Comment Thank Project 2025 (Score 1, Insightful) 196

They've been pushing this narrative that media can't be trusted. This then allows them to shape stories to fit their own right-wing agenda. Witness for the past 5 years all the whining about a "stolen" election. Almost every day for Biden's term that fake story was pushed out, mainly by their stooge Trump, but definitely put out there on other sites and roundly repeated by the dullard MAGA crowd.

Never mind that the Fox tabloid jumped wholeheartedly on this bandwagon and got bitchslapped for almost $800 million for pusing the lie, or that several attorneys were either suspended from pracitce, criminally charged, or disbarred for repeating the lie in court. Nope, the election was stolen and the media is lying because . . . reasons.

Then of course there are the calls of "FAKE!" every time the truth is put out. Such as when repeating the decaying coleslaw words of dear leader Trump. Repeat his own words and you're called out for being "fake news".

What makes this story so hilarious is that the same people who claim to have low to no trust in media are the first ones to go rushing to the same media to see who the new white guy is shotting up a church or school. They want to see if their biased perceptions are true and when the story doesn't match what they think, they claim the story is false because . . . reasons.

Even more hilarious is when people claim they no longer listen to the media but instead get their news from various social media sites. Where do they think the people posting screenshots are getting their information from?

Turmp is right. Smart people don't like him because he caters to the poorly educated (a group he says he loves) who will lap up any bs he or Project 2025 or the late Charlie Kirk spit out. Because instead of looking at reality, they want to believe there is some vast conspiracy by news media to lie to them, to withhold the truth. Except, when the truth is out there, these same people claim it's all lies. They can't have it both ways (they can, but it shows their stupidity). Either you have to accept these people are doing their jobs reporting on corruption, reporting on who's doing what underhanded thing, who's committing genocide, or you don't. You don't get to pick and choose like all the Senators and Representatives who claim the election was stolen, except for their election.

The FCC said it would consider public comments before deciding whether to reverse the rule

The decision has already been made. They'll probably use fake comments like they did in his first term. Went looking for the quote, but a guy wondered how his dead mother was able to submit a public comment.

This will be no different than RFK, Jr saying in April he'll find a cause for autism by September. And look what happened.

Putting one in New York never really made sense to me, because the state of New York had aproximately nothing to do with the shuttle program other than providing a museum at the end and probably contributing some astronauts to the program.

Eyeballs. Compare the number of people who visit New York City to Houston. New York City attracts 60 - 68 million visitors each year. Houston attracts roughly 54 million.

NYC also has more international visitors than Houston so more people from around the world would get to see a shuttle.

A GSA spokesperson told TechCrunch that Musk was not directly involved in negotiating the agreement.

It is guaranteed Musk was involved in negotiating the agreement. Nothing gets done at the company without his approval.

This is just another example of the ongoing grift. Taxpayers are once again footing the bill so the boys club can have their meetings.

If there's actually a genocide going on, maybe it's Hamas' fault for hiding in amongst the civilian population, eh?

Perhaps Israel shouldn't be murdering civilians waving white flags in a designated "safe" zone.

But please, keep making excuses for the ongoing genocide.

California's population in 2023 was 39 million and had ~100,000 deaths attributed to COVID and California had some of the strictest COVID policies.

What's your point?

That California was more diligent in tracking covid deaths while Florida deliberately went out of its way to hide its numbers.

You have 20+ million criminals in your country from nations all over the world,

No, we don't. What we do have is the vast majority of crimes, of all types, are committed by U.S. citizens born in this country. Such as this one which was recorded, but which Trump said isn't a big deal and ordered the case closed.

But please, continue with your ranting. It gives us something to laugh at.
