Journalism has always been this way under capitalism. Journalists lied about Iraq. They lied about the Black Panther Party. They lied about Vietnam. The term “Yellow Journalism” came about in the 1890s to describe the inflammatory newspapers of the era.

The Edward R. Murrows and Walter Cronkites are the exception, not the rule, under capitalist news reporting because the entire industry relies on selling what sells, instead of broadcasting what informs.

Can they use bows or crossbows? What about pikes? Just crazy how they respect rules like that when the eventual conclusion is guns.

I inherited this pet peeve from someone else and at the same time, developed the pet peeve of inheriting other people’s pet peeves.

“General Slide”

“Apartment hide”

“Glenner lied”

“A part thigh”

You forgot they’re also criminal masterminds who smuggle in thousands of dollars in drugs over the border, kill hundreds of Americans without getting caught, are master engineers that build massive tunnel networks underground, and scam the government out of billions of dollars via welfare programs.

Honestly I wish immigrants were the people conservatives think they are because they’d have an insane set of skills we could use.

Yah the reason Europeans have stuff like free education and healthcare is because the US does all their dirty work. Iraq is a perfect example. The US took very little oil for itself, continuing to rely on South American and domestic fossil fuels. But Iraq wasn’t keeping its oil for itself, it was all being siphoned off to Britain, France, Norway, Germany, etc.

US is the first and only country to ever use an atomic bomb. And not just one bomb: two. So of course we wouldn’t launch a preemptive strike, right?
