If full time Walmart employees need government assistance programs to afford food and pay their rent, is it not Walmart who is leaning on government assistance?

  • What's potentially more scary is that they garner this defeatism about human rights by way of the United States, so what does that mean for when America does the same thing? Obviously, American imperialism has a long violent history, but its wars have never specifically targeted women, children, aid workers, and journalists. If they did though, apparently they'd all be just as silent as they have been for our extension in the middle east.

  • Ironically, leftists are more in line with the constitution with our reasoning around gun ownership. In my book, anyone who isn't happy with the lax state of gun laws is equally an ally and we shouldn't draw lines in the sand for no reason. You can both own a gun and want it to be harder for people who shouldn't get them to get them, it's almost as silly as the "you criticize society and yet you participate in society" argument.

  • What do I do with a steady supply of styrofoam coolers?

  • May be worth running water over one just in case if you are interested in pursuing it. I was so confident that a Styrofoam container for my humira meds would hold water that I filled it up and started walking before realizing it was dripping all over me.

  • Depending on the density of the Styrofoam, it can be used as a rainfall simulator for a greenhouse. Water drips through some Styrofoam in a very random way.

  • It's both. You don't bite the hand that feeds you as hard as it might deserve to be bitten. Selection bias is the main thing I see in news. They wouldn't have that position long if they engaged in wrong-think or pointed the camera in the wrong class' direction.

  • It's pretty much impossible to find an article where the journalist treats the Russian soldiers as unknown or neutral parties and almost just as hard to find articles that give the full statements from the Kremlin without the implication being that it's not a proper explanatory statement given the situation. The reason is the statements filling the majority of the body are from western sources, which were more reputable in that instance.

    To your point on covering Israel, it would be in the interest of telling the story accurately to mention that journalists are vetted through the IDF and all footage is subject to that vetting as well as who is allowed in. The factual model you present breaks down when access is limited, both by the IDF killing journalists and by limiting the eyes on the ground journalists, their equipment, their film, and their employees at every level. If you control the opposition's ability to communicate reality, then you win under that model, but other news models like what Zeteo does mentions those things and the perspective is prioritized with the proper rarity and reputation that it actually has.

  • A Dark Money Group Is Secretly Funding High-Profile Democratic Influencers

  • “If I want to work with another politician, I have to fully collaborate with them,” said one creator who was offered the contract but ultimately declined to take it and asked not to be named. “If I get Zohran and he wants to [do an] interview with me, I don’t want to give that to them.”

    Creators in the program are not allowed to use any funds or resources that they receive as part of the program to make content that supports or opposes any political candidate or campaign without express authorization from Chorus in advance and in writing, per the contract.

    The fact that anyone signed these contracts really shows that it's not new media that's game-changing on the left, it's the politics themselves. Even if the line was more thought out than, "Pokémon go to the polls" it'd still be vapid coming from someone who doesn't speak to the issues or wants to means test and austerity check the assistance to death.

  • It would also be prudent to mention that Israel has a history of lying about this particular topic. They didn't have any issues making that claim attachment when Russia was encroaching on Crimea, and the Kremlin was denying it.

  • What you describe isn't how it always was. News have grown accustomed to skating by with nothing but police statements, for the most obvious example, to make very bold claims. The obsession with being early and the risk of bucking the system of power only to be proven wrong later has been crippling for media integrity.

  • "We don't just charge people criminally and then say, 'Oops, my bad,'" he said. "I'm at a loss how the U.S. Attorney's Office thought this was an appropriate charge in any court, let alone the federal court."

    But Pirro pushed back against Faruqui's comments.

    "This judge has a long history of bending over backwards to release dangerous felons in possession of firearms and on frequent occasions he has downplayed the seriousness of felons who possess illegal firearms and the danger they pose to our community," Pirro said in a statement to NPR. "The comments he made today are no different than those he makes in other cases involving dangerous criminals."

    Pirro should be disbarred for these statements. They have no attachment to the meaning of justice as the constitution presents it.

  • It's sickening how these outlets literally side with a government against their own innocent murdered workers. Some of them would literally side against their lived experience if they narrowly escaped and lived to talk about it. All for a country that perfectly personifies the term "cry-bully."
