    This is what happens when MSM doesn’t cover actual news properly.

    Look at the protests. instead of showing the overwhelmingly peaceful protests as such, they focused on the relative handfull of assholes, who are probably false-flags to discredit the movement against trump anyways.

      Right. I can watch a restream of 15+ tiktok lives in the middle of the action, why would I watch fox news push narratives for 55min an hour, with a 5min clip of a burning car or someone spraying graffiti

      Dane here, and I’m pretty much in the same boat. I get my news on news websites though, not social media - and especially not from partisan sources like Joe Rogan. I want neutral sources that only report the facts, no opinions.

    Who would have thought that this would be the result of what happens when oligarchs buy up most major and even many local news outlets, run the same story on the front page of every news source, and censor edit the shit out of important news before burying it somewhere so that you have to literally go out of your way and dedicate a significant chunk of time searching for it. Staying as informed as I am able to has literally become my new very unfun “hobby.”

    I’m assuming they were hoping more people would just stop paying attention to what is happening and never ask any questions about why everything is so fucking awful all the time.
