I don't get this 'legacy media' idea. There is media and there is social media. One is a lot more reliable than the other.
No, no one agrees with because you're wrong see below. It's quite easy to understand ask an adult if you need help. "1. To purposely receive a gunshot that was intended for another" "2. By extension, to accept or put oneself in the way of some misfortune, difficulty, blame, or danger as a means of protecting someone else."
One supposedly has a responsibility to report accurately and fairly. Or at least pretend to. Social media isn’t even obliged to pretend.
I sometimes browse the stuff generally being put out by the channels Os shares here. They are down some dark rabbit holes!
I do always find it confusing that people who proudly won’t engage with, or read “legacy media”, somehow seem to think they have an intimate knowledge of what the legacy media are reporting. It’s some talent to know that without ever reading it.
It is the general superior feeling that we (meaning normies) are stupid and they are somehow in the know by reading what some kid in a room has made up. Never mind that 'legacy media' does attempt to fact check things and that they are actually help accountable for fake news. But no, we are stupid for believing stuff and the people who spout **** on social media are the clever ones. we are the sheep and apparently all our media is government controlled. Makes me laugh. However, if it makes small minded people feel better for themselves then so be it.
All that map proves is that America is a very sick and troubled country right now that is willing to allow a serial liar, adjudicated nonce, traitor and convicted felon to have complete control over them. They don't seem to care about the regular massacres of innocent children or the rights of women to have control over their bodies or the future of NATO, Ukraine or the environment. Scary times ahead, I fear for the World.
Yes, clearly Elon Musk’s Twitter is the most accurate. It was the only one that correctly identified with reality.
I think you are the one in the rabbit hole. You had no idea what was going to happen in this election. You are out of touch and living in a world of left wing conspiracy theories
A conspiracy theorist has been defined as a person who believes nothing they see on the news, and everything they see on the net.
My American friend and I were chatting last night. He voted Trump and has fallen out with a female friend after he told her Harris wanted to ban Christmas. I said let’s factcheck that. He was very embarrassed when he realised it came from a deliberately cropped video and had fallen out with his friend over a lie.
Dude, I said before the election "It looks like Trump is going to win". I can go quote myself if you need me to? But predicting election results doesn't mean jack. Why are you trying to flex on this?
Right now the only benefit I can see for the UK is having a Labour government. Trump has made it clear, in the past, that he wants access to the NHS and he has also made it clear that he wants to stop foreign health services from obtaining life saving drugs at reasonable prices. He’s on record as saying that it’s the foreign health services buying drugs at “reasonable” prices that makes them so expensive for American citizens, when the reality is that the big pharmaceutical companies are just greedy. I shudder to think what would happen if the Tories were now in power, with their continued disregard for the NHS, as I think they would seriously consider giving him the access he wants in return for a trade deal. Never forget that when the NHS was at its best Labour were increasing the health budget by around 6% per year. Yes there was wastage but we had a service to be proud of. Also never forget that the Tories increased the health budget by around 2% per year, over 14 years, which is why it is the shambling wreck that it now is. I was watching an American reacting to a video about the NHS and he commented that he paid around $1000 per month for health insurance, current rate of exchange puts that at around £775. I don’t know how many of you, or your children and grandchildren can afford that, but god help any of them with historical ill health in the family, bumping up premiums even more. I expect No7 knows more about the American health insurance costs than most of us, so maybe he can respond with actual figures.
This thread reads a lot better when you use ignore appropriately However, the Democrats really need to sort out their message to blue collar workers an their ilk
It's a really interesting one. There seems to be this sense of "gotcha politics" now that goes along with social media. People have always been tribal about their votes, but now there are people just pumping out messaging about their own party and about the other one which is all about "X said this, look how stupid they are". It exists on both sides, but in my opinion, is stronger the further right you go. This is because underlying all of it is the dogwhistling. People all think they are kind, and good, and not at all racist. But if you can let them think that, while also allowing them to blame foreigners, and trans people, and "the establishment", for everything wrong in their lives, you have a very potent weapon. Hitler and Mussolini had the model set up in the 1930s.
I think it's mad to get that worked up and excited about an election going on in another part of the world...Think it's mad the rallies before hand, hootering and hollering when they are talking, cheering like you would at a football match. Imagine doing that for politicians in this part of the world. You'd be dragged to the nearest asylum! It's so bizarre!!
I think you and loading are the ones that need help. Everything you post is based on left wing propaganda. Can’t you see that you are in an echo chamber? You are both clearly out of touch with reality. As millions of people voted for a guy that you think is pure evil.
