Inode, When you speak of "algorithms", do you think the objectives are any better today than they were in 1960? WTF are you talking about? I'm saying that the objectives today are worse, not better. I already mentioned it in my post about The Algorithms. In the past, traditional media has to cater to a wider audience. They can't custom-tailor each individual's news feed. The NYTimes, for example, can't just publish articles that one reader prefers while publishing an entire different set of articles for another reader. You, of course, will disagree. You said it yourself ... Reality is that the media has been the far left lunatic fringe for decades. The media definitely had a left-wing tilt. I don't know about Walter Cronkite, but Dan Rather definitely was a liberal. But at least they held up some standards of objective truth. They had to, lest they end up being no better than The National Enquirer. (That's also why I was aghast at the mainstream media for spiking the John Edwards affair around 2006, because it was indeed The National Enquirer who initially broke the story.) Nowadays, you can "like, click, and subscribe" to any garbage media outlet you feel like, all thanks to The Algorithms. If you think that's necessary in order to combat what you view as the "left-wing monopoly on mainstream media," fine. Just don't expect me to stay silent while you echo some of the bat-shit craziest ideas to come out of the channels you obviously subscribe to. And don't expect me to take you seriously when you resort to gaslighting me. I know who I am, and I know what I believe in. I can call a spade a spade. You obviously can't. Tenchusatsu

Speaking of calling a spade a spade, Inode, I can't wait to see the mental gymnastics you pull off in order to justify Trump bailing out Argentina: Trump was questioned about sending $20 billion to Argentina instead of helping U.S. farmers (r/CringeTikToks) Trump basically ignored U.S. farmers and portrayed Argentina as a nation "fighting for its life." You know it's the tr00th because Trump had to repeat that line three times. He also believes Argentinians are dying. Again, you know it's the tr00th because Trump said so ... twice. Let me know how that fits into Trump's "America First" policy. I don't watch FOXNews, so maybe you can FOXsplain it for me ... Tenchusatsu
