What happened to the media?

Instant, constant, from million places. It's tough to sort through it all.

And with all that , they're all looking for clicks too. So if they can pit sides against sides , then it's easier to pull strings and get clicks. But without being able to go out there and research and see things for ourselves , we have to rely on someone that does , you know , those that do it as a business for a living, mostly anyways.

Don't forget "manipulated".

 

That's pretty much what I meant by being tough to sort it all out.

And that's been so contested that we had the advent of fact checkers or fact checking which has been a tremendous farce itself.

I gotta say though, wtf is up with Trump's speech with Elon? We've never heard him sound like that. At first I thought maybe a mic issue but it really sounds like he's not wearing dentures. Vain as he is, he must be aware. Was it like that the whole time?

So did he sound like Daffy Duck like USA Today put it it? I haven't had a chance to listen yet. But i'm thinkin it's no wonder why KH might not want to do any interviews currently.

I listened to it, and my first thought was Sylvester the Cat. Then I saw media saying Daffy Duck.  I suppose a little like Daffy too, but a lot of sloppy S sounds.  as in Sylvester below

No need for me to troll around on YouTube. It's obvious enough to me that your assertion remains unsupported. In fact, your inability to find anything and willingness to provide a completely different scenario in putative support speaks poorly of your honesty as well as your recollection.

And this is the attitude of the left on basically every subject that they dislike. No need for you to look into it at all. The things you folks are not aware of use to shock me here at times. 
 

I find it especially offensive when you guys talk about “book bans”. There are things said in such books that are so offensive, when thinking about a 10 year old reading it, that we would get kicked off this platform for posting them. Rightfully so. Yet you folks take our inability to show you as evidence it isn’t happening. 
 

You’d think that subject would be so important that you’d have to look into it yourself’s. But no, you’d rather score political points pretending it doesn’t exist.

It can be a bit like talking politics to my mother who I believe get's her opinions from The View with some of them.  To be fair there are those on the right here that are a bit like that too.

It may be beyond both you and the person I was discussing things with, but not blindly accepting information from social media as true is not equivalent to not looking into it at all.

The amount of unfettered tripe you folks are willing to swallow is shocking to me as well.

I get the sense you find a lot of things offensive. However, one sort of thing I find offensive is people making up things about me.

There are certainly things said in books that are not age-appropriate, and I would agree they shouldn't be provided in school libraries. Wow, mind blown, right? I'll give you a second to digest that.

No, I wouldn't.

I think the censorship of books in schools runs the gamut from defensible to risible, depending on the book, material, and age involved.

It's obvious you're trying to score political point by pretending that I have a certain view. While your obvious dishonesty in this case bodes poorly for how one should trust your word, we'll take this as a learning opportunity for you.

I heard it was a tech issue between his phone and Musk's audio. They said it had happened before with someone else. *shrugs*

Yeah my Mom is the same. 
 

Thats true. Funny part is on the subjects some right wing folks ignore for convenience, it’s usually the only time the left and right agree. Take the several plays the US made to provoke the Russian Ukrainian war. I miss the days when the left saw through those things. Many on the right never did. 
 

Sometimes I feel like the libertarians see all this from a much better point of view. Though I suppose we have our blind spots as well.

This is the other thing you folks do. Assume we get our information from social media, or some radical right wing source. Even if no one used them as a source.

No need to digest. I was just using it as a general example. My sincere apologies for making any assumptions though. I don’t recall you ever speaking out against this. Again my apologies for assuming.

On that we agree. Some take a good cause and go to far with it.

I’m not trying to score anything. Just posting about what I’ve seen. You may not have been involved in those conversations, but many here have.

Slurring is a common symptom of dementia too. Both Biden and Trump show symptom's and are both to old. For me: I have no

loyalty to two old guys. Presidents come and go I am giving Harris ticket a chance to show me what she can do as are many many many others.

It wasn't that kind of slur. Given that he speaks somewhere nearly every day for a long time, if it were dementia as you folks keep insisting, it would come out more. I'll chalk it up to an anomaly until we hear it again.

Also, of course you are. You have no other choice.

Trump does a lot of slurring. He rants too he doesn't stay on topic this is common to dementia too, no ability to focus. At 78 he is not cognitively sharp and he isn't gonna get sharper. You are just replacing biden with trump. Both are in the same cognitve boat. The difference is the democratic party spoke up. We are not afraid to speak up.
