well, truth is often controversial nowadays so I guess just telling how it is can give you clicks alone sometimes

It was only founded in the late 90s and was leading the ratings of the cable channels as early as the 2000s IIRC

it was my main problem with republican platform in general. too dependent on specifically the christian religion.

The thing you have to realize is that Fox is a bubble.

The left, and a good bit of the center won't trust anything coming out of it.

It's just a different bubble than the rest of the media.

A bubble that better aligns with the markets not served by the mainstream presses (like the rural areas of the country).

i don't think anyone has doubted that

I trust events, not motives

The thing (and this is something that the postmodernists understand and understand well) is that facts, or atleast the presentation of them, can be easily and directly manipulated by the people providing it.

Everyone is familiar with the "spin" exercises in grade school where you take a given event and spin it in a positive and negative way.

cherry picking and wording go a long way

The more common way is to just exclude stuff that's "not relevant" or "problematic"

"you can lie with statistics and statistics lie"

wait..you have spin exercises in school in burgerica ?

The power of the media is chiefly in framing issues and picking the issues to fight over.

we do, but those are on stationary bikes

Which is Trump's advantage. The media hates him *so* much that he can pick rough areas to fight over. He has no control of how it then gets portrayed, but he can start fights.

The child separation policy was likely a calculated move by Miller. Miller grew up as a conservative provocateur in Berkeley. He knows how to play a disfavorable press for attention.

true, they're so desperate, that Trump can literally dangle a string, and they jump for it

Other Republicans usually worry about how it will get portrayed.

Which is how there was a brush up between the Nikki Haley "stop triggering the libs" types and the "these guys are delusional and we're only breaking the conditioning with mockery and memes" types.

The former worry about making their points in favorable terms so as to not lose. The latter are shitposters and resemble Trump.

Man today has been painful... migraine from hell to the point it was hard to move.

How has everyone's day been today?

well, nothing like that atleast

i just made more Tim emojis by popular request

nice!

Make a Batman Timcast... with his symbol being Beanie cap.

I am determine to turn Timcast into Beanie Man meme.

Okay, in what state did asia argento have sex with that 17 year old? Becouse in most US states the age of consent is 16.

California

its 18

there

and mine

and to my knowledge it was 18 in most

not 16

if not all

its either 16, 17, or 18 in the US

In most states its 16, i checked a while back

Like a few months ago

it wouldn't matter if he was 30,

She fed him alcohol and forced herself on him,

Its rape, the fact it was to a minor just "adds" to the problem

Im not saying its okay. But, yeah, my sister was with a guy in his 30s as well when she was 15 or 16 (age of consent is 14 here, at least thats what i think her age was at the time, wasnt something i cared about so not a strong memory)

ouch

Im just asking becouse tim kept saying it would be statuatory rape regardless multiple times in the video.

i see,

Well if its true that in Cali its 18 years, it was most certainly statuatory rape

It is, thats easy enough to check, just didnt know where that took place.

Why is every pet raccoon in the world obese

cuz they're not meant to be pets

My uncle owns a raccoon... he taught it to help him shuck corn.

They are pretty smart buggers, but shouldn’t have them as pets

I need an opinion

“Jokes are funny, ha ha”- God said to moses

Is art of war a good book

probably not, but i've never read it~

it can make a good campfire, i'll tell you that

I just bought it with some bday money

Along with Dracula

I also received an entire collection of Edgar Allen Poe’s stories

gotta say, dracula was super boring~

As well as a cookbook

How was Dracula boring

so slow, the letter format didn't apeal to me

Lmao

Art of war is decent, but a bit dry imo

The Art of War is probably okay, but considering its popularity i'm willing to bet its full of well known quotes

Maybe

I just found some cool books

Almost bought mein Kampf

But sadly ran out of money

probably not the best book to decorate a coffee table with~

why not get Donald Trumps "Art of the Deal"? 😛

I have a collection of books I still need to read

If you study and write papers military history like I do, citing Art of War is a solid choice to prove your point if it can apply

Fuck no lmao @Dr.Wol

I still have IT to read

i just finished Dune,

Ooo true

The only thing is I plan to become a vet tech now lmao

I don’t think art of war will apply

hey man the Art of the Deal is a masterpiece,

It lines up donald trumps 11 steps for corporate success and guess what <:TimThink:482277772497125378>

He applies all 11 on his presidency

lol

Would greys anatomy be a good book to get if I’m gonna go into a medical field

@Dr.Wol only 11 steps? What a fckin genius

it provides inside to his success 😛
