I never stated there wasn’t a scale of bias. Nor did I mix them all into a single pot. Now did I say everything is a bad as fix news. Nor did I say you can’t trust anything. I agree with all of what you just said.
What I said was that there is no such thing as objectivity. It is impossible for a multitude of factors. The best we can achieve is an attempt at balance. And because of that you should never get your news from a single source.
How is that “propaganda” and “nonsense?”
the problem is who has money to buy a newspaper.”
Yes. That is what I was referring to.
Reading through the comments I am curious… why do people think somebody gets into the news business, especially today? One doesn’t become a media tycoon for reporting objective news. They never have. They never will. They get into the business to control the message. Why is anybody surprised by this?
I read the times. Does it have bias? Yes. Literally impossible for any journal to not have bias. Objectivity is a myth. I think it’s more important to be able to see where that bias is, and then seek a counter balance to it.
Don’t read a single source. Otherwise you’re just another Fox News viewer.
While I don’t necessarily disagree with either of your points, neither of them have anything to do with what I was responding to.
I read the times nearly every day. Not sure what you mean by this. Can you expand? I find their reporting on trump to be pretty real. Their interview with John Kelly straight up calling trump a fascist is pretty damning. So…
Legit entertaining
This is how he has always operated. People tend to forget.
Lol ok.
Sounds like you don’t have much left to say and can’t back up your point, so you get personal.
I don’t understand your argument. Wall street was designed so that you and i could own actual shares in companies. Companies which produce goods and/or services. What is the backing value of bitcoin other than others possibly wanting bitcoin? What backs it other than demand?
I have owned crypto. I have made a lot of money off crypto. But to think it is safer than traditional investing i think is a bit naive. It’s, so far, a supposed solution looking for a problem.
In the short term, sure. In the long term the S&P 500 averages 8%/year for 100 years. I would argue that is a much, much smaller gamble.
Take your free money and put into something with real, actual backing value. Ignore the gambler side - it’s just the devil on your shoulder. This is free money. Let it work for you over the next couple decades.
Bonus: can also be applied to boomers.
100% true. This is especially the case when spreading dipping sauce on your pizza. Knifes just suck at this. Spoons rock.
Far too often i hear people say “i watch movies to escape, not think.”
Primer is one if my all time fav scifi flics. I have watched it maybe a dozen times. I have to literally pause the movie every time and think “what the fuck is going on again at this point?“
It is a deeply complex plot which does nothing to try and help the audience. You have to sink or swim. I don’t think it would fly… a lot of people would leave wishing they had 75 minutes back because “it was stupid and didn’t make any sense.”
To this day i am convinced Christopher Nolan attempted to make a commercially successful version of this (Tenet) with questionable results. I thought it was alright, but was… messy.
I have no opinion on the person who made cash here. Sex work is still work. You, however, are an asshole.
More? 22 brands released EVs last year alone. There are a LOT of options out there, with more to come. Apple would have been like, the 4,000th entrant in this market.
This is not bank debt. It’s the sum of his civil fraud trial and EJ Carroll trials. Trump owes nearly 500M is penalties. So i would say this is his problem.
Emigration is really hard, both emotionally and financially, regardless of where you live.
Didn’t come across as bickering at all. I appreciate the clarification.
