No, I just refuse to deal with it, the same way I don't use google for information. Anyone who signs up for social media and depends on it for information is a dolt as far as I'm concerned, because its algorithms are geared to put you in a personally-tailored echo chamber of things you're already interested in and opinions you already hold. And reality works nothing like that. If I want my thoughts echoed back to myself, I'll just ponder. If I want reality, I'll go hunting around as far and wide as I can to see what there is. Besides, signing in to social media is the same as giving yourself an electronically transmitted disease. And then google only feeds you the official-narrative-approved information.

MOST people still get their news from TV network news: https://www.poynter.org/newsletters/2020/america-is-watching-the-eveni
ng-news-again-tv-news-numbers-are-up-way-up/ And I make a point of watching (or at least listening to) ABC and NBC while I'm doing chores, just to see what I'm supposed to be paying attention to.


But the NYTimes is (supposedly) America's paper of record, and the WaPo hopes to be the same for doings in Washington. And just to round out the list CNN is good for what I call raw meat splatter.

So, I'm tracking them here.

j - You must be confused. I already explained to you that these social media outlets that you claim are news sources are merely social media entertainment venues.

j - WaPo and NYTimes also just spew whatever was approved for dispersal by Big Tech.

k- I hope to track it for a while, to see what 'the narrative' is now that we're supposed to be on board with.

I just want to comment on the WaPo article. Unlike the mindless narrative drivel we get treated to every day, imo it's important news.

According to the various news items I looked through about this, the federal 'vaccination passports' push is - supposedly - in service to private companies, because they're 'demanding' it. Though why the federal government should put itself in their service instead of being in service to us citizens is a mystery, unless of course one makes the mental leap and understands that our government - even the democrats* - represents NOT US.

Hopefully it sparks significant pushback that has political force, even though it won't have Constitutional force. That Constitutional barrier was broken way back in the day (1980's) when corporations and other employers started insisting on mass drug testing. And a sharp divide was drawn between the Constitutional protections against the government, and the complete absence of them against private parties.

BTW, that intrusion has been extended to your employer being able to fire you for things you post on facebook on your own time using your own money (you have no freedom of expression with private parties), legal medical treatments and care you receive (like contraception), for actions you take that are recorded by private surveillance videos, etc. And of course businesses are allowed to harvest and sell private information about you. And finally, government is allowed to harvest whatever information is gathered by private entities, and to video/ camera surveillance you in public areas, because any protection you have is confined to the four walls of your curtained home, gathered directly by government. Though that hasn't seemed to stop the spook agencies from gathering emails, phone conversations and so on, illegally.

The legacy media (arm of the Democrat Party) has been the enemy of America for a decade or 2 by now. And also the most Anti-democratic and Anti-democracy.

The Democrat Party has been the enemy of America for generations by now, most clearly with the milestone of the Election of Slick Willie - and also the most Anti-democratic and Anti-democracy, and now they are the DeConstitutionalists.

And Libtards have been the enemies of America since their inception, as well as the most Anti-democratic and Anti-democracy.
