Common Sense 316 - The Day of the Dove

Investigative journalism?
I've heard of that. Is that like when Richard Madcow gets a hold of two pages of Trump's tax return only to reveal that he paid a higher rate than Obama and Saunders? Is that what investigative journalism is?

Yeah, the dinosaur media's got it going on.

The best new media could do was...

WIKILEAKS!

I don't get how Dan can still be so stuck in the old media landscape. He only quotes from the the old "respectable" press and routinely dismisses new media actors. It's like having someone reviewing steam engines after everyone's switched to internal combustion.
I guess that's where the declining relevance comes from.

You're exactly right.
Dan might've hopped aboard the "New Media" a while back, but that ship has already put to port. And it's not like a bunch of youngsters have taken the reins either: the newer podcasters and youtubers sometimes do thrice daily shows--tweeting around the clock and around the world--and sleep as frequently as Trump. There's no such thing as a slow news day anymore, and Dan can't hang.

Most of what is described as "news worthy" is complete horse shit. Youtube personalities are mostly Asperger type dudes with a mic. Conventional
"media" has lots of issues and some internet sources are completely legit but pointing out how often they tweet as any type of marker other than them having too much time on their hands is bullshit. I sleep 4 hours a night that means I'm a hard worker and successful. GTFO.

It amazes me that there are still people glued into the MSM's matrix. The matrix is glitching like a mofo and half the former residents red pilled the fuck out of there.

But... but... who's going to tell me what my opinion should be?

Their finances are a tool that could be used for good or evil...

Nowadays everybody wanna talk like they got something to say
But nothing comes out when they move their lips
Just a bunch of gibberish
And motherfuckers act like they forgot about DAN CARLIN

[ssu]

He's still alive!

Politically-related violence in the U.S. heats up as talk of “Civil War” goes mainstream. What would a “Civil War” in the U.S. even look like? Dan has some thoughts on this and ways to potentially avoid such a fate.

Listened to it, quite good Dan Carlin.

I especially liked his speculation that the so-called "Civil War" would look like the 1960's and the early 70's as Nixon portrayed it. That might be a possible future in a country where the vitriolic ranting and alienation shows no signs of decreasing.

Anyway, US politics will just get more stupid and disgusting... more like elections in a Third World country.

How often should an executive tweet? Is there a cut off? How fucking "important" is it and why?
