    It’s also ironic that the same generation of parents telling us to be careful online and “don’t believe everything you see on TV” are the same ones that get their news from grifter pundits and divisive facebook memes generated by Russian bot farms.

      It’s remarkable isn’t it? Now we’re the ones telling our parents to turn off the TV and get off the internet or it’ll rot their brains.

      growing up these days includes realizing your parents are shameful hypocrites who are knowingly destroying the world

      The funny thing is that you probably think you get news legitimately.

      But the truth is that it’s all propaganda. The only difference between CNN and Fox, or reddit/Twitter/Facebook, is the angle.

      But it’s all bullshit.

      ‘News’ doesn’t exist anymore, instead of just giving the facts, every article tries to tell you what you should think.

        Oh, is this the fabled “bOtH sIdEs” argument?
