try to shoot down anyone pointing out how much they failed & just wanted to be on Faux News....

• On the post: Nobody Seems To Have An Answer For Propaganda Posing As Local News

  

  That Anonymous Coward ( profile ), 03 Nov, 2022 @ 03:03pm

  If only critical thinking & civics were still taught. People who believe the "news" coming out of these "media outlets" are sure they are better informed than anyone else & anything trying to tell them different is lying. A bunch of rich people are spending their money to tell you fairytales... you think they are doing it out of the goodness of their hearts? Do you also think people run for Congress to help society and not to gain power and cash? And they tell you things to keep you on their side & ignoring reality that your life is getting worse because of those you support not the other side.

  Programs get your programs, can't tell the good guys from the bad guys without a program... Of course the problem is the system, in its zeal to get the bad guys, allows the "good guys" to behave worse than the good guys because the ends justifies the means even when those means violate everything they claim to uphold. I mean this is the nation where a military base had hazardous water from leaking tanks for over 30 years, and it took another 40 years for them to offer compensation to those they poisoned. The system is broken when protecting those who have done wrong matters more than doing what is right. Whistleblowers are routinely punished for the 'crime' of pointing out that a cog is violating the law or their duty to the nation... pretty damning to think that the image matters more than what is right. Imagine what might happen if people were held accountable when they didn't play by the rules on both sides. Its time to stop giving them a sticky gold star for "winning" and making sure they won without cheating.

  Picked up from Newsy, it might help the slow reading group understand 230. They were talking about political ads & how an OTA channel can't be held liable for the content of a political ad, that they are required to carry. That the law protects them because they didn't make the ad, they just gave it the airtime.

  But its much easier to blame the boogeymen rather than suggest perhaps being a parent is a better play. The problem is their job isn't telling people the news anymore, its getting high enough ratings so they can charge more for advertising slots. I mean I get they need to pay for a newsroom, but feeding a constant stream of ripped from FB fear stories is making society worse but ad revenues are up!!
