I'm not saying CNN is a bastion of intellectual commentary and information, but "the media" as a scapegoat just rubs me as a mindless platitude.

America just friggen sucks right now.
Yeah...but you're hoping that people will demonstrate some cohesion in their beliefs and ideology. Which is very generous of you! :thumb: That's relatively long-range vision, and not something most people have capacity for. It's mostly just reacting to whatever stimuli is right in front of us.

And, since America sucks right now...you should vote Trump. Because that's basically his platform. :excellent:

I think you're spot-on. But what difference does it make?

The media as a scapegoat for what? For misinforming the country and outright lying to us? Is that what you mean?

You do realize we have one of the most biased if not the most biased media's in the world right? They are fucking fear mongering, lying sacks of shit. They will twist things into something when it's nothing. We have no real information because it's being run by liars and thieves.

That's not a scapegoat. That's the truth.

Fox is the absolute worst. They will outright lie about things and get millions of people in a uproar over nothing. But their brother and sister stations aren't far behind.

I don't disagree with some of what you're saying, btw, but it's hyperbole that hurts your argument, IMO.

Do you know what hurts your argument? You like using the word hyperbole and then you don't make an argument. Slut bag. :hug:


I know not all media is terrible but you have to admit that generally they are fucking dip shits.

I'll give an example I've given many times before.

While I was in Israel several years ago, Fox News was reporting that the Gaza border had been bombed. In fact it was not bombed at all. There was however a man carrying a bomb that was shot from a sniper tower a 100 miles from the Gaza border. hahaha. They straight up gave out misinformation. I'm not even sure where they get their intel. But it's shit like this that makes it hard for me to trust these bastards.

I do however like some of the stuff on CNN and MSNBC, but one is a right wing type station and the other is more liberal. They seem to have their own prerogatives. Which is fine. Whatever.

I just wish there was more accurate reporting being done in general.
