I’ve sacked off three teams. It’s remarkably easy.

People get bogged down in the semantics of everything. Always a label for this, a label for that, instead of asking why something has this association they just argue their semantics. It’s sports team tribalist nonsense and obfuscates the what and the how of the reality with labelling and identity politics. It keeps the public stupid and misinformed, but makes them think the opposite, of course they have to feed both sides of the sport game to ensure their is conflict without resolution; as both sets of supporters barrack something that doesn’t exist. Think tanks, newspapers, and all sorts of organisations do this from the most expensive Turning Point USA Fox News Tucker Carlson, to Leninists bickering with Maoists on some neckbeard LARPing subReddit. Just keep pumping the groupthink with rubbish information, content without context, memes with no value, keep the idiots consuming, drunk on content. Or some shit like that.

CNN from day has existed as a platform to sell the news, not report. Anyone that has sucked CNN’s dick at any point is deluded. MSNBC is not left leaning. It is a liberal piece of shit just like Fox and CNN. The only difference is that it sells it’s corporatism to socially open people. People need to accept there is no left major media in the west, it’s all corporate liberalism, with occasional lip service to minorities or lip service towards social conservatism. Liberalism is not a good thing, people in this thread aren’t liberals, accept the fact that liberalism is a conservative ideology based on exploitation and colonialism. Which are two things that still happen, but it just looks different. Liberalism and conservatism aren’t antithetical, any western conservative movement is either liberal or fascist. The shite that Fox drones on about are literally key ideals of liberalism.

Is he cute? The show is based on a book series, so the story is well-written and while the premise might sound pretty typical, it actually keeps you guessing!

And at the end of the day, the big 3 of the US news sources are just 3 flavours of the same kind of bullshit. There's right-leaning corporate bootlicking with Fox, left-leaning corporate bootlicking with MSNBC, and middle of the road corporate bootlicking with CNN. At the end the day, they all report on the same stories and dominate the political landscape of America by getting people to focus on smaller issues rather than big picture things that will actually improve lives for most people. They push the partisan divide because focusing on common ground issues doesn't help them get more money. Chaos in US politics is also profitable for them - MSNBC and CNN probably loved Trump more than Fox ever did tbh. So they feed the culture wars, they push little issues, they try to make politics more dramatic than substance and love people that are just political jesters rather than anyone pushing substantive policy. And by getting people to view politics the same as being the equivalent of a fan of say... a football team... they push that partisan divide more and more and fuel the political chaos of the US. And it's spread to the UK now tbh, the only thing that might save my homeland is the utter ineptitude of the last string of Tories... although it's not like I've got a great deal of faith in Labour to demonstrate competence over the last decade, nor do I have any faith in Lib Dems, the Tory-lite party. I'm sure @Spike will agree the same shit has taken off big time in Australia (cheers Mr. Murdoch) - and I'm pretty sure you've said politics in Canada is getting more and more like the US. Idk what the real solution to this problem is. Because at the end of the day, it's class warfare being waged in silence with those with seemingly endless money getting to determine the political landscape. But if you want breaking news, you're better off going to AP rather than any of these sites. If you want investigative journalism, you've got to look hard into your sources because corporate media generally doesn't want journalists investigating things too hard. All media is going to have bias, so if you want to be well informed you need to be aware of that and look into sources that minimise bias... and try to keep an eye on what particular journalists/sources are going to have a bias towards. But if you want political theatre... then the infotainment you get from TV news is the way to go. But everyone should know it's dogshit journalism and it should be viewed as entertainment more than news.

You stuffy cunt.

That must be a sign, think you should hook us up

You're fighting the good fight, I applaud you Gonzo. CNN actually just fired the CEO guy I forget his name that tried to take them down that rabbit hole because naturally all it did was tank their viewership that they used to have and gained next to nothing from the right wingers and fox abandoners. That town hall was a bloody disgrace and basically they abandoned that plan now after giving it 6 months or so. The problem at the end of the day is most news sources in the States are far too concerned with their bottom lines then they are about reporting actual news.

I've looked at a few of the recent articles (she's all over the news right now because of claiming to be rid of cancer, good for her) and I haven't seen a single mention of trans athlete issues. So I think as usual with the culture war, much ado about nothing and is generally ignored by most people. Pretty sure CNN just got bought out by some big right wing guy, so they'll be making more right wing pivots. I actually disagree with the idea that they're left of centre - they're the flagbearers of corporate media worldwide, they're about as centrist as you can get in mass media. MSNBC is centre-left. Forbes is just a hollowed out shell of what it used to be (which tbh, it's "peak" was before I ever came to this country or cared about it's media sources... so for all of my time caring about American news, it's just been a joke publication). In any case, I'd advocate reading your news from stuff like AP rather than getting it from these types of sources. YouTube and TV news aren't real news and just biased infotainment just designed to piss people off because outrage generates engagement. Engagement generates repeated clicks/views. Repeated clicks/views = more ad revenue. The DHS judiciary hearing thing doesn't even appear to be recent - here's their schedule: https://www.judiciary.senate.gov/committee-activity/hearings - the last hearing re: the DHS in front of the Senate Judiciary committee was March 28th. It's all public, so if that's all just being reported on now... it's not really timely news. I'm not going to watch it because it's 4 fucking hours long - there's no transcript online yet (the most recent DHS transcript though is from March 2... but it's about their budget). In the highlight reels I've looked at, I don't see anything re: "more interest in starting wars than helping the interests of people" - 1.) DHS has fuck all to do with wars other than protecting the US against cyberattacks (and they mentioned the increased number of cyber attacks coming from China, Iran, Russia)... and cyberattacks aren't really considered war or warfare; 2.) they talk about how the agency's been cracking down on human trafficking and fentanyl from Mexico with... record human trafficking arrests and fentanyl seizures (which is in the interest of Americans); 3.) talking about the rise in domestic threats - this is probably where they've been most lax in their duties tbh. 4.) they talk about their role in disaster relief with regard to tornados somewhere in the south of the US... and tbh, I don't know what the fuck disaster relief has to do with their fucking duties so I thought that was bizarre. You've got to remember, these are all very long hearings and a lot of what gets reported on for TV is just when politicians start talking about irrelevant bullshit that's got nothing to do with the hearing - it's all just theatre for their constituencies, it's very seldom got anything to actually do with the real meat of the hearings. In any case, I don't think it's a good thing to get caught up in the US's culture wars. Especially if you don't live in the US - but honestly... even if you do live in the US. It's just background noise meant to get people to focus on issues that aren't really important - there's a reason corporate media pushes these culture wars. They don't want people looking into actual problems in society that benefit those at the top of US society. And you've always got to remember, anything that can be monetized by media... is going to be monetized by media - and outrage sells better than reporting on the news accurately. YouTube is no different.

Can confirm the bitumen gets enough heat to cook an egg

'generally, torture is bad'

He’s a private individual with £1.5billion in the bank. How’s he affording it? Twitter melts angry that Radcliffe will borrow against Ineos and not take the club immediately out of debt. How’s Sheikh Jassim making us debt free and taking over with £500million? Let’s not kid ourselves. This is a state puppet backed by state banks.

Crazy stuff. This many warning signs before any tourne let alone the last WC and still unlikely to make any changes is what youre saying. The Jogi Löw project was something to behold so I guess it really isnt too surprising.

That's what happens when you refuse to play die hässlichen Vögel upfront.

Yeah, if Liverpool become state owned I’m also gone. I’ll still watch football as a neutral.

Silo is the most under radar show currently.
