so you know how each news source is, like, targeted at a certain partisan viewpoint or whatever these days?

imagine a world where you have exactly the same news source, but instead, you just install a program to 'transform' that news into whatever viewpoint you have

so you install the iLiberal app, and your news is now daily kos themed

or you install the ConservaCrush app, and your news is now fox news themed

i feel like that's the logical endpoint of this

yes that is the logical endpoint but the Donald Trump Is Lying And Here Is Why app is still fun

Dear Hater
I can't help but notice that you were the 26,112th person to join the DONALD J TRUMP VICTORY MAILING LIST, if you'll answer this simple survey we can work out what took you so long

1) Why do you hate America?

2) Why do you hate our troops?

3) Did you delay because you were intimidated by or in awe of President Donald J Trump's very large hands?

vice: were here in columbia and theyre growing big amounts of weed in this vast field behind us to sell for money. the smell is extremely potent. first off we are going to see see if we can get a sample to analyse back at the hotel to see if its as good as the weed from the episode we shot in south africa. miguel luis herrera lopez is our guide to this extremely lucrative business. he helps harvest the weed but insists he has never smoked it before

colombian: no smoke

vice: its so dank here. surely you get to smoke this very good weed for free every day

colombian: the soldiers say if we dip into the product that we are to have both our ears taken off

vice: admit it.. you sometimes secretly take a small part off of one of the weed plants and you smoke it. Haha you must do that due to the fact that this weed is so potent

colombian: is no possible. they know my sons jorge and rafael. they will cover them in tar and burn them

vice: but this pot is so high grade and dank. theres no chance of a sample?

colombian: is all to go to usa through mexico and to uk by europe through france tunnel

vice: haha fuuuuuck… poo poo haha. just kidding ahah. well viewers watch us next time as we attempt to get weed for free in mozambique

Here's what happened: Across Age Groups, Whites Fared Worse in Employment Rates

quote:

While Hispanics, African-Americans and Asian-Americans have millions more jobs now than they did at the labor market's high-water mark in November 2007, before the economy turned into recession, whites actually lost 700,000 more jobs than they gained.

The only demographic of white people who are more likely to have a job since the recession? Those over the age of 65.

I remember. In fact, by total random luck, it was the same day that article was published that he spontaneously recalled that. One might think this was a coordinated smear from an opposing political campaign leveraging lies and fake news, if one was a racist Berniebro who hates civil rights leaders and black WaPo writers.

Wealth has been going from workers to the very top for at least the last forty years. At some point you have to think maybe the Democrats just aren't capable of scoring victories for working people. Or maybe they don't actually want to.

Doesnt it seem relevant when we are about to have another primary type contest to note the tactics used in the most recent contest of a similar type?

It's just so goofy. There are tons of other topics that could be banned if the primary goal were to curtail "uninteresting" discussion but it seems more like it was a fun thing to do during the election and now we are continuing the tradition because reasons
