I'm all in on None, only because the way Trump is talking rn makes me think he's been let loose. I dont know if anyone but an adventurist is going to change Trump's mind.

Why would they admit that Biden was lucid but specifically on the one policy that he was infamous for waffling over to the point of it potentially costing his party the whole government.

Surely the "he was too sick to lead" excuse wouldve protected him but no, these freaks want us to know he personally killed every last child he could and he ENJOYED it.

don't think it's an industrial complex more than the natural self interest of western media companies wanting to dumb down any protest movement for its audience.

There's a lot at play, such as the general subconscious sexism that portrays women as meek and caring over the violent, selfish man. On average (talking out of my ass here) this means media will naturally bias towards using women in imagery portraying protests to evoke positive emotions, the same way we often see women being used to evoke something being a tragedy. Men may be used to make a protest seem scary or violent, or to make a tragic event look menacing - Just think of how we see women Vs men used in news articles about immigration/refugees!

There's also just the sex appeal. Young women with features appealing to white western audiences are going to be featured in protest photography more than the men. This bias is likely at every level - photographers will likely photograph women more, whilst editors will likely select women from that already biased selection of photos. It's compounding; Especially if these choices are actively biased rather than unconsciously so.

There are loads of interacting social forces behind what is filtered down and slapped on an article designed for clicks rather than any amount of deeper thought. You're more than likely picking up on one of the many ways we're fed a skewed version of reality from almost all fronts.

There was gunfire in Damascus too, no idea who between.

Assad is a fucking moron if he thought he could've let half of his share of Syria fall in a few days and not piss off people who just want the government to put up a fight.
