^^A lot of people aren't hearing anything about this. Most of the country stopped consuming MSM long ago and we thought it was funny but now we are seeing the price of not having a presence of credible journalists in this country. Now that we have actual wolves, no one believes the cries for wolves.
We need more regulations. There should be a set of standards required before you can call yourself news.
-No entertainment or comedy -No personality shows or anchor-commentary -Political fairness doctrine -Minimum number of daily stories -Dedicated % of stories that do not involve the US -Dedicated third party to handle ad deals in blind
I could go on and on. 11/15/2020 1:11:59 PM

OK, so there are no legitimate journalists in the US? There are certainly problematic conflicts of interest.
Yeah, it's pretty hilarious when people willfully ignore factual information from career scientists.

Its akin to ACAB. I know there are many well-intended and honest journalists out there but as long as they work for outlets sham outlets, those journalists are ineffective. The ones who work for honest outlets, have their entire outlets supressed by search engines and are only being heard through places like twitter. The real journalists have no bigger platform than the average conspiracy theorist on youtube. 11/15/2020 3:02:53 PM

Please point us to some of these good journalists who only operate on Twitter.

I can't point to them thats the point. They are hypothetical just like good cops.

So do you ever post anything that isn't a troll post?
Just curious whether you do this for kicks to get a rise out of people, or whether you actually believe the stuff you post. 11/15/2020 7:10:05 PM

What is a troll post to you because it seems like you're defining it as anything that challenges your perception which, of course, would mean you'll also think this is a troll post.

^^I define it as taking increasingly fringe stances that you don't actually agree with and arguing about them for the purposes entertainment on the internet. You don't seem to have any coherent philosophy on anything. You're just constantly disagreeable for no reason. 11/15/2020 9:43:15 PM

Just because you think there are good cops doesn't mean ACAB is a lie, even if you are correct and ACAB is incorrect. A lie is when you know something is false and still say it. Intent. Ad-hominem attacks against people with a different perspective from yours doesn't do the truth any justice.

this is a cabbage lie. Where have we discussed philosophy? You come to a conclusion that me being outside of this site's overton window makes me inconsistent. You come to a conclusion that because I disagree with people on here that I am disagreeable. Yet I come on here specifically to escape the echo chamber I live in. The logic you are using is narrow and you probably just read people saying I support trump and internalized me supporting trump then wondered why it makes no sense.
