I really wish the media would stop enabling their firehose-of-shit approach. They constantly do and say awful things, that is their MO. Stop letting them control the narrative, you hacks.
What do you propose? This IS news, especially since it's stupid.
Tylenol autism blah, click here for a current list of scandals?
I agree with you, but I'm not sure how to handle it.
I don't need to propose a solution. I mean, I'd love to if it was my area of expertise, but it's not. There's plenty of areas I could do more than point out a problem in but there's people with a lot more education and experience in this area that would be better suited.
That said, I'd prioritise other news. This kind of crap would not be given the top spots on news pages. It's giving them exactly what they want and feeding into their strategy. There's other important stuff happening every day across the world. There's stuff the US nutjobs do that aren't part of this "firehose of shit" (such as stuff related to European geopolitics vis à vis the Russian invasion of Ukraine and surrounding events) which I feel it's entirely reasonable to report on (even if it's just the US president agreeing with whoever flattered/bribed him last). I would not consider "the US government spouting misinformation about paracetamol" to fall into that category.
Amusingly BBC Radio 1 used my words about this story on their midday news to juxtapose it with stuff that actually is news, which was kinda funny.
So what about them Epstein files?
They cause turbo-autism, so they buried them. For your safety.
My parents already are full believers
I'm sorry for your loss
What I wanna know is what Tylenol did to piss off Trump.
I really hope this will encourage the billionaire shareholders of Johnson & Johnson to put a hit out on Trump.
