BLM Donation Scandal

I think you’re conflating right leaning voters with people who consume right leaning news. I believe there are far less right wingers that watch the news, simply because we don’t like most of the news we see. Fox is a bunch of assholes that sometimes have a good point, but there isn’t much else out there to actually watch that is more accurate/less political.

I liken this to being conservative vs being republican. Fox is for sure republican in nature, but I don’t like republican values much more than I like liberal values (no offense). There is very little for conservative news that isn’t off the deep end, so most of us just try to go without. Doesn’t work too well some days though (speaking for myself).

Yikes. Fucking, yikes.

Life is far better just turning off the news, truly. No one is pedalling fear or hatred at you; you can just go talk to your neighbor, disagree on a MASSIVE scale, and be cool with them like it’s no issue.
Turn the news back on and you start looking at people who disagree as the enemy.

all MSM needs a fucking reset.

It’s not going to work. They’ve been unreasonable since the 1970’s. This is what and who they have always been. They used to cloak it in language. Now just just let the mask slip and I think it’s too late to put it back on. What we see now is what they have always been. AOC ain’t the first nut bag Patricia Schroeder was a doozy.

No. But I don’t watch any corporate news. They are corporate, but MSM refers to left wing media which is the plurality. I used to listen to NPR until they got so stupid it was intolerable. My last listen, they interviewed a playwrite. It was a black lady, apparently. The only thing I knew about the play was the name. The interview was all about her being a black female. That was the last straw for me. It was an insult to my meager intelligence.

Yup. Now ‘racist’ just means conservative or republican.

There are literally millions of sources. But it’s a pain in the ass because you have to cross reference everything. Raw video and actual on site information is the most accurate. Second, local news has actually become a really good source in many cases. Because they have to cover what going on in their towns even if it doesn’t fit the narrative. So you will see lots of clips from local news reporting on the issues MSM won’t touch.

You got it backwards dude. The MSM has provable lied all the time. They lie every day. And I am guessing that’s where you get your info because you seem so unbelievably hoodwinked. And sadly you believe them. What you don’t realize, as a result, is you are in a very small minority of people who has any faith in MSM news. Trust in news is in the aggregate is around 29%.

Which means you are consuming news the plurality has turned off. I am sure you don’t know the multiple scandals surrounding CNN. The now 3 child molesters who where arrested and charged for sexual crimes against minors. And then comes Zucker, who was forced out, not because he was banging the COO, but because his involvement in the Cuomo scandal. Which more is coming out every day. Hell, even The Hill is reporting this and they are lefty too. CNN cannot break a million views all day anymore.
MSNBC isn’t fairing much better. Fox betters them combined. And I don’t watch any corporate news, but I pay attention to the ratings.
There are tons of resources. You just have to put in a modicum of effort. You can go directly to the source in many cases.

Yeah, sure. Ignorance is bliss. And I can only take so much. But I consider it important to be informed, because not knowing the horrible shit that’s going on is more dangerous. Like the biden admin confiscating over a billion gun transactions seized from gun stores in a massive sweep, to build a database. The government, the FBI acquiring unprecedented surveillance capabilities in the form of software called Pegasus. It can turn on the microphone and camera of any device that has them, even when they are off, as long as the battery is in, anywhere in the country without the owner being the wiser. The owner wouldn’t even see it on his IP tracking.
I am all for turning on and tuning out for periods of time. But if we don’t know our rights are being trampled, we don’t know when we need to stand up and fight.
Remember, the GOVERNMENT shut down churches? The very first thing in the the 1rst amendment is freedom of religion and that right is absolute, under covid, under ebola, that right cannot be trampled and it was. We have to pay some attention. Take breaks, but pay attention. You never know when your name is up.
Hell, there is a fair chance we are tracked here. I wouldn’t be surprised. Even T-nation would know about it, if it were happening.
We do need to fear our government, so we know when it’s time to make the government fear us.

I can’t go with this narrative of ‘both sides are bad’. I think that’s a cop out. Sorry. Because it’s always true to some point. There is one metric I go by; does what is reported resemble the truth. And when I look at Fox’s website for instance, I can go and verify, at the source whether or not its true. And yes they get a lot wrong, but they just do not simply lie like CNN, MSNBC, NY Times, WaPo, ABC, NBC, CBS. For all the faults Fox has, I haven’t seen them print overt lies, like CNN has. They never accused Rogan of eating horse paste. After 3.5 years of lies about Russia, I cannot believe anybody wastes their time with them after that. Well, they did lose a metric shit ton of their audience after that, but still shills and useful idiots remain.
My metric is the truth.

I thought only the left changed what words mean.

A BLM activist tried to assassinate a democrat Kentucky mayor. The fall is coming. We are in it bad…

For contrast:

lol, he was a gun control advocate

I mean, his actions prove his point I guess. A man with a history of mental health issues was able to procur a gun and shoot at someone. Not selling firearms to folks with serious mental health issues seems like common sense.

I would assume it was bought legally as he was found with the handgun in it’s case with extra mags and ammo. Doesn’t sound like a black market purchase, but it could have been.

I don’t believe he had any reported mental health issues, neither the article nor a brief google search turned up anything about this; feel free to share if you know something I don’t.

“Brown was an MLK Scholar at U of L and is the founder of From Fields to Arena, a group committed to providing political education and violence prevention training to youths engaged in hip-hop and athletics.”
He was educated and active in his community… To me, this doesn’t scream “mental health issues”. No comment on his motive though.

Agree

He disappeared last summer but was found safe July 1 after being missing about two weeks.

In a statement after he was found, his family said: "We are asking for privacy and would appreciate everyone’s patience and support while we tend to the most immediate need, which is Quintez’s physical, mental and spiritual needs.

First posted article. You literally posted the paragraph immediately following the above text.

Yes, but if he wasn’t seen by any mental health professional at that time - it is not legally constituted as a ‘mental health crisis’. this would have been proving the point you were mentioning.

This period he was missing also immediately followed the Breonna Taylor incident. Not making a point of this, just providing context that may be useful.

Where does it say he had mental health issues? And millions of people procure guns and don’t manage to murder anybody. It’s a false frame.
And the fact that he didn’t murder anybody was sheer dumb luck that he was a bad shot.

Everybody has mental physical and spiritual needs. No mention of him being diagnosed as mentally ill. How about he’s just a racist asshole?

Where is the outcry for the Asian women that are being attacked, beaten or murdered

And most of these crimes are being commited by black men and they are not using firearms

Google cnn asians attacked and there are a lot of stories.

Where I live, I see a ton of yard signs that say “stop asian hate”. Not that it really accomplishes anything, but how many of those signs do you see in your community?

Zero…because in my community if a crime is commited you go to jail

Nothing compared to when a bad cop kills a black person, or when a black person is killed by a white person

Where are the marches down pennsylvania avenue, how come we are not seeing ASIAN LIVES MATTER being painted on the streets

how come Sharpton, Jackson, Lebron James or Kaepernick are not kneeling for the asians

you don’t because it doesn’t fit the narrative

Ask an Asian.

FWIW, that’s just not true. DAs are always declining to prosecute, and pleading down charges. Even in your area, no matter how much you’d like to believe otherwise.
