[a character sits at their desk, in front of their computers, and complains angrily]
Mainstream media? Unreliable, biased, full of fake news, they keep lying…
You can't trust them!
[changing to a point of view beind the character allows us to see that their screen is filled with other angry characters that look like the main character]
That's why I get all my news from angry dudes on social media and men's right activism podcasts
Who are funded by the same pedofile Zionist billionaires who own the mainstream media
Alot of those Podcaster dudes target the vulnerable and disenfranchised to get clicks. Also they are part of the reason for young men getting into the alt-right pipeline
All sources are biased. The ones that say they aren't are trying to trick you. Understanding the bias of what you consume allows sifting through to get the information.
I had to stop being friends with a guy because he doesn't trust in a lot of news.
But he would constantly go, "Asmongold said..."

Must be hard to break off a friendship with yourself, lol
Damn typo strikes again! Fixed.
"But he..."
Asmongold fan by typo is a cursed reality of our time.
Hey look, it’s my dad… 😑
Yeah mines the one spewing hatespeech on internet forums. He has his own yt channel devoted to his views. I don't talk to him.
Mine would have fallen for the same shit if he had lived to see it - makes me glad i don't have to deal with that, i'm sorry for you and your family, wish you all the best
So I had the misfortune of hearing a joe rogan podcast the other day. It was quite insufferable before I even knew who it was. They were talking about some cool science stuff for a couple minutes, then spent the next half hour bashing the scientific community and making ad hominem arguments about them. Sponsored by a gambling app. For fucks sake, talk about the science thing more damnit!
Many years ago I sometimes got stuck in a work truck with a guy who would play nothing but conservative bullshit radio, and it was insufferable.
Nothing but a non-stop stream of hate and bile and misinformation, and so many ads for products I would be embarrassed to be seen buying.

Angry dudes on social media
Turns out the world is ruled by a secret cabal of people that decide its fate during weird highly immoral sex ceremonies... And it was that cabal that decided to give visibility to those people.
Its all been lies as long as Ive been alive. True integrity in journalism has always been rare and an uphill battle. As soon as you come to terms with the fact that monied interests are never going to stop manipulating media, its easier to not take any of it too seriously.
Mainstream media owned by billionaires is wank tho
