Like nominating his daughter’s father in law to be ambassador of France. The same father in law who he pardoned in his last term. But hey, his name isn’t Hunter Biden.
Trump literally fucks kids with the world’s most notorious professional kid fucker and the media and most of the country are like
It is clear how the media can shift focus depending on the story but it is also important to keep the same level of scrutiny across the board. the double standard is hard to ignore
Diaper Donny could shit his paints live on air while shooting a bystander on 5th Avenue and nobody would bat and eye, but if Biden picks his nose its what we have to hear about on a 24/7 news cycle. The bar can’t get any lower for American politics.
Numbers wise, the country is still 75% white.
Election result was a reminder.
Also 50% of eligible voters couldn’t be bothered.
I’ve stated this a bunch of times but I’ve turned off the news ever since the election.
Outrage is profitable from both angles. As of right now, all I’m trying to do is enjoy mobile games I like because if I feed that outrage, it’s going to hammer down the fact that either one side doesn’t care, or the other cares too much.
This isn’t, however, me saying ‘I’m going to be ignorant of everything’. In a way, I’m protesting this modern day 24/7 hour media barrage of celebrity drama, horrible world traumas and ‘hip new trends to break your shins to’. I want substance back in media .I want the news to go back to stating the what, why, when and how rather than playing up the ridiculousness of headlines and repetition of stories.
I want to go my days not looking at my phone to see another major scandal where Youtube Influencer Man *Skibidy Skeet* was caught sucking the souls of orphans to fuel their trillion-dollar campaign, but it’s okay “They donated their souls to charity”. Meanwhile, when I try to search comments to find any semblance of vindication of how bad it is the orphans weren’t given a proper burial, it’s just people trying to vie for the hardest dunk on this guy while he continues to get views, money and more attention. Yes, it’s your fault for clicking on the video, how the fuck are you supposed to avoid the title “Addressing the Skibidy Soul Sucking” and not wonder “What the fuck does he mean soul sucking?”
It’s not like watching “The SKibidy Skeet Situation is Getting Out of Hand” makes it any better. Yeah, you’re not giving Skeet views but Kyle Commentator apparently spent idle time with Skeet, and is bias when it comes to a lot of issues in the past– he even gets information wrong and doesn’t use relevant sources.. Is his account better because he knows Skeet? Or is Kyle also a soul sucker of orphans?!
And then you try to go back to watching videos of Kingdom Hearts, but alas, there’s controversy there in that ThomasBoneBlade69, one of your favorite YouTubers on the topic just supported the WORST political leader, but WHOOPS that’s just a fake tweet, but everyone believes it’s already circulated by Twitter’s CEO, and THAT’S a head ache and…
tl;dr: I wish to return to the time where we did not have *everything* to look at.
The only political party with any agency is Democrats, according to the news media.
All the media is pretty much in bed with Trump they are just his propaganda machine.
It’s allllll on the press. They failed us extraordinarily, but they also failed themselves.
They were all over Dean’s scream.
The audacity of Republicans saying Biden went back on his word. Didn’t he have y’all chanting, “LOCK HER UP!” and, “BUILD THE WALL!” for a full year?
One day we’ll realize that not all media is a monolith and a lot of it changes based on what we the people drift towards, the problem is we the people drift towards dumb shit en masse.
The press is like that friend who always spills your tea but never their own.
Im sorry is this poster trying to claim that if Trump pardoned his kids the press wouldn’t have made a big deal out of it?
Trump is constantly criticized in the media.
The fact that Biden went back on his word to not engage in nepotism is cause for grave concern. This also makes it permissible for Trump to do the same, which is horrifying.
What Biden did is absolutely corrupt. Although I shouldn’t have to say this (but given it’s Reddit…), this does NOT mean that Trump isn’t also a corrupt scum bag. We should be able to call out Biden for his own corruption irrespective of Trump. Corruption is corruption. Healthy democracy demands us to call it out, no matter the party affiliation.
It’s a better reminder that we live in information silos.
Republicans get their news about democrats from other republicans.
Can’t even call it news
Want change? Infiltrate
From 2016 -2020 the media did nothing but shit all over Trumps presidency did they not? Then when Biden got in they were still shitting on him. They shit ok Trump almost daily though
What press and media are yall referring to? show me an source.
The double standard is Biden not pardoning black people with the same offenses. But let’s ignore that.
The media is complicit in the erosion of democracy
It’s not news when Trump does something dishonest or corrupt because he doesn’t do anything else.
If anything, Trump has exposed a lot of goings on in government and media.
I remember some time ago Dan Rather got on Twitter and spoke about lack of journalistic integrity and how we shouldn’t be where we are today. He was right and it’s only gotten worse.
There’s a reason Rupert Murdoch has been accurately described as an enemy of humanity.
This guy’s a great follow on tiktok btw
