American textcees, do you believe that we have a reliable news source in our country?
 

this question was asked by Objective in another thread and I thought it was pretty interesting. what say yee?

poll request if possible

My honest opinion is no.

I think the news and what is taught in schools
Are examples of what they wnat u to know.

The real truth about it all is hidden.

this is gonna be good

Where does this go?
I mean if you find that your being brainwashed, fed info...
So okay, now what?
Whats the next step?

first we establish in regards to popular opinion or majority rule if we infact believe our domestic news agencies are reliable or non reliable. Then we can go from there

I feel like if u didnt let this consume u that ud have sum time to actually enjoy life, instead worrying about this bullshit that doesnt affect u anyway.

Do you mean like rally up a rebellion...
Are we gonna overthrow the upperclasses?
...
I just mean what are you gonna even do with evidence in
a world which just flat faced denies it to ya face?
...
half the world in sitting in their tv chairs saying "what really happened
with 9-11? Who really killed JFK? No answers arrive..

No we don't. I'll let you bastards argue about it though.

@ Bags, it's a simple question I was interested in knowing what others opinions were. If it's that hard to answer the question and blatantly sidestep it to put more energy into attacking the person asking it, must mean you feel a type of way about the answer.

@ Dystopian, jesus you too? lol yay or nay answer the question, I didn't even say what my answer was sheesh

I ask a simple fucking question, thats how you know you go along to get along ass niggas got your feathers ruffled because someone is tryna fuck up your day to day program of bullshit with what..........a simple fucking question ? lol

he speaks....
 

you're dumb as shit dude and just because I stop and ask a question doesn't mean I don't enjoy my life.


EDIT: thats the mentality of the go along to get along person, "why do you ask questions, why can't you just let things be" fuck you I'm an independant intellect, my curiousity doesn't get thwarted because of the social insecurity complex some of you fuckers suffer from called majority opinion. If I'm curious, guess what I'm gonna fucking ask. Deal with it or don't nigga

Im not American, but I belong to the Commonwealth and are aliies in war, plus enjoy all the 1st world benefits.. do I think the news lies to me?..
..
I know it isn't, and have no faith in it, but papers are good for the crosswords.

he speaks....
 

nigga.....a simple yes or no is all thats needed, I think you barely said no or something lol

One single reliable news source? no. there is no single reliable news source anywhere on earth.

what the fluck dude, I didn't even say single. Smh man either you niggas are dumb or I'm going crazy. 2 people clearly answered. When do the sane niggas log on here?

Its a fact that certain things are not taught.

And certain things are not reported.

Example

Couple years a white girl about 14 went missing for a couple months.
Long story short they found her ..made a huge fuckimg deal about it
News coverage up the wazu...all because the stupid cracker decided
To side with her kidnappers...

Around the same time a 4 year old black girl went missing.
Escaped her captured..call tge cops and was homr in a couple days
After being kidnapped...

No news coverage at all...at all.

The news is bias..information is controlled.

Exactly Split. Everyone's got an agenda everywhere. I take all information I see, hear, or read and make my own opinion on it.

oh thats what Split meant? lol I read it the wrong way


@ innovator, reminds me of a Dave Chappelle standup, Elizabeth Smart but I'm talking about reliability, meaning you can count on it, it's true, etc. There are many things that get left unreported no doubt, some on purpose but I'm talking from the aspect of reliability.

Chyeah: your Q is biased to Americans.
This site actually has a lot of international heads
keep in mind

Well the news is suppose to give you the truth..reporters ae meant
To report thw truth as it reveals itself.

So if something s arent taught and some things arw not reported.
Then the news isnt reliable at all.

I know, I mean it's nothing against you great foreigners if you want to answer, but I was speaking to us in the U.S. What country are you in Dystopian? and any other board members on here from there that wanna answer based on where you live feel free.

lmfao don't get riled son. tenses are tenses. discussions are discussions.


I believe you can get an accurate view of the domestic situation by looking at multiple domestic news sources, beginning with first hand sources such as individual journalists, going up to local news sources, going up to news aggragates such as Daily Beast, including opinionated news sources such as CNN and Fox etc

I think that "what the media wants you to know" doesn't exist. I believe that the particular facts brought to light and opinions cast on a story (biases) can be compensated for by viewing multiple biased views on the same story. much like scientific observation, you cannot directly observe phenomena as someone in society, you can only measure it to within a certain degree of certainty. that degree of certainty is less like standard error and more like probability, you think something will happen within a certain range but theres always the chance it'll lie outside of that too

basically, i think there is abundant variety and quantity of domestic news to call our news reliable, you just have to discern it

he speaks....
 

yo I agree and disagree. The reporters report the news as it is given to them, they don't have time to make judgemental or personal remarks on what they're reporting on, they don't even have time to see if it's true or not

Well Im in Austraila as is: Cereal Killa, Dominate, Massai, probably more.. sorry to disturb if it was a USA chat, I'll keep out in future.

nah nah fluck it, let it ride. Shit is global now lol. Objective had asked initially if we in the U.S had reliable news sources, but it would be interesting to see if people in other parts of the world think they do or don't

I reckon your a bit 'Murican' there Chyeah, a bit US, stands for us.
Theres more continents on the globe mate! check an atlas.

Dystopian I honestly don't understand what you're even talking about lol.
But yes reporters report whatever they're assigned to report. Sport writers write about sports, political writers write about politics, etc. What they write is their first hand account and opinions and these papers get sent to an editor and judged. To be honest they have to write what the editor wants if they want to keep a job. That's why you gotta do what Split says take different reports from different sources and compare them. It's the only reliable way to get information anymore.

Thats the problem tho...not enough people willing tp take a risk for the
Truth.

he speaks....
 

yep, not to mention get foreign outlet takes on the news reports in question for comparative purposes

he speaks....
 

gary webb, Danny Casolaro,David Williams, I mean there have been countless people who have put there lives and reputations on the line to get some truth out

he speaks....
 

I opened it up man, what more do yah want lol

WTF? Your sayin hey this is an American pole on a global website,,
like your saying "Hey, Fellow Yankees what YOU think of this? don't care about anyone else.
I respected you a few weeks ago.. your just a fuckwit to me now.

I still can't understand anything you're saying.

dude I still have not a clue wtfluck you're talking about but whatever lol. I don't think you're understanding me and I'm not understanding you so it's cool

Well, Theres schools that teach education.. try checkin one out

Says the guy who misspelled poll lmao

That's was my phone homo, Id rather the the person that misspelt it than misplaced it

....damn man can't we all just get along lol

I'd rather the the person too.

Of course I don't know why this got hot-headed..
I'm just saying that misinformation from the media is not USA-centric,
and exists in all the 1st world media, but it came across as biggotted
stating that you were only appealing to Americans in the OP thread.
...
But Buddah smells faggots undies

lol Dude you're whining because a thread made by an American asks other Americans their opinions about the media? What a faggot
