Pet Peeves! đŸ˜±

Especially the ones that aren’t even close to being worth paying for. I mean, CIA I mean AP is still free & that’s mostly all they regurgitate in the US.

I tend to read AP and the BBC news, as much as possible avoiding ‘biased’ networks.

Oh, they got agendas too. Beebs has become infotainment & propaganda, IMO. AP always was. :smirk:

News is illegal now I guess. :laughing:

Sadly enough, I’ve actually started to get used to the fact that it’s impossible to get unbiased news - unless you count reading all the biased news and personally stripping out the bias and strawman arguments, since both sides are full of shit and the only reporters who get paid anymore are the ones catering to one side or the other. Everyone else gets cancelled.

If you wish to read the news this is what you must do.

It doesn’t exist to inform you it exists to sell you stuff.

I have a favourite left wing rag and a favourite right wing rag.

Perhaps so, though it is a different lens than one on this side of the pond and at the least they may add their slant but at least seem to try to report the facts.

i found two sites that present the biases in the news stories pretty well. here. and here. i checked a couple of stories when i first started using them a year ago but haven’t since then. i hope they’re not too biased.

It’s important to have the illusion of choice.

Small rant after reading some of your pet peeves

I worked at a company where the owner, during a bday celebration in the kitchen/breakroom with most of the office employees, made a comment out of nowhere(it was directed at me but had no context to bring up) that he doesn’t like gays(“I dont like gays”). No one said anything after so he followed it up with “gays make me uncomfortable”. I broke the silence with a loud guffaw.

After I joined that company I was informed when the owner saw me he would require me to cut my hair as he did all other men who had long hair. I laughed and let them know i would tell him to go fuck himself if he were to.
Apparently he thought I was gay because I have long hair as did most of the other people there that didn’t talk to me.
It was clear I made him uncomfortable so I would try to engage conversation as much as possible. I’m glad I did and that many of his employees are stealing and screwing over the company.

It’s another news aggregator, but this one wants my e-mail address. :man_shrugging: AllSides doesn’t, and specifically provides both biased viewpoints as well as the most neutral they can find. I actually like that sometimes, it helps me get a more comprehensive look at things. It’s still not actually unbiased news, though. Just makes it easier to navigate the BS.

Why do my garbage bags have a fresh linen scent impregnated into them? Is it supposed to cover up the rotting fish that’s in the can from last night?

They make my fingers smell like the garbage room odour absorbers.

I’d rather smell dirty old fish.
