MODERATORS
When you so badly want to outrage others, you can find things to cause others to be so badly be outraged.
This meme is as bad as the “man in the street” interviews that only show you the side they want you to see.

EDIT: there’s tons of more articles just like this one.
Proceeds to show international news wires and international sources to show neutrality, thus steel manning the outrageous meme.
Edit: Find a NY Times or Washington Post next time to invalidate the meme.
SHUSH.

You asked me to show a NYT article, I did- and now you don’t like it.
My god this is so embarrassing for you.
One of them was really good. The Wash. Post article was great too. Thanks for taking the time.
ROFL! Not a single unbiased source among them. But it’s a good insight into where you get your programming from.
no such thing as an unbiased news source. if you think there is, they are fooling you.
So… now you’re going to children’s education sources? Are you 12?

Says the kid that whines about shit that he’s not even old enough to vote against.
Media Literacy is helpful at any age.
Manufacturing Consent, or better still Inventing Reality. A five-minute primer: Noam Chomsky - The 5 Filters of the Mass Media Machine
I may disagree with some of Chomsky’s views, but Manufacturing Consent should be read in every high school in America.
I think Chomsky & Parenti are intentionally kept out of the new, post-Trump media literacy curricula, because it would make people too literate. Just consider who was involved in crafting it.
