you know, it is what it is
it would be interesting if they brought out a new law/rule... where if someone describes themselves in a certain way (like "factual news") they are held to extreme standards where not even opinion pieces are allowed .. I wonder how many would actually subscribe to that description
would still be fake
you'd get lying by omission instead
so you still have freedom of press... but if you want that "presteigious" label you have to have extreme standards and massive repercussions for misleading
well, with that you'd have the tale of 2 narratives
Left thinks CNN is telling the truth and Fox is misleading
Right thinks Fox is telling the truth and CNN is misleading
@Dr.Wol i mentioned this before but i worked at nbc and they actually pulled me into a meeting with them and they asked me what is twitter and shot like that , i was just a IT consultant
so cnn/fox/msnbc would all have to split to 2 companies ... with one having the new title
it would have to stick completely to facts
"so and so said this", "so and so replied with this"
who decides what facts are?
This was in 2009 and fox was beating nbc
nobody can decide what facts are
then you can't have a consensus on which news is "prestigeous"
Facts fuck that , we need shit that promotes our side , thats what is happenig now
if you say "Trump infuriates people by saying 'blah blah blah'" ... then you get repercusions if you cant prove that a significant amount of people are infuriated
I'd like a michelin star style organisation for news websites
Where they rate news websites
basically anyone can call them out .. and they have to prove what they say
Oh hey. I'm a normie now!
Look at the Kavanaugh case Wacka,
the Left believes Ford is telling the truth, and that Kava is lying and scum
the Right believes Ford is lying and scum, and Kava is telling the truth
you can't call either side out cuz theres no proof left or right
and they cant prove "after the fact" ... they would have to prove that they asked people BEFORE writing the story
at best you can say "theres no evidence, so the accusation can't be proven, Kava goes free"
I think the knife, back in the day, did a good job of taking out all the spin
just list the facts... hell put the whole transcript in the article
with a summary of quotes at the top
@Dr.Wol i sorta believed ford but after the fbi investigation, i 💯 % do not believe her now
I never believed her, it was too convenient in timing, and the accusation follows the MeToo template
"Oh, something unprovable happened 36 years ago"
Too much shady shit going on with her , and that whole listen and believe bullshit is a shitty excuse for subverting due process
exactly, but my point was waht does the media say
and who can say "who is right"
if you can't have a consensus
Its like when people say “the customer is always right” fuck of with that shit , its a shitty excuse for shitty behavior
actually "the customer is always right" started on the store side to keep customers happy
And a excuse to fire csr
csr?
Customer service reps
nah those were there to ensure customers would stay happy and remain customers
Yeah cuz muh shekels
