Dude... It's not just one network. Perhaps you are unaware with the NBC, Washington Post and CNN settlements to Nick Sandmann. Or the defamation settlement by ABC to Donald Trump. Or the CBS alteration of the Kamala Harris' gibberish interview followed by a lawsuit. CBS is trying to settle with a lowball offer and their enablers are jumping ship. Just to be fair, look at Fox News' settlement to Dominion. Even Karine Jean-Pierre wrote a book on the Biden denials that were true. And apparently she was working on that book while still acting as press secretary.

These are all irrespective of the years and years of other repeated lies and calls to ignore our own eyes and ears. This is why the mainstream media is losing out to social media. It might be time to exit that smug bubble.

Comment Re:Why Is Brave Not More Popular (Score 1) 239

Brave killed FF for me and everyone I know. I suspect it's because of the scammy-crypto elements. I was nervous that it was a "cheap" Chrome clone...since the seamless Chrome looks is it's supposed to look like. I tried FF again last year and uninstalled again. I have to use Chrome for testing and specific sites that are too bound up in elements detected to be adtech. It's too much trouble to maintain disparate browser envs. - posted from Brave

The problem you miss is that some of us would rather not even pay for the addled video. Prime didn't change its fee when they added video, so give me a video-free alternative at a lower price. I resent paying for something I don't use.

They raised my fee. And kept raising it. That's why I cancelled. I have no desire to pay extra for video I don't watch, Music I don't listen to or whatever else "free" media they want to bundle into my price.

Comment Re:Biden's Cyber Policies? (Score 2) 109

> You got anything besides mindless propaganda?

I don't believe it's propaganda, but it's not surprising that you leap to the least gracious interpretation.

> Biden had no policies. Biden was a zombie. His handlers and the autopen ran the Whitehouse.

A worldview that I can understand. Biden was barely functioning, which is a form of being compromised since he lost large amounts of time. Trump is eerily similar, where I am sure he is running things under various blackmailed conditions *at best* paired with a lesser mental dysfunction. This is a different type of kompromat, but his policies are not fully his, all the same. One deception does not excuse another and focusing on this nonsense is a distraction born of tribalism.

Biden's policies (regardless of origin) were certainly better formulated than anything TACO has come up with or the absence of them. THAT is what's important. It's a net loss.

Comment Attack the source not the message (Score 0) 40

Noted nutcase AmiMoJo refuses to admit he was wrong, even though NBC News and the San Antonio Police Department both admit they were duped by Joss's transsexual "husband". Matt Walsh lays out all the receipts from credible news organizations, including videos of Joss and his neighbors, but AniMoJo puts his fingers in his ears and screams, "La La La La La". If he is representative, it's no wonder why the UK has become a clown show.

Comment Re:John Redcorn (Score 1, Informative) 40

If you haven’t heard, the voice actor for John Redcorn was murdered last week by a homophobe. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/a...

Informative? +4? Jesus. Misinformation, maybe...

I'll see your NBC News link and raise you one NBC News link. You can't hate the mainstream media enough for jumping to publish this kind of uncorroborated hearsay gossip posing as news. Do you see why we don't trust the MSM anymore?

Matt Walsh has a more in-depth and researched report if you are interested in the real story behind the story.

Comment Re:The old Doctor who (Score 1) 77

Was written by some of the best sci-fi writers and script writers out there.

When was this? In the shows I remember, the only thing worse than the "special effects" was the plots.

That's what I remember too. I recall thinking they would have to work hard just to be on par with Lost in Space. The Sci part of their Sci-Fi seemed to be in short supply. I never could summon enough interest to try later attempts.

Comment Re:Not relevant (Score 1) 133

You begin by leading by example, not hypocrisy. When I am lectured by anyone whose carbon footprint is many orders of magnitude greater than my own about how I need to ride my bicycle to the grocery to save the planet while they fly in private jets for the lecture, they can kiss they darkest part between my ass cheeks. At least Greta understood this during her 15 minutes. John Kerry, Bill Gates and all the "Rules for thee, not for me" bunch need to put up or shut up.

Comment Re:Not relevant (Score 2) 133

And the whole "private jets" and Bill Gates is a bad faith distraction used as a punching bag excuse as to why we can't do anything about the issue until we deal with those "dirty liberal elites" first, an argument straight from the playbook of other end of the "wealthy, powerful" interests. You can claim climate science is a distraction but this a bad faith distraction with malicious intent. And we know they are malicious liars because they stand in the way of any regulations that would curb that behavior like a carbon tax or restrictions on small plane use or fucking anything.

The priests and the prophets shall not be held accountable for their sins for they are The Anointed and the True Believers. Yea, though the salt of the Earth shall all bow before the Carbon God and give sacrifice to receive redemption and salvation for everlasting virtue.

F1TV isn't available in my country. I still subscribe to it and pay for it using a VPN.

So you openly admit you violate copyright protections by concealing yourself with a VPN. When F1TV discovers you and cancels your account, who will you virtue signal to then? You are no different legally than the "pirates" who PAY for IPTV other than in your own mind.

Comment Re:Duh! (Score 1) 68

"AI", scientifically, is an umbrella term used to encompass multiple fields including LLMs.

Even if the usage were consistent, if the term is misleading then it should be changed. Is language there to work for us, or are we there to work for it?

Yeah! And don't get me started on "endless" salad bars and "never ending" stories.

Language isn't precise. It never has been and isn't supposed to be.
