RE: Election Mathematics

I just saw that last video after someone referred it to me. I heard the latest Radiolab that links to a paper on this and that links to the actual data so people can confirm it for themselves.

Trump has been gaslighting the USA for ages to build expectations of fraud that actually does not exist. If the system was that corrupt the Democrats would not have possibly lost the Senate. Of course the Republicans have their own dirty tricks to suppress votes that he is silent on.

He's also been against the media too as they report stuff that is inconvenient for him. He even turned against Fox when they found their conscience. Crazy times.

Just have to wait for all his cases to be thrown out. Most would not make enough difference anyway. He is stalling.

!BEER

Sort:  

Fox didn't find their conscience, they are just distancing to keep audience longterm. They don't care about Trump, they care about profits.

I'm sure they do, but, as I have said many times, journalists are people too with all their faults. A lot of people who have been standing up for Trump may abandon him when he loses power, but they will be judged on what they did and said, journalists included. He has done his best to discredit any media that doesn't suit him and some people bought into that. When ever I hear 'all media' or 'all politicians' I know some bullshit is coming :)

I think journalism hasn't been so great for a while now, as it is all about clicks. Clicks drive advertising revenue, which is the only way they can survive - and because of the way we are attracted to drama and celebrity, there is no reason to do much research to feed us.

Is that all journalism? Generalisation are usually wrong. What is the alternative? 'Citizen journalists' have a bias too and lack the resources to properly investigate some stories. You can't do everything from a basement lair :) You have to be selective in what news sources you trust and trust has to be earned.

Plenty of money to be made for both sides as they both equally pretend to know more than the other. Apparently AT&T wants to sell CNN though, and quick, because I'm sure they sense little value in constantly praising everything Biden does for four years. Hating Trump actually put them in debt but it was worth it, to those who benefitted.

I've been silently observing this circus. Far more entertainment in not taking sides.

The feed off drama like vampires - and now have the means to create their own. Media imitating art, creating life.
