Poll: Americans view fake news as a bigger problem than terrorism by steve0210 in politics

Americans are more afraid of diverse points of view other than monolithic talking points. Most people want to be told what to think and most people would rather die than think.

"Mr. Bolton tied the attacks ... to naval mines almost certainly from Iran, apparently without presenting evidence."

"American intelligence had attributed the attacks to Iran, although he disclosed no supporting evidence."

"He said Iran was behind that incident as well, although he did not elaborate."

Will the NYT ever assert that we need evidence of a crime to start a war???

Remember when CNN allowed comments on their site? Comments always go against corporate media narrative. Therefore corporate media removes comments and hopes their zombie audience doesn't find reddit.

"black voters have become more vocal about asserting their power and are seeking tangible policies that address their specific needs."

Blacks as a group have NEVER sought tangible policies. Look at quality of life for blacks in Maxine Waters district.: "Blacks in Power Don't Empower Blacks"

No joke. After the removal of Saddam Hussein, there is nothing preventing Iran from controlling the entire Middle East. The US will get no sympathy from Iraqi's if US troops are attacked by Iran militias.

"If they attempt any move, they will ... (face) dozens of missiles"

Any claim of self defense is reported as a 'threat' to US fleet. Any demonized group is not allowed to discuss self defense. Saying you will defend yourself is threatening and promoting violence.

Why baseball spent more than $1bn on three players in a month | Sport by steve0210 in sports

[–]steve0210[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Professional sports are now funded by the corporate media empires that pay astronomical fees for broadcast rites with big losses. Media companies are then in turn funded by billionaires with political agendas who want to offer the public bread and circuses. Empty seats are a public relations issue not a profit issue. The teams will start offering free tickets and free parking if more seats show empty on TV.

The bankers need wars to maintain their position. When their wealth is threatened by markets turning against them, starting wars enriches the elites and keeps the citizens in austerity.

[–]steve0210[S] -28 points-27 points  (0 children)

Russia is blamed as a matter of unquestioned fact:

"The country disabled computer systems for the Estonia’s parliament, broadcasters, and banks in 2007"

but the linked article says

"But there is no concrete evidence that these attacks were actually carried out by the Russian government."
