Few things peeve me off more than people telling the parents of murdered children that their children never existed.
instead of perceiving the news media as impartial distributors of fact people start to see them as propagandists pushing an agenda. when that happens, trust is going to plummet, and those who are already predisposed to believing conspiracy theories are going to find them wherever they look.
That's why we cross reference. The internet makes it easy.
well, no. there's problems there too.
Also, there's always Reuters which just feeds news events and not opinion
how can you cross reference when all the media are reading from the same script?
KATV is my home town ABC station
when we have things like Journolist and Cabalist
What is the link about?
I think when reporting on an actual event, not an opinion, that Fox and and ABC both reporting the same event would establish that the event happened
a bunch of local news stations that are all owned by the same company, reading a generic statement pushed from higher up
Maybe not the editorials around it
But the event itself
my point is that if you have four networks all receiving their information from one source, you can't cross reference.
you need actual reports actually on the ground looking at the actual event live and unedted.
and news networks don't really do that anymore.
it's all commentary.
thats what twitter is for!
horrifyingly enough
Are we really at a point where people honestly believe a mass shooting could be manufactured and not disproven within a few hours?
well i don't think so, but some do
I guess?
people don't think we landed on the moon
People know 9/11 was an inside job
how is this surprising?
we are actually at a point where elections can get tampered with and can't be proven or disproven
i mean think, think it was an inside job
people also think falcon 9 rockets are UFOs
specifically those in California for some reason
I mean, to be a pedantic asshole, if they can't identify them, they are UFOs
while i'm not so far gone as to believe that a shooting with video and victim testimony has been fabricated, i definitely believe that people will falsify records and statistics for political gain.
and we have proof that tech giants have experimented with manipulating people's access to facts to change their opinions.
and we also have proof that media outlets collude with both each other and the democratic party to manipulate public perception.
again journolist and cabalist as well as the podesta hack.
information is power
'credibly accused'
media outlets collude with each other to push a particular narrative, to the point of coordinating the phrases they use.
if you're the kind of person who isn't particularly stable or logical to begin with, once presented with proof of this sort of collusion and manipulation it's not hard to take a wild leap to the idea of staging entire events.
Yeah
