Well, I think I do understand it. The purpose was to present both sides and news outlets did that. Ripping it up allowed for the creation of news outlets like Fox which are ideologically based. If I am wrong, enlighten me. Don't just high horse me.

Maybe news outlets could divvy up months or weeks, even, so those engaging don't burned alive. It is hell in there. Coordination is a good word.

It is an interesting question. Most of the far-right, I think, get their info and daily hate online from Fox and X and TruthBullshit. @rawstory.com just left X and most fact-based reporting outlets have too. That echo chamber needs to be breached but I sure don't have the stomach for it.

No. This started with the killing of the Fairness Doctrine fifty years ago, the purpose of which was to ensure viewers got a balance of viewpoints. It was Reagan who did it, and the Republicans knew exactly what they were doing. The game is always a long one.

I am so so so sorry that this happened to Kady and that this kind of criminal activity is being activated by the hateful practices and privileges of those who call themselves Christian. Fundamentalist religion is, and always has been, the arbiter of hate.

And if three Dems hadn't died on the job, the bill, itself, would have died on the floor. What are Democrats doing to ensure a robust team throughout the rest of 47's term?

Wow. An unbelievable level of greed grounded in the pain and suffering of others. Brutal.

What are the age demographics in those ** stats? Older white men and younger white men may vote totally differently. Wish we could do stats based on social media feed usage. Sigh.

No. It is because they are a market demographic that feels pain and is easily medicated by toxic media.

Canada saw a record rise in young male voters in last election, most of them voting for our Trump-mini-me. It's indifference to truth in media they consume. Joe Rogan style podcasters & others who get extremely wealthy telling underperforming young men their pain is the fault of liberals & women.

Would someone please post this to X and Truth Social?

Well, yeah. Just letting people die would definitely be cheaper than "medication for li-i-ife." And let's hope no scientific breakthroughs are ever legitimated again because who knows who might benefit - strike that - take advantage next!

Wow. So glad our Canadian Prime Minister is dealing with the emergent and pressing issues of the day.

I like that. Coalition of thr Courageous. The root word, "coeur", French for "heart". Perfect.

Of course, actually reading the full text of some books called "sacred" might lead some to even greater acts of violence and genocide than they might have, in their previous ignorance, imagined it to have contained.

Without having read the article, I think it's the same reason I'm still wearing mascara in retirement.

Check his investment portfolio. Unless, of course, I didn’t get the joke, which is entirely possible!

I don't often agree with a pope, but this nails the Christianity I lived and led.

I am so so sorry for all the trauma this will have caused you and your family and all the other kids at the school and their families. Heartbroken that we have made the world in a way that breeds this insanity.

Seriously. I love your heart and your passion. Here, in Canada, we dodged the bullet. I take breaks from this because it makes me insane. I honestly don't know how you are all coping. Apologies for what was perceived as dismissiveness. Simple hoping to ease the pressure on the valve.
