    Media/Journalism Cringe Megathread - Hot off the Presses

    The problem is not prices. It's money. The problem is not money, it's currency. The problem is not currency, it's the amount of universally agreed upon medium of exchange needed to acquire products and services. That title should be a meme.

    Media/Journalism Cringe Megathread - Hot off the Presses

    I don't think any actually reputable research institution ever claimed that "the world is going to end in 10 years" (yellow leftist sites trolling for clicks notwithstanding). That's a huge misrepresentation of what climate science claims.

    Do you think they have the capacity to police their own platform for fair use as it stands right now? They'll have to do a massive realignment, and that takes time and money.

    Realistically they'll disable access to the site within seconds of a ruling that they're a publisher, and will remain nonfunctional (with plummetting stocks) until they can scrap together a business model that accounts for their new reality (and the accompanying code and RnD efforts).

    https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2021/12/stunning_facebook_court_filing_emadmitsem_fact_checks_are_just_a_matter_of_opinion.html Facebook done goofed. EDIT: Wrong thread... I thought Rittenhouse was the one who sued, my bad. Could go into the media cringe thread maybe?

    While a medieval peasant didn't have 24/7 tracking of his ass by his lord, the only freedom he had was to scratch away in the dirt (that didn't even belong to him) to make a minimal living. You are kidding yourself if you think the pre-reneissanance world had more freedom than the modern day...

    Citation needed as fuck. Given a choice you would have to be braindead to prefer living in the pre-reneissance era, especially if you're a commoner, compared to the modern day western world.

    Yet bizarrely everything is better, people have been more healthy, more happy and more free since those times (with occasional backslides, but overall it's no contest). Give me more of that slide to oblivion!

    *Spoilers for the first two books* There was a huge operation to catch them. Their mobile base on a huge yacht got raided and virtually destroyed, many of them died by being cut up and beheaded by a monomolecular wire, and the few cells that survived were scattered. In the sequel there's a...

    I did, it was just a deeply flawed creation, but fairly enjoyable nonetheless.

    I've enjoyed it very much, although a lot of the science was iffy. But the premise was good, as well as the presentation of the concept through the VR game. The villains are completely irredeemable shits though, and the attempt to make the reader partially sympathize with them is laughable. At...

    This is how hatred toward Israel is engineered under the cover of "trying to understand" Israel. https://www.camera.org/article/ny-times-sells-comical-account-of-what-it-means-to-be-israeli/ A journey across Israel in which all the interviewees are skeptical of Israel's existence, in a country...

    I believe they simply think that any criticism of Trump is the Truth ("well yeah, the media called Trump dumb because he IS dumb, duh"), while any criticism of Biden must be a "spin". That's why it looks to them like the media was fair to Trump (because they think it portrayed him as he is, and...

    I am not convinced that the Polish people as a whole have left this thinking behind them. I'll be happy to be proven wrong, but I'm not convinced from what I've seen of Poland. Now Germany itself is another story, they truly are repentant. In any case, this is a huge derail.

    Yes, I cited the ADL. Your point? How does this make me a liar? When the amount of traitors is that huge, and when the modern behavior of the people is out there in the open, it's very hard not to judge. Edit: I've considered that maybe I'm wrong and misremembering my history or something, so...

    A huge mass of Poles collaborated with the Nazis, not to mention there was a wave of attacks on what few Jews remained in the country after the Nazis already left. Also, it's not like it's a great secret that Poles are antisemites: You are being redirected... Your country is THE worst in...

    A taste of the typical manipulations the media pulls off when reporting on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. This is a report by Reuters: Except crucial information is missing. Her son, taken from a Hamas affiliated website: Wasn't this important context? Reuters doesn't care. Edit...

    I can think of quite a few good reasons, actually. Seriously, what's going on over there, beyond the Atlantic? Can it be that the US surpasses Europe in its craziness?
