    “Just”… ? no. There’s a certain vetting process that makes sure they tell the right lies.

      Not sure if you didn’t get it, but that’s a reference to an Arthur meme. altr

        I’m aware of the arthur reference, but it’s really important to realize these aren’t off-the-cuff lies.

        This is a planned, coordinated effort that has been going on since before I was even alive; and the journalistspropagandists have been very carefully selected- and have indeed worked very hard to get the job of fucking over americans.

        There are two jobs where you can go on national TV, lie and not get fired. President and weather man.

          Press secretary, too.

          Also, weathermen aren’t necessarily lying. lying requires an intent to deceive, and most times, weathermen don’t mean to deceive, they’re just factually wrong. (FWIW, predicting the weather more than a few days in advance is a crap shoot.)

            Press secretare is just a modern herald or crier, they are the voice of the king.

            As for the weatherman bit, your right, but thats also the joke…

      the precipitous fall of print media over the past couple decades is something that would one day be written about in the history books if they weren’t also full of shit.

        Decentralized media like fedi is the only hope of the working class.

        Owners either own or control everything else government, fake news, TV, Hollywood, publishing, corporate socials.

        Wikipedia will be deposed in time, they are already mawing at the foundation
