14 people were shot in a Las Vegas hooka bar yesterday and it's not even on CNN's front page that I could see https://apnews.com/article/shootings-las-vegas-d899bd8680aa43986fe0fb4114fa1ef4 I guess because "only" one person actually died but a mass shooting seems like news I think

The thing about crypto is that in many ways it’s a built in Ponzi scheme. So, if you got in early and have a lot of tokens then the brain worms start burrowing and whispering about howrich you’ll be when the ‘real’ suckers start buying in so you try and recruit the next tranche of suckers for the next level of the pyramid. Either that or they threw a lot of money at him. Probably both.

Ukraine is polling at 90% favorable in the US at the moment. Tuckers just following along what people want to hear. He has no integrity or shame. He's also completely immoral in that he doesn't care at all if people are hurt by his disingenuously bad advice.

It's like the vaccines, Trump and Fox obviously want to be pro-vax because The Money* wants everyone vaccinated and back to work making number go up (and Trump wants credit for inventing it), but their viewers just don't want to hear it *well except for the supplement industry obviously which wants to sell everyone vitamin D and elderberry pills or whatever instead of medicine

I was going to say I don't know which is worse, if Larry David is just trying to get someone else to hold the bag, or if FTX just paid him a shitload of money to shill crypto, but ultimately either reason is founded in "Sure I'm a rich motherfucker who has enough money to last multiple lifetimes, but what if I could be even richer?" so it doesn't matter I guess.

But for whatever it’s worth he did his turn as soon as the invasion started. That tweet says Tuesday. So I suspect it was less motivated by any back door bank deposits than by his main source of income. I imagine It was one of those times Fox pulled the reigns and told him to get on board with the company line (that it’s bad but it’s all Biden and Muellers fault and Trump would have stopped it).

I had no idea convicted war criminal Allen West was running for governor of Texas until I heard a bit of his interview with Mark Levin tonight. West talked a bit about how military service runs in his family, unfortunately he didn't say whether committing war crimes runs in his family too, but I'll just assume it does. West talked some about how Abbott was refusing to do things, and that his cowardice in the face of the federal government was making the people of Texas mad. I wondered how true that was and went to look at the latest polling, and Abbott is ahead of West by like 50 fuckin points so lol.

I don’t usually watch fox but turned it on during my workout for shits and giggles — Hannity was wearing a Ukraine pin and tripping over himself to say despite his criticisms of the “corrupt”Ukrainian government Zelensky’s a hero. They also had a subline in big bold letters — “PUTIN IS A MURDERER” just to make sure the people at home at following along know that now Putin is the bad man. They didn’t even get into talking about how Biden caused all this until like 5 minutes in to the show.

Yeah the game is now pretending those last couple of weeks where the Biden Admin was warning about the invasion and they (and others) were all yelling that he was lying and trying to distract from domestic issues and start a war never actually happened. Now they said nothing and Biden actually caused the war by… uh… uh… the Mueller investigation? Whatever. Go team! Also Vladimir Putin is now crazy. He wasn’t crazy last week or for all those years we praised him. He wasn’t crazy when he did this exact same thing for years and years and years and in a whole other country. He’s just losing it now and that makes it ok that we like him because we weren’t all worshiping a despot because of our deep desire for a racist homophonic Christian ethnic state ruled by a strong man. Nope. He’s just got dementia or something.

Yeah kinda hard to pass off Abbott as an establishment Republican when he's making it illegal to be trans, like the best West could do was say that Abbott extending early voting by a week last year was unconstitutional, and that he wasn't protecting the border because he wouldn't declare war on cartels or station the National Guard along it to murder anyone that tries to cross.

Conservatives play this card a lot. Like, getting all pissed off at "the media" reporting accurately on things that these idiots said or did - on the record and on the air. There's no inherent bias in a media outlet running a story on something that Trump, Hannity, Rush or Carlson actually loving said, complete with video, but somehow this becomes more of a "the liberal media is attacking me" rather than "look at this dumb horrible poo poo I said". You see the results manifested in poo poo like CNN and VICE reporters getting harassed for doing nothing more than actually just interviewing people and filming speeches at CPAC or wherever.

The bad reaction to Actual Reporters is because the interviewees at CPAC, etc., know that CPAC is a grift. Their followers don't care about them screaming at CNN or VICE because it is a demonstration of power that they can continue to maintain their lies against reality.

Maybe a little bit and I suppose some selective editing goes on but from what I've seen most of these outlets are so overly sensitive about appearing to be biased that they bend over backwards a lot of times to not come off that way. I spent a good chunk of Trump's administration just reading his loving tweets and watching his full speeches so I didn't even need a media filter since it was all RIGHT HERE. I watched 1/6 and several BLM protests unfold in real time on live streams but none of that stopped the perpetrators from claiming it was undercover Soros funded Antifa operatives making everyone look bad. It's the whole "me or your lying eyes" thing. These people are on the record and claim bias when it's reported or shared. Trump's own Twitter account was right there for anyone to read. Same with FOX and the whole lot of them. Reporting things people actually loving say and holding them accountable for it doesn't amount to bias no matter how much editing or selective representation happens. Christ, often they'll claim it was out of context or flat out deny saying things where I heard the entire statement from beginning to end. It goes from: 1. I never said that 2. That's not what I meant 3. It was taken out of context 4. Ok, yes, I said that but it's actually true and not so bad 5. What about some other (black, gay, democrat, liberal) who said x,y,z? 6. See how the media is pickin on me?
