Seems like he's been solving problems since the Covid vaccine rollouts...

All major media imo, everyone needs to look at a trainwreck and it drives their eguagement wether their messaging is for or against

Everyone just needs to focus on figuring out objective truth, rather than relying on someone else to do it for them.

There's nothing much wrong with viewing biased sources, in principle, so long as you do so openly and compare them against other sources with a critical eye.

The bitter truth I was pointing to is that CNN is no longer the antithesis to Fox News. Maybe it was for many people, but they should be aware that the network has been captured and skewed towards a new bias.

And on that note you are 100% correct with 5 extra credits

Think for yourself, question authority.

Didn't they get bought by some conservative dude? I forget the details.

Trying to fill in a gap in the market between Fox News and MSNBC, giving away their credibility to cater to delusional both-siders. The corpse of Wolf Blitzer's integrity is spinning in its grave with such velocity that a day lasts 20% longer. You might be thinking to yourself, physics doesn't work like that. Well, yeah, you're right.

[-] TWeaK@lemm.ee 3 points 8 months ago

Yeah exactly, and I forget the details as well lol. But ever since then, back when they first had Trump on a debate on their network with a crowd filled with his supporters, they have been staunchly pro-Trump.

“I would like to see CNN evolve back to the kind of journalism that it started with, and actually have journalists, which would be unique and refreshing,” he said. Then he suggested a model: “Fox News, in my opinion, has followed an interesting trajectory of trying to have ‘news’ news, I mean some actual journalism, embedded in a program schedule of all opinions.”

Malone’s comments didn’t resonate much beyond a couple of places: At Fox News, which responded with glee, and inside CNN, where they sounded alarm bells.

That's the asshole. Thanks for the reminder.

What is the deal with him and ice cream? Almost every other picture I see of him he’s eating ice cream

[-] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 13 points 8 months ago

Looking at the picture, it's the same ice cream eating Joe Biden. Maybe he's just at his best eating snacks? I know some people who do their best thinking while crunching food.

Imagine the next president insisting that he reviews documents on the pot because that's where he's most effective.

[-] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 15 points 8 months ago

Still better than the 3am shitter tweet storms from the last guy.

[-] PrettyLights@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

LBJ used to conduct bathroom meetings while on the toilet and insist his staff should come closer to him during the process.

His interview with Seth was pretty decent. You can tell he really just wants to call Trump "that mother fucker" in public haha. He asked him about Gaza and you can tell he's also super pissed about BB and credit where credit is due he did admit he calls himself a Zionist. Which yeah, I mean he's a really conservative president I respect him owning that tbh. The dude is super fucking old but just a little slow not diminished mentally imo.

He's just really gotta make a big shift on Israel. Like pull their aid all together.
