The fact that nobody watched the damned thing but everyone seems to want to talk about it should say something about the state of American politics.

Stop

Giving

Them

Oxygen

If the media would stop giving creeps airtime (outside of ridicule), they’d fade into obscurity. But instead we get to “hear both sides of the story” when one side is just spouting nonsense and lies.

when 5 ~~people~~ billionaires own all the media, they can pick and choose what topics people have their attention on

[-] BremboTheFourth@piefed.ca 20 points 3 days ago

Which raises the question of why it's on the front page here.

[-] Sunsofold@lemmings.world 7 points 3 days ago

Because the billionaires are upstream of Lemmy. No one on here is posting their original research and first hand journalism.

[-] hypnicjerk@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

original research and first hand journalism, famous competitors for your focus against... pictures of 4chan posts

[-] Sunsofold@lemmings.world 2 points 2 days ago

You want to run that past some sort of basic grammar check? I have no idea what you're trying to say.

[-] hypnicjerk@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago

no i think i'll label that one under 'you problem'

[-] Sunsofold@lemmings.world 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Okay. If you don't actually want to be understood, you aren't really trying to communicate. Your just mumbilng to yourself. I don't need to listen. Have a nice time talking to yourself.

I had no issue understanding what hypnicjerk said. So I'm gonna agree with him that's it's a you problem

[-] Sunsofold@lemmings.world 1 points 1 day ago

Saying 'it's a you problem' when someone doesn't understand just means 'I am a self-important asshole who wants people to take my half-assed mumblings as important because they come from me, not because of their content.' Being an asshole is definitely a you problem. Have a nice time talking to yourself as well.

You should check the usernames. I was just letting you know that the only person that didn't understand what the other poster meant was YOU. As a 3rd party I completely understood what they meant in their original post. Meaning it is a "you problem". That was also why I mentioned them by name so you could understand that I was a separate person that had zero issues understanding what they meant.

Which is exactly why these morons remain relevant. News media needs this chaos to drive engagement and division.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago

Okay, but if we post this shit it gets upvotes. And I crave online attention and validation.

[-] Stern@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

I crave online validation too so I just repost memes, firstpost obvious takes, and post things that make me say "Neat" to the community I created for that express purpose.

I can't compete with my Grandmother's deep fried Minions memes

[-] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

I'm going to talk about it but only as a reference point for how unpopular and sad the right actually is. If rating were votes, they wouldn't even be top 3rd party.

[-] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

Don't forget shitty music! They also spout that sometimes
