Discussion Ok folks, time to make popcorn!

Stick around for them talking about "Fact Checking" the living sheet out of Trump ...but not Biden. Phfff...

I am early voting tomorrow. I like Trump, Biden is just a career politician. He will tell you anything you want to hear. Trump knows business and that’s what we need now.
As far as the debate, waste of time.

If the fact checking doesn't go both ways... then it's not reliable information to us. I'm growing increasingly tired of the "talking heads" not really reporting as unbiased reporting. That is what I want. So... ugh, this is why I have to see things for myself.

I remember my elders telling me: Believe most of what you see, half of what you read, and none of what you hear. ( I may have fkd that up, I just remember the "none of what you hear" part)

Don't confuse opinion shows with news. The talking heads aren't reporters.

 

[Johnny Best]

That’s why I don’t listen to most people. Their mouths are moving but nothing important is coming out.

That is what I used to think. I actually studied journalism in college. (wanted to be a broadcast reporter - damn, geek clue. became a punk rock musician instead). I know biased reporting vs non-biased. I didn't think reporters use to be bias. That is not the creed, and responsibility of reporting.
Now, It's getting harder and harder to tell the difference between the opinion commentator, and the news reporter.

Most reporters are opinionated. If they are not they won’t be hired. They have to be in lockstep or they are gone.

I have a confession to make. I didn't make any popcorn. but I think I might now, and go watch my latest netflix binge right now.

since it's close to Halloween, perhaps I'll re-watch some black mirror episodes....

I get all my leading-edge, hard news by following Alyssa Milano on Twitter.
She knows what's what.

...However, Reporters are all just "Talking Heads" ...simply reciting from the script given to them. If you follow either one than you are nothing more than part of the "Sheeple" or a "Bobble-Head".

"Lock-Step" is right up there with "Goose-Step". You remember that don't you Johnny?

 

[Johnny Best]

I was born in Nuremberg, goose step is in my genes.
