What I want to know if Shkreli is able to manipulate the market by dint of the amount of money he's throwing around or if he's leveraging his media-built persona as a ruthless shark to make more money.

You think that he's the only one falsely inflating the price of a drug or procedure, or do you think that's literally every pharma and medical company in America?

What if instead of showing people saying they remember the videos, what if they just showed the video for proof? Why aren't they showing the video itself????

Your Dunkle Sans posted:How are GOP leaders getting away with saying refugees aren't being vetted and that we need to enact stronger measures to keep out terrorists? Are they betting on people literally not knowing anything about the refugee resettlement process (ie that it is already the most stringently vetted migration process we have) and will not even do the most basic of fact-checking? It's because the media are cowards and are afraid to say the l-word because that would be taking sides  e: Rahm asking the Police Chief to step down right now. zoux fucked around with this message at 18:11 on Dec 1, 2015 |

FCKGW posted:Yeah, seriously. Something fundamentally changed around the firing of Ellen Pao and the whole rhetoric around that. I think a lot of the more moderate users just got fed up with all the poo poo being pushed to the front page around that time, all the people who flooded the entire site with posts about Ellen Pao, FatPeopleHate and all the "Chimpire" stuff being banned. Those users left and never came back. Also since Pao got canned, a lot of the more vocal shitheads on Reddit felt vindicated because they got what they want and now they feel like they can just run the place and put up any garbage they want.

foobardog posted:Seriously. Like lovely people existing with in the US has been true all my life. But there's seriously a level of vindication going on now that is incredibly frightening. The difference, for me, between it and the other kinds of bigotry we see in America is that with things like homophobia, racism, misogyny, etc, there's usually a sense that the person knows that what they are saying isn't acceptable. Like they get that people think it's wrong to be racist or whatever, and they have to dissimulate and qualify and explain things. But with Islamophobic rhetoric you can say the most hateful, ignorant things and they just don't think they are doing anything wrong at all. They don't see it as bigotry. It's just normal.

foobardog posted:I guess another problem is that this poo poo has been widely criticized, but unlike in Reagan's claim, you can choose your facts, and many people have completely chosen complete and utter misinformation, and the media is at best a selfish profiteer on that universe, at worst a willing participant in maintaining it. There's just too much information available and unless you have a lot of practice or specific training, it's very hard to distinguish between good and bad sources, and that's only if you are interested in facts and not belief-reinforcement. Too many people give the same weight to 24-point blue font emails from grandma as an exhaustively researched, edited and proofed article.

theshim posted:So what would you guys qualify as being passable, out of curiosity? Not good, because I know we can find ways to rail against literally every single reporter in the world, but what provides a reasonable amount of substance these days? Individual twitter accounts of reporters I know to be good. But basically there is no one unequivocally "good" news source. You just have to be able to discriminate between good and bad reporting, data and presentation. A good rule of thumb is that if what you are reading confirms everything you believe about yourself and everything you believe about the other side, find another source to corroborate it.

Captain_Maclaine posted:Well if they were clever, they'd realize Trump lives or dies by the amount of media frenzy he can generate since he's even more lacking in substance than many other GOP hopefuls and, if they call his bluff, hopefully other media organizations realize that he needs them a hell of a lot more than the reverse. He'd just buy time (or have it given to him) by another network and have his own counterprogramming and everyone would tune into that. Unless there are specific FEC rules to prevent that.

It's still not good, if it's true. But that guy has been a "long time critic of Obama and GWB's mideast policy" so he could just have an axe to grind. We'll have to see if the story has legs.

Killer robot posted:I haven't read those, but in the real world "tank" was because when the first tanks were still classified wartime projects the cover story was that they were being developed as mobile water tanks for the front. So probably just an "exact terminology differed" sort of AU thing there. Oh, well there you go, thanks.
