So simple. Magas don't see it that way. What do they see with their deplorable perceptions. Maybe it is a disease that JFK Jr will find a cure for. He'll have the next 4 years to find a cure for Magatisim. It's one vaccine to stay away from but let's encourage the Trump supporters to try it.

"If someone says it's raining & another person says it's dry, it's not your job to quote them both. Your job is to look out the fucking window and find out which is true."
Another reason this example sucks is because we saw it, 8 years ago. One of Trump's first lies was about how sunny and beautiful the weather was at the inauguration, but in reality it rained most of the time and there were only short breaks in the drizzle.
I'm kinda new to bluesky. Is it normal for transphobes to just post random hate memes here and there? Are we supposed to just block and move on? Or report it or something?
Blue Sky could well rename itself Blue Pill you know. Its a great place to put yourself in a little bubble and find yourself 540 degrees from reality before too long.
Your choice. Just know those in the Matrix will say anything for company.
I heard something amazing last week. A news outlet played a clip of the Cheeto, the reporter next started with a fact check, then proceeded with his commentary. Stopped me in my tracks,,,why can’t all news be like that. Seems easy🤔
Here’s an idea: How about a new News show with Marc Cuban,Mehdi Hasan and Keith Olbermann as hosts? We need a “mainstream media” NEWS station that is not afraid to report the actual news. A show that rivals FOX shows in terms of viewers and puts FOX off the air? Make it happen!
Exactly because you have described today’s media exactly. And the worst part is they don’t report truth they ridicule it and present alternate realities.
Another example: If someone says an incriminating laptop computer is real and someone else says it is Russian disinformation, find 51 former intelligence experts to determine which is true.
Another example, that don't fuckin' matter at all.
And the general conclussion has most of the time just been, yeah hunter biden is a fucking asshole, and yeah russian missinformation bots and republicans (really the same thing) only boosted it
With your example you are simplifying the problem. There are issues that need to be research to understand what is going on(looking out), but it is hard with all the non-factual garbage that is published daily.
Pretty sure their closest monitoring station is an exit or two down. It very often predicts rain to start 15 minutes after it does. Sometimes it's raining outside of my front window and not outside the back window.
And after you find out who is telling the truth and who is lying, go ahead and report those facts, too! (Bonus points: add some research and analysis about WHY the liar might be lying…)
Perception is reality - people are really busy and don’t have time to follow politics they just follow the likes of a post, like sheep. They think that if there’s so many people who agree then it just must be true. we need to start to create messages and have everybody like it to help sheep follow
If you cannot discern "disinfromation" from "Reality" on You Tube, X, Corporate Media and Facebook that is your problem not the U.S. Govt's. We have this called the First Amendment in America, it is the individual's responsibility to Censor Content not Uncle Sam's.
I must add though, it is certainly NOT their job to knowingly spread misinformation, which they did.
But it remains that their active censorship of true information was by far worse than their active lying...yet people want them to filter info for them and still trust them to do so... FFFS
The lab leak theory of Covid was censored.
Provocation of Russia claims were censored.
Facts about mRNA treatments were censored.
Facts about Israel's genocide in Gaza were censored.
Hunter Biden's laptop was censored.
Bio lab in Ukraine info was censored.
Journalism should be about presenting facts, not both sides, especially when you know one of those sides is dead wrong but you present it anyway it avoid the appearance of bias.
I tend to agree. However, I also remember when we wanted most news to be unbiased. But that was before Republicans began lying about almost everything.
And, let's be clear. Trump supporters are not watching real news anyway.
When it comes to politics, I also want journalists to be doing a lot more "fact checking". The problem is that Trump and the Republicans lie so often and so fast, no one can keep up.
I rarely watch msm these days because of the bias towards the wealthy elite. Even if they are fact checking, they get to chose what they check and what they dont
I just don't think "it's raining" is the best example for this. You wouldn't think that would be subjective or individual but... weather can be extremely local and transient. Person A walks out on the west side of the building where it IS raining, B looks out east where it isn't... or it stopped
Reminds me of how people paint far left and far right as equal extremes. One wants to give you free healthcare and education, the other wants you dead 🤦
The felon will be spewing filth and lies..I left x for yje same reason..I can ignore random nuts but this dude is supposed to be leading our great country not spewing filth and lies and inciting violence on social media
Damn! Why doesn't that message get transmitted to our MSM, who keep downplaying Trump's lies, misinformation and disinformation while touting whataboutisms from the opposite side of the aisle?
Part of why TRump is going back to the White House is the failure of our journalists to report like this. If he is lying, just say he is lying and refuse to give him any more coverage. Both sides cannot be right and journalists need to point that out.
Journalist covered a lot of shit, it ain't their fault by a lot.
The fault's on americans being fuckin' idiots, and demorats being fuckin' incompetent idiots. And you can't convince that a country were mormons and JWS exist, or anti-vax people is anything but stupid.
Mate, if you entered the AP any time last year, a lot of the reports were on very bad shit Trump did, from rape to the 34 fellonies, to his bigotry, even the NYT and other of those far worse newspapers covered DJT's bs, the WP being a part of those who didn't.
That only makes my point even more, you have to have fucking brain damage or some shit to be a fox consumer, Fox News literally had a headline titled ''Why are LGBTQ+ damaging our country'' and another one titled ''Why american soldiers lifes are worth more than arab civilians'' by Ben nazi shapiro
I love this! Just this apparently needs to be a journalism class. No other content…just this slide repeated for 60 minutes 3 times a week for a whole semester. No curve.
The fact that you can't tell, is exactly the point. Those are the types of things MAGA say all the time. Like here's a snowball so global warming doesn't exists.
I agree, although Cheetolini is in a lying league all his own. For him, if his lips are moving he's lying so the media should be especially vigilant calling his lies out & not use the sanitized language they use to describe his lies, i.e. misspoke, falsehood, untruth
Dear heavens, if only many in the MSM would do this instead of blindly parroting the latest trump, Republican or Faux Noos talking points like they were gospel truth. That is not journalism!
I have an Irish weather station in front of my kitchen window, it’s a stone that been hung up by a piece of string. If it is dry that means it is not raining, if it is wet then it’s rained or is raining. No need to even go outside.

My weather in Los Angeles isn't the same as the weather in Atlanta or New York City. So who is right & who is wrong?
Trust but mtf VERIFY for yourself. Ppl are fucking lazy
It is that simple.
"If someone says it's raining & another person says it's dry, it's not your job to quote them both. Your job is to look out the fucking window and find out which is true."
Now what
Filters are copium.
Blue Sky could well rename itself Blue Pill you know. Its a great place to put yourself in a little bubble and find yourself 540 degrees from reality before too long.
Your choice. Just know those in the Matrix will say anything for company.

Devastating to watch it just go to hell since 🍊45 showed up.
"VERIFY THE TRUTH"
And what else that someone is lying about.
And who else is “colluding” in a coverup.
Before long, a Pulitzer Prize!
Cover ups are almost always more interesting than the original crime.
And the general conclussion has most of the time just been, yeah hunter biden is a fucking asshole, and yeah russian missinformation bots and republicans (really the same thing) only boosted it

Just the facts, ma'am.
And, let's be clear. Trump supporters are not watching real news anyway.
Not just unbiased. Usually both sides are spinning things in a way that favors them. We want the news to tells us the facts, and just the facts.
As the proverb says "the truth is a 3 edged sword. Your side, my side, and the truth"
The fault's on americans being fuckin' idiots, and demorats being fuckin' incompetent idiots. And you can't convince that a country were mormons and JWS exist, or anti-vax people is anything but stupid.
Journalists take an oath but sadly are muzzled by billionaires lack morals and ethics.

The MSM is NOT there to decide for you and me DAMN IT!
If you can't make your own EFFing decision, TURN OFF THE EFFING NEWS AND GO PLANT A GARDEN!
I can decide myself. I can also spot when BOTH sides are vapid liars. If you can't, TUNE OUT!
The supreme Court is a piece of shit. It's time people....
