disinformation Dosquatch In the press conference today, President Gore reported that the war was over, unemployment was down, the economy was up, the budget was balanced, the deficit was resolved, the middle east had achieved peace, and that recent educational reforms had our schools turning out the best students on the planet. 040421 ... cheerleaderslut hah! 041025 ... dosquatch ((weeps)) 091223 ... dan that's the problem with positive spin disinformation. we learn to automatically read it in reverse. but the bad stuff we mistrust as made up too. and that leaves us no energy for the vast majority which is just neutral and meaningless. do I sniff a whiff of depressed on my own breath? or that mouth wash of reality? 091223 ... dosquatch That was steeped in sarcasm five years ago... and we are point for point worse today than we were when I posted originally. I'd feel like a conspiracy theorist if all of the worst of my cynical crap didn't keep coming true. 091224 ... must To know what's going on in the world you MUST BE insane! 091224 ... plop 6 why would you want to know? i ony want to know about the rom-coms not the horror movies. the news is 90% horror and 10%- oh what a jolly day it is we saved one whale and two penguins. the shame of people that work for newspapers, waisting peoples time, making up crap stories when they should write the horror show and write the truth for once. i don't give a shit what it is because i have got a bike, a tent and one pence. 100901 ... plop 7 do you want the bad news or do you want the really bad news? 100901 ... plop 8 I mean who in HELL wants the good news? absolutely NOBODY lets face it bad news sells like flippin' hot cakes, says a lot doesn't it. 100901 ... h|s|g "i have got a bike, a tent and one pence. " true? 100902 ... dos My sarcasm from 2004 is today's hot_and_cold fake_news streaming from an unstoppable tap. I'm not sure if that makes me a prophet or the caster of a curse. 190829 ... unhinged i would say it makes you a prophet; our media today is the inevitable consequence of the telecomm act of 1996. the democrat that singed that shit into law is the one that cursed us. 190830 ... dos You're_not_wrong about the telecomm act, though I'd lay it at more feet than just one guy. He signed it, but the telecomm industry - *cough, choke* - I mean "Congress" wrote it. 190902 ... unhinged he coulda vetoed it though...i do have pretty large anti-clinton bias at this point now. i will be the first to admit that. shows that the corporate capture of government has been strangling us for decades. the consequences are finally manifesting to an unspinnable degree though and the internet (even in its current form) had the dismantling power they always said it would 190904 what's it to you? who go blather from
