  • I never stated there wasn’t a scale of bias. Nor did I mix them all into a single pot. Now did I say everything is a bad as fix news. Nor did I say you can’t trust anything. I agree with all of what you just said.

    What I said was that there is no such thing as objectivity. It is impossible for a multitude of factors. The best we can achieve is an attempt at balance. And because of that you should never get your news from a single source.

    How is that “propaganda” and “nonsense?”

  • the problem is who has money to buy a newspaper.”

    Yes. That is what I was referring to.

  • Reading through the comments I am curious… why do people think somebody gets into the news business, especially today? One doesn’t become a media tycoon for reporting objective news. They never have. They never will. They get into the business to control the message. Why is anybody surprised by this?

    I read the times. Does it have bias? Yes. Literally impossible for any journal to not have bias. Objectivity is a myth. I think it’s more important to be able to see where that bias is, and then seek a counter balance to it.

    Don’t read a single source. Otherwise you’re just another Fox News viewer.

  • While I don’t necessarily disagree with either of your points, neither of them have anything to do with what I was responding to.

  • I read the times nearly every day. Not sure what you mean by this. Can you expand? I find their reporting on trump to be pretty real. Their interview with John Kelly straight up calling trump a fascist is pretty damning. So…

  • Lol ok.

  • Sounds like you don’t have much left to say and can’t back up your point, so you get personal.

  • I don’t understand your argument. Wall street was designed so that you and i could own actual shares in companies. Companies which produce goods and/or services. What is the backing value of bitcoin other than others possibly wanting bitcoin? What backs it other than demand?

    I have owned crypto. I have made a lot of money off crypto. But to think it is safer than traditional investing i think is a bit naive. It’s, so far, a supposed solution looking for a problem.

  • In the short term, sure. In the long term the S&P 500 averages 8%/year for 100 years. I would argue that is a much, much smaller gamble.

  • Take your free money and put into something with real, actual backing value. Ignore the gambler side - it’s just the devil on your shoulder. This is free money. Let it work for you over the next couple decades.

  • Bonus: can also be applied to boomers.

  • More? 22 brands released EVs last year alone. There are a LOT of options out there, with more to come. Apple would have been like, the 4,000th entrant in this market.

  • This is not bank debt. It’s the sum of his civil fraud trial and EJ Carroll trials. Trump owes nearly 500M is penalties. So i would say this is his problem.

  • Emigration is really hard, both emotionally and financially, regardless of where you live.

  • “If someone spoke to you the way you do to you, i’d put their teeth through. Love yourself!”
