In this day of fake news and hyper partisanship and late stage propaganda(remember; propaganda is not necessarily fake news or inherently false/untrue, and in fact the best and most effective propaganda is true), I'm just curious as to what everyone's political leanings are, and not based on self labels, but based on sites you frequent/trust or media you consume and who thinks what is trustworthy or garbage etc.
Maybe just list 3 you think is good(and maybe give reasons and/or one example for context since one persons trash might be anothers treasure, and I don't wanna be biased even though I lean progressive as most probably knows), and also try list 3 of the worst that are also as big and influential as they are garbage(in your mind, and also give reason or one example for context).
Also in this day and age of individual commentators/social media/podcast etc etc, do the same as above(3 good 3 bad), but for individuals. Example, like milo, Shapiro, Peterson, Harris, Rogan etc etc. who do you respect and who is a hack?
Or even list ones you think is garbage, but you frequently it anyway just to see what others views are to certain topics or to see how they spin it etc, since smart people will educate themselves on common talking points and use it to debate vs themselves so they are prepared for any future debates vs people from that side. Basically spying on the "other side" if you want to see it like that, but I'd rather see it just as different opinion and we're all on the same side, humanities side. Like I disagree with my parents on heaps of shit but we're "on the same side". I don't see why we can't think of everyone like that, even political opposites, which my parents are lol.
If you don't use any one site and use aggregates(like reddit, or even talk shows on YouTube who report on stories from all sides, like they use fox/wapo articles, whatever etc) say it too but I'm sure you also have your opinions on what is good and what is garbage etc, like you see some link on reddit and you know it's good or you know it's rubbish and just clickbait and just scroll past it
This should be interesting, and also hopefully helpful to find new/different/good sources and to know what to stay away from.
I will post mine last as to not affect or bias this thread. I wish there was some function that doesn't let people view others posts/lists until they post their own so there's no inevitable echo chamber shit since even though i don't care what others think, Imo most people do.
One thing I will say though to start things off.
And that is that Colbert is now an establishment hack(or rather he has been for as long as he has been host of late show). Of the biggest kind. I think maybe even Tucker Carlson has more credibility and freedom than him now lmao.or at least from the few clips of what I've seen of tucker, he at least can say shit that goes against his network/party/demographic, while I haven't seen colbert do it even once..
If you see his recent interview with Tulsi Gabbard, you'll see why instantly. But that's just one of many many things he's done since taking over late show to make me 100% sure he's a sold out hack now.
Ok go! This should be fun, interesting and hopefully informative at the same time.
