The news has turned into a sick joke

Not me sitting here belly laughing at the fact that people like CNN and major news outlets are just now waking up to this new apathetic reality that’s finally starting to shift into focus, while we as a people have been suffocating under the thumb of corporations, governments and rich fucks that are incapable of seeing anyone as more than a number or an opportunity for more profit, they choose to see the retaliation as “animalistic” or a “hate crime”

If you are suffering under corporations, it's because you have chosen to do so out of a choice to live a life of drama-fueled grievance. Try using the news as an information source instead of expecting it to do all the work for you and then complaining about it not meeting your needs. You have been given all the tools, It's a gift. Act like you are deserving of it instead of exhibiting the behaviour of a proud victim.

@MarkPaul my whole point is the news is an unreliable propaganda machine and that fact has been proven countless times. And i highly disagree, choice is 100% an illusion when people only give the right tools to people when they know it’ll benefit them even though everyone should have a right to them by default.

@GrazedByTheVoid Yeah, I get your point without needing an explanation. But, the problem with your point is you are misusing and abusing the news. You want to be spoon-fed information that you can literally take to the bank, but that isn't the purpose, scope, or point of the news. Like any information from anywhere, you need to think about what you are being told and apply logic, good hard reasoning, and critical thinking. You need to do the work.

Unless you are living in the time of the telegraph and have somehow found a portal into modern times, you have access to all the tools you need. For ease, let's call it the Internet. Let me know if you need help using it.
