Chickenshits are afraid to upset their god

I opened the car radio today and Fox was arguing Biden caused more damage to kids than Epstein because "he let too many immigrants in."

🎼 Some of those who work newsrooms

Are the same who rape kiddos

SHILLING IN THE NAME OF! 🎶

Which newspapers don't do this?

[–] stiffyGlitch@lemmy.world 19 points 7 hours ago

The minimization is CRAZY. Like people are saying "Oh, no, he didn't rape the kid he just had sex with her." Like the child CONSENTED to it. Sex, by definition, is engaging in sexual pleasure with both persons consent.

Our country that was fought for by thousands of soldiers, many whom died for this land, so we could have freedom and a break away from the king of Britain. He was a dictator, and now we are in the company of one such other dictator. A rat, who gained entry only by his father's money and influence. Who used that influence and abused it, who corrupted young minds and brainwashed people to believe that he was doing good.

That he was making America great again.

When the only thing he did for us was give us empty promises, and shoved us down the path of an emptier future.

More like the people that own these news companies are also in the files and tweaking the narrative as a result. Something something follow the money something

[–] BigBenis@lemmy.world 10 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

Because the news is largely owned by the oligarchy.

[–] MinoriMirariRProductions@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

Owned by Disney conglomerate which is paid into heavily by politicians.

[–] ViceroTempus@lemmy.world 5 points 5 hours ago

How the fuck was I your first upvote? You're spitting pure fact. Our MSM "news" is mostly owned by right-wing billionaires AKA oligarchs.

[–] selokichtli@lemmy.ml 14 points 8 hours ago

"Underage female". I'll never forget this.

The other night I listened to the PBS News Hour characterizing grok's AI child pornography as "explicit" and "putting women into bathing suits".

The corruption is deep, need to amputate

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 7 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

I was a bit miffed to discover that, during the current fall of america, most media, whether right, middle or left leaning, proved to us they'll fiddle with the truth for money and clicks. Fuck capitalism. We the people?, or we the money?

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

Don't you know how many Benjamins got the right to vote on 21 January 2010

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 10 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

This is why you should get your news from alternative media. I usually recommend Breaking Points. There's even a reporter on their staff that punched Jesse Watters in the face once.

[–] Turret3857@infosec.pub 3 points 9 hours ago

Internet Today is good too

[–] Zexks@lemmy.world 7 points 9 hours ago

People need to be calling out networks and reporters/authors by name for doing this. Stop blaming "they" and put a name on it.

[–] CheesyFingers@piefed.social 20 points 13 hours ago (4 children)

X.com? Supporting the abusers, i see.

[–] MajorasTerribleFate@lemmy.zip 1 points 4 hours ago

In principle, I agree.

Reaching out to the people who haven't moved on from the captured platforms, however, still has the potential to do good. If a large population is only or almost only using Twitter, then the message never reaches them if no one on Twitter is saying it. Of course, the algorithm will do what it can to minimize such voices, but a small amount of message saturation is more than none.

Distorsión of reality by linguistic manipulation.

This is straight out of 1984 book:

In the novel, "Newspeak" wasn't just about being concise; it was designed to shrink the vocabulary so much that "heretical" thoughts became literally impossible because the words for them no longer existed.

Here is a breakdown of how linguistic manipulation distorts reality, both in the book and in our world:

1. The Erasure of Nuance

In 1984, if you wanted to say something was "terrible," you just said it was ungood.

By removing "bad," "terrible," and "horrific," the emotional weight of the experience is flattened.

  • The Result: When we lose specific words for our feelings or experiences, our ability to think critically about those experiences atrophies.

is this made to look like it was written by "ai" as a sort of ironic joke, or did you actually use an llm to write your thoughts for you on how powerful people controlling the language we use is dangerous?

[–] pipi1234@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago
[–] Turret3857@infosec.pub 10 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Ungood is very similar to "unalived"...

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 9 hours ago (1 children)
[–] pipi1234@lemmy.world 5 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

They took a literary warning about totalitarian regimes and used it as manual to implement a totalitarian regime.

It would be laughable if it wasn't so dangerous.

mind that most of these people would otherwise refer to women as girls. it's deliberate.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 106 points 19 hours ago (7 children)

Another one:

Epstein is a convicted sex offender. They keep calling him, "disgraced Financier"

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 11 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Even that's too soft for him, makes him sound like the creep who moved in down the block.

In reality, he was the most connected and influential international child sex trafficker in history. "Convicted sex offender" sounds like one of his customers.

[–] rainwall@piefed.social 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Silly rabbit. None of his customers will ever be a "convicted" sex offender.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 4 points 1 hour ago

Let's change that.
