Pretty rare to see an honest reveal on how much of a propaganda mouthpiece one of these big Western news agencies is.

Now if only people will remember this and not come down with Gell-Mann Amnesia the next time the free press is pushing people to hate a group or take sides in a conflict.

The thing about this is, it's not like CNN's coverage of this is different than that of the other Western media outlets, so presumably the same things are happening in every one of their newsrooms. They all did things like dehumanize the Palestinians by referring to their deaths in the passive voice.

Yet this is the same party attacking the left for being antisemitic, and the media never contextualizes their attacks with things like this or their Jewish space laser actual antisemitism.

I kinda wonder if it had been said the Russians are sending the Mexicans if people around here might have bought into it despite the ridiculousness.

In addition, prosecutors announced criminal charges related to the sale of the crude oil to buyers in China, Russia and Syria.

It's incredible how the United States can enforce its criminal laws against Iranians selling their property in China, Russia, and Syria.

It is extremely ironic that the right wing is the one that says stuff like "facts don't care about your feelings".

With them it's always projection.

For what it's worth, this whole thing is almost definitely not generated by AI. See https://arstechnica.com/ai/2024/01/did-an-ai-write-that-hour-long-george-carlin-special-im-not-convinced/

They're comedians claiming it's generated by AI as a kind of commentary and schtick. The creators directly compared it to the similar schtick of pro wrestling at one point.

Yes but that's hardly the entirely of Christian belief. What about the part about living until 900 before?

Well, I suppose one way to reconcile those things is that God created genetic diseases at that point to punish us for our sin.

I recall from previous coverage of this that there is a social network feature in the site where you can voluntarily share your info with friends and family.

So 14,000 accounts got accessed via reused passwords and then that gave them access to 7 million people's data because they chose previously to share info with those 14,000.

I find them baffling, what's their deal?

Is it like a religion for them or is there an actual religion?

How? How does a country take that much of a financial beating and still be thriving? Where is the point of being broke and not being able to fund a war anymore?

Not only that but I remember reading a lot of articles about how Russia was going to economically collapse as a result....almost two years ago.

Also a lot of articles about how weak Russia was militarily, how they lost all their troops and equipment already, how morale in their military was so poor the army was just going to run away at any moment, how one major asset after another was destroyed by the Ukrainians...for almost two years now.

Yet here they are still, not collapsed, not defeated. It probably is a good idea to take the media with a grain of salt and realize just because they're the so-called free press doesn't make them necessarily the truthful press.

Apple’s customers bought their iPhone knowing alternative stores are not available.

Your perspective seems to be to ignore the very existence of anti trust rules that stand for the proposition that even if the customer knows what they're getting in a free market capitalist transaction it can be illegal.

Can't your justification of Apple be used for every anti trust case? "AT&T’s customers bought their service knowing alternative rotary dial telephones manufactured by 3rd parties are not available."

Oh interesting never heard of that before. I still remember getting marked off for that kind of thing when they were teaching us Roman numerals in grade school.
