So I’m staying at a hotel with the family tonight, and it has cable, which we aren’t used to. We haven’t had cable tv since before they were even born.
Put a movie on last night. Think it was Toy Story (1) on Freeform. Was definitely freeform.
Anyways the kids fell asleep and after it was done, the “news” came on.
At least I thought it was the news.
And holy shit was their nose so far up Trump’s ass. I’m listening in the background while reading a book and I’m like “lie…lie…half truth…”. Then the sugary sweet pro-Israel rhetoric started.
Literally every third word was something I had already read something with a completely different, and frankly far more realistic, perspective.
I had no idea The 700 Club was still on, but the media bubble is absolutely real. And it’s thrown in front of you when you least expect it.
Ya know, I pay for a news app that many youtubers promote (and I won’t name for sake of not sounding like a shill, but I’m sure many have heard of it). It shows what the media bias is on any given story. As in, how many right-leaning, left-leaning, and centrist news agencies had picked it up.
And it’s incredibly telling, on any given day, seeing what one side picks up versus the other.
Here’s some of today’s list…
Like…honestly, most of the story isn’t even the content at this point, it’s who is reporting in it.
Just be aware that Media Bias Fact Checker tries to present itself as some institution with intense methodology but when you peel bask the mask it’s actually just one dude’s opinions.
Yes! I watched this regularly for many years, it’s an obscenity and unbelievably bat-shit crazy. Christianity has chosen the USA as the final battleground, it seems. The propaganda is off the charts, and think of it being repeated every Sunday in hundreds of thousands of churches filled with home-schooled Christian soldiers.
Dude I traveled to texas last year and drove between Houston, Austin, Dallas, and back to Houston.
It was one thing seeing a stadium sized church on the side of the highway. But then seeing a billboard like a quarter mile away advertising Epoch fucking Times as a reliable and trustworthy source.
I’m from the Northeast. That’s like…a whole different world. Except Austin. Austin was cool.

I’ve driven through Texas three times, and each time the cops have pulled me over and searched the car.
Were you…not…white… at the time?
Have you seen any particular news org that’s pretty balanced and shows most of the stories?
