@denniskoch of course you have the right to distract and say crazy things The 1st amendment does protect that speech. The government does not have the right to determine what news is or how it is reported, nor can it squash news that is unflattering to itself or other entities. Still, I feel like our constitutional rights are being violated because we have incredibly free access to information, but that info is preventing all of us from fulfilling the promise of the constitution.
@denniskoch add in the big money from sponsors, corporate owners and they lose so much credibility. Network news used to operate at a loss in order to keep the news untainted by special interest. If this country keeps treating news as a platform for all 1st amendment protected speech, then we are fucked. The 1st amendment is about the right for people to speak truth to power, not the right to distract from the scandals of the powerful, or the right to yell fire in a crowded movie theater.
@denniskoch I hate the media so much. I want to travel back in time and slap everyone who thought that repealing equal time provisions for news broadcasters was a good idea. Oh yeah everyone who supported the Telecommunications Act of 1996..shame!

I guess this kind of cognitive dissonance isn't anything new, but it's disquieting to see it happening instead of reading about it in a history book.
*important things happening*
Powerful Person: nothing to see here
Media: But it really looks like something is to be seen over there
PP: Nah uh! Look over there! Zuck just launched a birdsite clone that utilizes his existing user base from his Meta properties.
Media: oooh neat! But what about exaggerated numbers from the user base?
PP: Huh? Hey look at this shiny lawsuit filed by Elon. Go! Catch!
@realTuckFrumper I work in that industry, and in Florida. Fuck DeSantis with a piece of PVC pipe with the drape still attached. Better yet, fuck Ron DeSantis with a 10 ft Octanorm cross bar, and follow that up with a bundle of rebar. Any tradeshow designers, project managers, audio engineers or on site union laborers on here? Spew your vitriol now!
@StillIRise1963 yeah, sure. The KKK totally wasn't targeting black, successful business owners for their skin color. Fuck this this ignoramus.
@DukeDuke I know what you're watching tonight!
THE Social Network
The Good, The Bad, and The Underworld
Land of the Lost Boys

@RickiTarr hey, so I was inspired by your reverse anthem post. I decided to test chatGPT on another song. Pre-emptive apologies are due. My instance limits my characters to 500, so I have to post a link. I asked ChatGPT to write the opposite to the lyrics for "So Horny" by 2 Live Crew and this is what I got. It should be theme song for whatever the Duggar Family does next.

@flexghost he doesn't matter, but he does have reach. I'm not sure how a sentient roll-on deodorant became a thought leader for the right, but here we are.
@flexghost so, Tim Poole is very happy(?) that pornhub won't be serving the great state of Virginia anymore. Reason? The poor kids have to be shielded. Because according to Mr. Poole "...if you (sic) tweet porn, as many people do, I view that as the exact same thing as taking a big sign of a porn picture and sticking it in the ground." Hmm. Interesting. I wonder how he feels about Hunter's naughty bits being dumped on the internet by people in his conservative bubble?
@staidwinnow @Alice Armed and Dangerous is one the best, most underrated comedies ever
