posted by ptown_trojans_1Not fake, I went back and read the original NYT story. The intel at the time said they had medium confidence on it. Now, they are saying it was low confidence it happened. I think that warrents a what the fuck happened in the intel verification process by the House and Senate Intel committees because either way it is a fuck up by the intelligence community.
Actually, it was a fuck up in "journalism".
Big news just pushes narratives. And have we ever seen such a coordinated narrative between various news medias than what we seen during the Trump years? Have we ever seen such a vast amount of unnamed sources as we saw during the Trump years? The amount of times news medias have been caught stealth-editing is jaw-dropping and they have almost always been unapologetic after being caught out; they won't even address it.
Neolibs and progressives fill in just about every corner of the media market. "But FOX news and Breitbart!" has never been a valid argument, no matter how hard contrarians were pumping it. As far as the fake news claim goes, it is absolutely fake when looked scrutinized with knowledge of who is president at any given time.
Let's compare!
Trump news: "Muh Russian bounties!"
Biden news: "Major and Champ in the Whitehouse!"

We need to suspend all immigration for 2 weeks to flatten the curve.
Biden on guns, almost 50% inaccuracies, and his orders do almost nothing to curb violence. Also said no Amendments are absolute (imagine the outrage if Trump said that). And now wants to figure out how to pack the Supreme Court, which would destroy the trust in it. Good thing he doesn’t mean tweet!

Well, the SJWs claim that Asians are white-adjacent.
The dems want to get rid of the filibuster and they also want to get rid of the electoral college. It's blatantly transparent why they want both of these things gone.

There's headlines out right now saying things like "Biden's first press conference and how to watch it".
How to watch it? I never read any of the articles, so perhaps they mean we have to get the 3D glasses out hahaha!

Holy cow: 42% of Americans report undesired weight gain during Covid 19. The average weight gain is 29 lbs. And 41 lbs for Millennials! This will ramify for years to come. https://t.co/iRnyMDxbmX pic.twitter.com/tR9tcnt4s7

Millennials are fat tards now. I'm ok with GenX and Boomers not being known for that.

Yeah, Twitter has become the modern trail of tears for all of the dems that voted for JoMala because "muh orange man bad!"

posted by FletchDo you have evidence that it is done on both sides?
Yes. It's historical fact. Ever read anything at all about news published about Jefferson before he was president?
posted by like_thatInb4 we are told this is done on both sides.
I'm sure it has. History tells us this is true. Just taking a quick look at the propaganda during the Jefforsonian election explains this perfectly.
But, while I was dismissive of all of that at the time, I wonder if that wasn't a mistake.
It's going to be interesting when some republican who is much more spiteful and vengeful than McConnell takes the reins.

Well then he shouldn't have been oppressing the damn eggs by calling them Green. There's a long history of systemic racism in the practice of colorizing eggs. EoC (eggs of color) often get marginalized by grocery stores and markets, red-lined in favor of white eggs. This has to stop!
This is why I'm introducing a bill that will require all grocery outlets to practice equity and diversity by displaying equal amounts of white eggs and EoC. I'm also leading a grass roots organization on Twitter that demands people to say Xggs.

posted by ptown_trojans_1Fair. Very fair. I know I'm a little concerned about the talk of domestic terror bill something like the Patriot act.
Well, for a year democrats in DC told the public to go out and get in people's faces, to chase them down, surround them and "make them uncomfortable". They said that antifa was imaginary, people were rioting for bread and that it was their 1st amendment right to express how they felt about their oppression.
In return there was billions of dollars of damage and 30+ people dead.
So when some right wing idiots took them up on it and made democrats in DC uncomfortable - they all shit their pants.
Now those same democrats in DC are calling for republicans to be doxxed, turned in, lose their jobs, calling on Apple and Google to censore them from all medias and prison time. They're making the call for republicans in general to be labeled as extremists in order to be targeted.
There is no nuance at play here. It's the very worst kind of ideological hypocrisy and it's appalling.
And you're just "a little concerned", Ptown?
