by artappraiser on Tue, 04/19/2022 - 5:18am
Ignoring that 30% is a helluva lot, and creates a vast amount of social disorder when you contemplate 30% of say 250 million, i.e. 75 million largely of shit disturbers & malcontents & people with agendas & often confabulated needs and wishes, many with tenuous grasps on reality and happy to seize an easier way to threaten and harass those who offend their sensibilities?

Yes, I agree. But here I just ran across an excellent example of a media figure (Toobin) stoking political divisiveness and a geek type (Silver) pointing out that majority feelings on the issue are really bi-partisan:
I.E., Toobin's going: everthing is all about Trump's Republican party vs. Democrats and Silver is going: no this is about requiring masks.
Political pundits have a vested interest in stoking political diviseness over everything, that political affiliation is the main thing that divides society, is the main denominator....And here's arta's regular monthly reminder that actually, political Independents are basically the majority of the population.

"Libs of Tiktok" is a focus today as regards social media.One important question to ask: is this a pro pushing memes and trying to manipulate people, or is this just someone acting as the voice of a segment of the people from the bottom up, saying what they feel?

by artappraiser on Thu, 04/28/2022 - 12:58am
"Hi, we do a shitty job on both sides, so we must be fair & balanced!"
How about the media needs to fucking get its house in order and report news accurately,
robustly, competently, timely, debunking as much of the fake news bullshit as possible in real time,
but also leading us towards intellectual debates & needed discussions, not kids throwing spitballs.
Elon goes between genius and 2-year-old/kindergartner, but we've had this stupid
"offend both sides equally" for a while, which I posted something on a week ago I think.
And yes, the management of Twitter pre-Elon hasn't been able to keep up, though they
do try to adjust - it's a huge messy system of conflicted humans, so not trivial - unlike this tweet.
by PeraclesPlease on Thu, 04/28/2022 - 1:03am
Every time a "both sides do it" appears, there should be a reference to relative magnitude and egregiousness.
You shouldn't post mean w/o std deviation and other germane statistical references - e.g. how much are outliers, how much mainstream?

she links to this - among other things, and I think everyone should consider its political implications, that many people are not opposed to billionaires using their money this way!

Peter Thiel worries me much more than Elon, as does Sheldon, the Mercers, the Koch Brothers, Zuck, the Pillow Guy, ...
Elon makes a few dumb jokes on Twitter and people act like he's a big deal. He actually made electric vehicles and private sector space supply/travel a thing, his support for neural implants is cool even if a bit hype, underground metro capsule replacements are cool if they work. Supplying Ukrainians with space internet was very useful & needed (tho his blurring the night sky with low orbit satellites is pretty crappy).

I disagree. There are a lot of plenty far lefty propagandists out there that do a lot of damage because they aren't honest debaters, but out for #1, celebrity-style, not unlike what Trump does. Nikole Hannah-Jones, for one example
Actually, I follow Mehdi Hasan, and I'm starting to think he might be another one just like that.
by artappraiser on Sun, 05/01/2022 - 1:41am
"Plenty", but not major candidates for President. Who the fuck is Nikole Hannah-Jones? she couldn't even get a tenure slot at UNC. AOC is a newbie representative - the rest of the Squad has much less of an actual following.
The mainstream Democratic candidates with the most following have been calling for improving healthcare and work conditions as basic platform, but Biden, Clinton, Obama, even Bernie have been fairly consistently none-too-radical on foreign policy, including keeping the border safe and immigration within legal limits, etc.
Yet the media always has to pull out the woke motherfuckers to compare with Trump & pull the "both sides do it" bullshit.
AOC got 153K votes in Bronx/Queens in 2020. Pressley 267k in Boston. Tlaib 165K in Detroit. Bush 249K in St. Louis. Omar 256k in Minneapolis. 1 million votes between them.
Here you can see the seniority & committee positions of Dems in the House - how much front page space is given them, vs the Squad with no chairmanships & not really that much national pull, much of it from news orgs wanting to catch the "trend". Similar in fact to when Bernie ran, when the press liked the horserace thing so ignored the near impossible odds Bernie had to try to make it a tight contest.

Culture wars gets the same tilted field - the Republicans seem to like all their top reps being crazy Fox-fed lunatics. Where's the equivalent by Democratic leaders?

I know the answer to this one:
they tried that all during the Geo. Floyd protests and riots in summer/fall 2020, they offered the Defund crew's narrative ad nauseum. Turns out only a tiny minority liked to hear that wacky narrative, especially by the time of Kenosha (prolly mostly elite white liberals?) Even liberal people ended up shutting off those channels and looked for alternates that offered real experts on policing and not those pushing a faux narrative emphasizing relatively small amount of police abuse. Most viewers were interested in information that might actually reduce crime and increase quality of policing and life in general, capiche? CNN and MSNBC learned their lesson and switched to real experts on policing and crime and stopped pandering to a tiny minority of grievance grifters selling a faux narrative

We have no information about what happened before she began shouting. Maybe nothing or maybe something that justified her anger. Store clerks aren't automatically right. Some of them are shitty people with shitty attitudes that act like we should meekly accept how ever they decide to treat us. I'm 65 years old and there has been two times I went off on a store employee same as this women. If there was a video I'd look just like this women. I don't apologize for it, they deserved it. I'd have to know what happened before she got angry before I make any decision about who is right or wrong.

As a Gen Xer and early blogger, he sees that the 'blogosphere' not just continued but promoted the politicization of the news that they claimed to decry when they saw it in cable tv news talk and talk radio. Boomers who grew up with Cronkite et. al., pre-Murdoch, see it as one long trajectory towards increasing politicization of the news, cumulating in social media. "Citizen reporting" - not at all the answer it was cracked up to be, but more of the problem. The elite professionalization of journalism in the middle of the 20th century was going in the right direction. But it got derailed by 'democracy". Did it have abuses and mistakes? Sure, like with any profession! But the baby was thrown out with the bathwater.

Not true. Read a couple days ago that it wasn't true, but I waited too long to counter this and now I can't find that. In any case, link now is he has said directly to employees that it isn't true.
