Are we talking about the same media who covered up Joe Biden's decline in mental acuity over the past few years?  They speak in hyperbole constantly, they piece together snippets of what people say to make them sound more damning than they are and without any context, anyone who doesn't agree with their political view is evil, racist, xenophobic, homophobic.  And we are to be surprised they lied to their viewers?  Not only have they misled people, they are directly responsible for a lot of the mental issues people are having dealing with things like this.  I've got news for everyone, if you live a few years your side is going to lose an election.  If you mentally can't handle it and think the world is ending if your side loses, you should seek help.

 

I'm reminded of Lonesome Dove when Call asked about the hanging structure in some obscure town:  what, some politician?

I think of that line often.

It's crazy how these Dems are sticking up so much for a guy who thinks guys need tampons in their bathrooms. And then they think it's YOU who are off base. It's mental illness.

Now they are all coming out with women telling all other women to break up with their boyfriends and divorce their husbands "because they don't give a sh** about you". 

If I was a film maker, this would be a prime time for me to create success for myself based on the Democrats behavior today and for the next 10 years+.

I am certain that the media is aware of the Gelman-Mann effect.   I am equally certain they used their platforms to lie relentlessly in the belief that people will simply fall for it.

The bolded part is what I was referring to. Do you understand why that is hilarious?

On the broader scale of what you said- I don't know if it's lying so much as selling their pitch as truth. All media does it across every spectrum. I don't pick and choose one side as being above it over another.

The one guy on CNN perfectly sums up why the dems lost. He would literally not listen to the idea that normal people do not believe a boy can be a girl or a girl can be a boy. He melts down at just the suggestion of it. He goes out of his way to mention that polling has not shown that trans issues were one of the reasons they lost. Yet conveniently there was no question regarding that issue on the exit polls.

The media has been lying to us all.  We have to start from that position.  This is something I believe those who lean to the right have understood for a long time.

It is something that I hope those on the left now start to better understand.   A review of the Biden administration is the case study.  Consider the impactful lies told by the politicians, that was dutifully echoed by the media.

And on the rare occasion where the media stepped outside the liberal cult and asked valid questions, they were admonished by the politicians for it, and then the media got right back in line.

The lying over the last year alone......YOU should be looking at it and the results derived from those lies in this past election and be VERY suspicious.   Stop accepting their lies.....its time.

You are talking about the Gell-Mann effect which was coined by Michael Crichton of course. And since you are invoking it I assume you know what it is and how it relates to amnesia related stuff in reading.

Then you refer to it by a different name which is amusing.

I highlighted the bolded part. I said- this is amusing, I assume you see why. You chose to write a lot of words being critical of me (unless we are back to you pretending I am putting myself into it all) when you could've said "I'm not sure, why is it amusing?" An adult thing to do would've been to admit wrong or ask for clarification.

Nothing from the libs here about the BBC scandal, huh?  Figures.

Actually I’m surprised the maga folks haven’t mentioned it.

The BBC is facing a coordinated, politically motivated attack. With these resignations, it has given in

>>The resignation of the BBC’s director general, Tim Davie, over accusations of bias comes as a shock and leaves a gulf at the top of the corporation when it needs leadership most. Davie stressed that the decision was his alone – neither the board, nor even many of those who led the coordinated attack among rightwing press and politicians expected it.

Now the resignations of both Davie and the CEO of BBC News, Deborah Turness, have shown that baying for blood gets results.

The biggest shock is that this saga began just a week ago with the leak of a 19-page “devastating memo” from Michael Prescott, a former political journalist who spent three years as an external adviser to the broadcaster, published in the Telegraph. The dossier alleges BBC Panorama doctored a speech by Trump, making him appear to support the January 6 rioters, that its Arabic coverage privileged pro-Hamas views, and that a group of LGBTQ employees had excessive influence on coverage of sex and gender. The Telegraph wrote that the BBC’s very silence “proves there is a serious problem”. Meanwhile, the former UK prime minister Boris Johnson’s “blast” at Nick Robinson, the only BBC staffer to publicly fight back against the accusations, leads the Mail on Sunday, and Donald Trump’s press secretary has called the BBC “100% fake news”

Leave to one side for now the direct allegations about specific failures of BBC coverage, and the BBC’s own baffling inability or unwillingness to defend itself over the past week. But the row obscures the context that explains what is, at the heart of the matter, a political campaign against the BBC that could act as a textbook example of how to confuse and undermine the kind of journalism that is, at the very least, aiming for impartiality in a sea of spin and distortion.<<

The irony of you quoting the second biggest liar on x in order to post this story is not lost on me.  This is only referring to “BBC Arabic,” which I was today years old when I learned existed.
