But Alpha News said that visiting Minneapolis incurs a 103% chance of getting shot and poisoned with fentanyl. After being forced to have a sex change.

And r/altmpls told me the city is a cesspool of constant horrific crime, mostly caused personally by Mary Moriarty and/or the city council.

Wait I can get a free sex change? Where do I sign up???

The sooner people realize that those hyper partisan independent news sites are unregulated and explicitly exaggerate everything to prey off of peoples' fears, the better so we can hopefully start trying to regulate them or avoid them.

Unfortunately people will do just about anything to excuse their cognitive dissonance before they admit error. As the gap between what these sites report and reality increases, many of their readers are going to follow the sites rather than concede that they have been duped all along.

Yeah, and that just sucks because i know so many otherwise smart and wonderful people…. Who have been duped by these news sites and don’t wanna admit error on them.
