re: Seriously, does anybody here watch the mainstream media?

You can pretty easily find out what is really going down by just finding a few non sponsored information sites on regular YouTube.
The problem is no one does this. Almost everyone I know who "hates the mainstream media" just seeks out news they agree with. They don't believe anything that doesn't come from Twitter or a news agency they agree with.
There are a lot of people who just see bias as something they don't agree with. Finding out what is actually going on takes way to much work than what people want to do.

People don't seek information. They seek affirmation.
And the media knows this. We are all susceptible to it. We all consume propaganda. We just consume our flavored propaganda.
Its why I keep it all at arms reach these days. None of it is worth the energy.

Balanced political commentary. There is a morning and afternoon session (8:30 and 5pm I think?). Streams live. Mark Halperin, Sean Spicer and Dan Turrentine. I've been watching them religiously this past year.

maybe you need to whine and lament more about how “no one knew any better during COVID. Common sense, what’s that?”
So if it was common sense are you saying Trump lacks common sense. Let me grab the link to that thread so you can see.

I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make here, Christopher, but you seem upset. I’ll try to clarify—and unlike you, I’ll keep it relatively concise.
There’s a difference between you and someone like Trump—who was under pressure from all sides during a global crisis to find a solution for the American people. And yes, some of his interest in finding a solution was about saving face ahead of the upcoming election at the time.
If you’re implying that I believe Trump is infallible, you’d be mistaken—again. Were all of his COVID decisions the right ones? Not even close.
But it’s still more respectable than your Brownshirt stance of suggesting the unvaccinated shouldn’t be treated in hospitals.
Do we really need to go over this again? My feelings and opinions about some of you acting like cowards during COVID haven’t changed, and they never will.

Well said
It’s why there is such a market for complete nonsense.
It’s also why I still post here.
can’t risk falling into an echo chamber
