News, reality TV, pop shows are for idiots and the mindless herds.

It's ok to watch news as long as you do it with a critical mind and you turn on your internal bullshit detector.

@spongegeoff oh shut up you hyperbolic idiot. If you are anywhere in Eastern Europe you or your kids likely be someone who has to fight a war, It won't be pretty, virtue signalling won't work.

When its all done and destruction has come, you'll question was it worth it. Good luck

@cafecortado my bullshit detector appears to be way too sensitive.

And for those who like watching them all the while seeing through them

@cafecortado Its pure partisan, and and its dangerous when en-masses take it for face value which they do.

Damage has been done, truth comes out years later. But at this point something is inevitable. It gets to a boiling point where the only way out is bursting in a big way. Maybe not now, not tomorrow but just a matter of time, and don't think it'll be pretty.

A.G.R.E.E! Not only mindless, but mind destroying.

#s 1 & 2 deffo. #3 just shows how cruel you are! For without #3, "Visions of young girls lying in bed/Visions of love/In their head" could never take place.

The world would never have seen Nina Hagen's brilliant cover version of Ziggy Stardust! Would you wish that on the world?

& how could I have lived without seeing Mick Jagger in blue eye shadow making eyes at Charlile Watts when Silver Train premiered.

Gross Gott! What you speak of brings us back to the dark ages when men lived in caves and Paul McCartney told us to LET 'EM IN!!

@bols59 what the fuck you on about? Go back to watching your daytime tv.

Books are prone too now, AI automatically writing propaganda. It will happen, without a doubt. And flooding your bookstores with it.

i.e best way to hide needle isn't putting it in a haystack. Its to mix it with other needles. Similarly best way to hide true information, is not hide it somewhere safe. Its to produce gazillions of manipulated information along with the truth. We are much more vulnerable than before.

Only remaining tool is citizen journalists and cross-checking facts, which isn't that immune either, but the best so far.
