What's that old adage? "All evil needs to thrive is for good men to do nothing"?

I could have put this in several threads, but I believe this is mostly MSM related.

Watch the video. It's almost like there's certain narratives that they want us to focus on while ignoring others. Kind of like how the U.S. media ignores the vast majority of violent crime to only focus on incidents involving certain races/groups.

The state of gaming media...

Randy Pitchford is the head of Gearbox studios, the makers of Borderlands. This is not a meaningless X survey. This will affect some marketing spend.

NewsMax says Elon vs Trump is a "4D chess" move by Donald to kill his own bill.

CNN article today:
What happens if Trump gets control of the Fed? Warnings from history for the US and beyond
This has nothing to do with the contents of the article. I just find it interesting how each side is so willing to look at history and policies in other countries for some things, but not others.

Guns. Trans. Healthcare. Immigration. The list goes on and on.

Nobody sits and watches the news unless they're retired. And even then, get a fucking hobby. Enjoy your retirement! Why TF would you sit around and watch depressing shit?

Everyone else is online getting their news from their favorite echo chamber.

Lady next to me on the plane watched Fox News the whole time. I think she was only a little older than I am.

I had to go look. Those are just subcategories that are hot button/popular issues. The "U.S." at the top is the link to all U.S. news.

It is, but they sure want you to focus on certain things.

Of course they do, just like every news outlet.

Although, there's a business aspect too. Those subcategories probably play heavily into their audience's interests, which generates traffic, which equals money.

Same with how the reporters and audience of CNN might hate Trump, but he's been great for ratings and profits there.

This Minnesota-Somali fraud stuff isn't just exposing a lot of wasted tax payer money, it's exposing the MSM as a complete sham. A single independent journalist, actually doing the footwork, broke this story wide open. Instead of investigating, they simply wrote puff pieces praising Somalis for all of their hard work in building this country (Seriously, what? The mayor of Boston just made headlines for saying the same about Boston. Really? Do the Irish know that the Somalis did everything there?) and then claiming the amount of fraud is tiny and this is all a MAGA or right wing witch hunt.

But remember kids, the MSM is to be trusted at all times and isn't at all biased, you know, except for Faux News!

This guy comes with all the receipts:

Considering people are already filling TikTok, X, FB, IG, and so on with videos showing other Somali daycares, medical offices, and driving services and matching them with all the publicly available documents showing the money they've received and so on, I'd say yes, this will be the year of the independent journalist. Maybe it'll force MSM to actually do their jobs again and stop being propaganda arms of the political parties.
