  1. Good that somebody pointed that out. An amazing number of the YouTube and social media brigade are in it to make a living. They all sell merch and they all promote it. In politics they target a particular audience (left, right, whatever) and will say whatever it takes to keep that audience PAYING or via YouTube earning money.

  2. That can also be read as "Pander to the whims of an angry mob and you can easily find an audience willing to listen to any absurdity."

  3. I don't know if you support these clowns or not but you are certainly on the right path. If you are going to target MSN (who are horrible) don't leave out FOX who are just as disgusting when it comes to lies and propaganda. The mainstream media on BOTH SIDES of pumping their opinions as fact for decades. It certainly goes back to before any of us were born.

  5.  @S3NTRY  That's a reasonably valid argument but when you consider how these people behave they're garbage. They aren't interested in any facts just pushing a narrative towards an audience that might pay them. In that they are no different to Murdoch, MSNBC, CNN or any of those multi-nationals. Its why their brainless supporters behave as they do.

  6.  @leskobrandon4518  Its arguably the biggest problem and threat to Western Society (across the board) even more than China's ambitions. We are being drowned in opinions to such an extent that its almost a full time effort to workout what the facts on any matter actually are. Plus all those opinions are coming from the specific ideological viewpoints of the presenters & producers or even worse the money. We now have chunks of our societies totally confused about what's real and what's not and they are being egged on by a rapid pack of money grubbing narcissists screaming "free speech" when ever they are questioned about what they promote. This can't end well.

  7. You are absolutely right that the main stream media have twisted stories to suit certain agendas and been doing it for decades. BUT DON'T wildly claim that these independent journalist don't do the same. SOME of them are truly disgusting narcissists who will twist any story and promote any lie for money, attention or both.
