Political Venting

[user27357]

@Rose White
maybe start with a googke search for “media bias chart”. I just did and found one defining political leanings alone, there is another that places value measured with fact checking and - wait for it- actual retractions of stories they got wrong!

Idk which news to pay attention to there are so many and so biased

Truth. You usually have to try a very centrist news agencies. There are some out there that do a very good job at being objectively factual. Ground News, Straight Arrow News, etc.

I did get a good laugh Googling that question, I was looking for SAN, and what I got was:

Top-rated, center-aligned, and unbiased online news sources—often referred to as having a "center" or "neutral" bias—include The Associated Press (AP), Reuters, and National Public Radio (NPR). These sources prioritize factual reporting with minimal political opinion. Other reputable options include BBC News and specialized bias-tracking platforms like Ground News or AllSides.

• Top Center/Neutral Sources:
  • AP (Associated Press): Widely recognized for nonpartisan, factual reporting.
  • Reuters: Known for international, objective, and precise reporting.
  • NPR (National Public Radio): Generally considered reliable with a neutral stance.
  • BBC News: Offers comprehensive global news with low bias.
  • Christian Science Monitor: Often cited for high-quality, balanced journalism.
• Tools for Finding Balanced News:
  • Ground News: An app that aggregates stories and shows how they are covered across the political spectrum.
  • AllSides: Rates the bias of over 1,400 media outlets and provides a "Balanced Search" feature.
  • Ad Fontes Media Chart: A tool that rates news sources based on reliability and bias (targeting the "center" for neutrality).
• Other Generally Reliable Sources (Often Considered Moderate):
  • ABC News (USA/Australia): ABC News (US/AUS) is often listed for, or considered in the center-to-left, yet still highly regarded for, factual reporting.
  • USA Today: Known for moderate, national coverage.

These platforms help reduce the impact of echo chambers by providing balanced perspectives, as analyzed by tools like Ad Fontes Media.

Like, seriously.... AP, Reuters, NPR, BBC... all very left biased. No no... trust Google though!

BBC News: Offers comprehensive global news with low bias.

Unsure on global news. But bbc news from a UK perspective is extremely biased on the side of England.

These are great questions.

What is a globalist and can you give some examples as well as examples of “not globalists”

Globalism is a structure of governance whose ultimate goal is to have one governing body that rules the world. This was at one time considered a conspiracy theory. It has been proven otherwise. Search for World Econimic Forum (WEF) and you will find more information on it. Globalists are what most politicians are these days. - tied to the WEF. I am still uncertain of Trump and his involvement in the WEF. Makes sense that he is but some of his actions make me think he is not. Conflicted about this. Who is a part of globalism? Just about every leader of all countries in the world. Which is why so many are resting their faint hope clause dreams on Trump.

Balanced news reporting is something you will know when you hear it. It speaks about the pros and the cons of given subjects. That is really what the news is meant to do. If you notice there is bashing one way or another from a news source, then it is not a balanced source. If you come away from a news source and you are angry - probably not a balanced source. Balanced sources allow free speach, don't humiliate people with weaponized words or phrases and are happy to have open discussion about ANY topic without name calling, purposely manipulating viewers with emotional triggers and attacking the others side. Balanced news sources allow you to make your own decisions based on free speech.

They also shouldn't be making statements about something without providing some sort of tangible reference that you can use to look into it further.

I have found my own news sources by researching, cross referencing and looking for very valuable lived experience (of myself or those I trust) - Warning. It is time consuming.

trust Google

I think @enough was using Google as a search engine to find websites not going off the AI summary? “Googling” used as a metonym to stand in for Internet search, not the source of information? I saw those websites too. On one of them, SAN was listed as centrist. Ground news not listed at all. AP left leaning. Here’s the link: https://www.allsides.com/media-bias/media-bias-chart

There was an interesting statement under the chart of bias, “We don’t rate credibility or accuracy because we are not a Ministry of Truth. A news source can be credible and accurate and still biased.”

I find that illuminating. Meaning a news source can be centrist and inaccurate or not credible. So maybe need to look at a different source for a rating system in terms of credibility.

one governing body that rules the world.

I wonder who would enforce it? Would they have an army to defend it? How would they pay for it?

 

[shimmerz]

Ground.news gives a reporting of how various sources are covering news topics.

I wonder who would enforce it? Would they have an army to defend it? How would they pay for it?

I wonder why protestors in Ottawa who were on their knees were beaten the shit out of. They were protesting because truckers were losing the right to work. Meanwhile, many other protestors in various cities defied authority, or were left alone to burn cities to the ground. I wonder why? They enforce it through violence.

I could give example after example after example. I am not so willing to do that here. I feel the effort would fall on deaf ears. Just know, if there is a time that you feel that you smell a rat in the current narrative, or are sick and tired of being enraged, or want to stand back and see another side that is clearly there as not everyone believes what you do - stop being a passive listener and research for yourself why people believe differently than you do.

Violence is going to get us nowhere. Forcing Americans, Canadians and Australians out of their homes with replacement migration is going to do nothing but destroy countries as it is in Canada.

The US is a great country. It would suck to see it continue to be destroyed from the inside out.

 

[Rose White]

@shimmerz I’m confused about the connection between the globalist concept and the state violence example you provided.

That said, I do understand anger at having no say and feeling distanced from decisions made by people who are so far away from ordinary people.

 

[shimmerz]

@shimmerz I’m confused about the connection between the globalist concept and the state violence example you provided.

I expect you are @Rose White, it takes a bit of research to put it all together, so you would have to look into what globalists even are first and foremost and then you will see the role they have in the replacement migration, violence and rage and fear that is playing out at this time.

In the meantime, why not look up Anthony Rodriguez-Gregorio - and ask yourself why you don't know about him. Did you see his name splashed all over mainstream news?

As a quick outline - Anthony Rodriguez-Gregorio was convicted and had started serving a 25 year sentence for raping a toddler. He was let out of jail as I recall less than a year after being imprisoned. He was in the US illegally and luckily, when ICE found out he had been released they sent him packing back to his country of origin.

Are you hearing about these stories in the news channels you monitor? If not, why not?

If you don't look that information up then I won't engage anymore. I am interested in chatting with people who are wanting things to change. And a situation like that should never have happened. And we, especially we on this board - should be pissed that this was even allowed to happen to this sweet young child. And by the way - there are many more like him in Canada and the US and Europe.

Oh, and who is allowing all of this migration to happen? Globalists.

 

[Rose White]

The case of Rodriguez-Gregorio tells us about Maryland’s state laws surrounding judicial discretion. What happened to R-G is, sadly, standard sentencing practice in Maryland, which means that there are numerous child sex offenders in Maryland who are citizens, who got out of prison through the same process and no ICE to take them away!

I’m very angry about state sentencing policies that let child sec abusers out or judges who let them off.

Idk why our legal system works that way. Personally I’m not smart enough (or don’t have the time) to understand the globalists concept because I can’t see the hidden structures, but the structures I can see make me plenty mad enough.

I picked up a book in Budapest a couple years ago that is fascinating. It is called The Weaponization of Everything. It was published in the UK. No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, it is well worth reading. We are all being manipulated on a mass scale.

Was ICE wrong in sending a man who was not a citizen and who raped a toddler out of the country?
