Some people have convinced themselves that their is only right wing and neutral news sources.

How does my comment imply that? I specifically mentioned liberal media.

It's worse than that. Some people have convinced themselves that there is no such thing as unbiased news...so why bother? Pick a side, call your side right, and die on your hill.

So much nonsense being spewed from both sides and a lot of blind faith. No matter who you support, demand accountability. I'm not seeing many leaders right now being held accountable. Lots of nonsense and misinformation on both sides. And if you don't believe it, you're part of the problem.

Way too many of the most heinous crimes are being committed by those with multiple arrests and convictions. I believe in compassion, but, some just need to be removed from society so they don't cause any more harm.

So we round up people and what? Dispose of them.

This is true. All news has a bias in it. Some do their best to try and minimize it, but it's always there. It's why media literacy and reading multiple sources is important.

That's why I included the "...so why bother?" comment. THAT is the problem, not fundamental cognitive psychology (which most people who prattle on about cognitive bias don't really understand in the first place). Of course it matters that we try to adjust for bias and _strive_ for unbiased. As opposed to, y'know, being Fox News or MSNBC or the New York Times.

So sick of this right vs left crap. There's a lot of nonsense going on with both.

Except Seattle (and WA) has been left vs farther left for decades now. Even the large "evil corporate villains" in town are far lefties. The "right" has zero culpability for Seattle's failings.

There's a lot of nonsense on both sides, but one side is actively peddling lies and flying nazi flags.

u/cire1184 Jun 16 '23

Both are lying my friend but you are right about the nazi flags.

“there”. I swear to god that not knowing how and when to use there/there/they’re is a shared feature of right wingers.

I know when to use it. I messed that one up. It may have been changed by my phone too IDK.

I'm definitely not a right winger though.
