    Trump: NBC, CNN should have ‘licenses or whatever’ pulled for not airing Iowa speech

    “NBC and CNN refused to air my victory speech. Think of it — because they are crooked. They’re dishonest, and frankly, they should have their licenses or whatever they have: Take it away.”https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-nbc-cnn-licenses-whatever-151146797.html Those networks should be...

    Watchdog chastises Pulitzer winners for Trump-Russia tales

    CJR Editor-in-Chief Kyle Pope said of the episode, “No narrative did more to shape Trump’s relations with the press than Russiagate. The story, which included the Steele dossier and the Mueller report among other totemic moments, resulted in Pulitzer Prizes and embarrassing retractions and...

    What has Trump actually done?

    Regardless of whether you believe the media is biased or unbiased, we only ever see a small portion of what any President has done when we see or read the news. I want to see a source that explains, objectively, what the president has accomplished. What sort of bills he has signed in, what...

    Buying pre-recorded VHS tapes

    Hi everyone, I'm planning to digitalize our old VHS tapes and also buy some and play them. I like the nostalgia :) I was thinking about buying some pre-recorded VHS tapes with shows and news and sport etc. from people who sell these online at Ebay for example. As far as I know, recording from...

    For the sake of cinema, Disney needs to be broken up

    For the sake of cinema, Disney needs to be broken up Their profits suggest we love their movies, but is there a problem with all these mergers? Are we living in the Second Gilded Age?

    The problem is the media

    People are pretty good thinkers when they think together. I go into the Dem safe house and most of what is there has a compelling truth to it, and the same in the Rep safe house. The garbage 'information' pumped out by the media tends to disintegrate, that's why it has to keep pouring it out...

    Left and right all switched around

    The Media is fooling people as usual. Low income people like me see high levels of immigration pushing up rents and competing for low paid employment. Wealthy people see high levels of immigration as a source of cheap labor and more renters. In the 2016 election both Bernie and Donald said a...

    Political Polarization

    is a media-made lie. It seems common sense and agrees with my own experience that people all want pretty much the same things.

    Learning from Atheist books/videos to improve Christian Apologetics?

    There are some, such as myself, and apparently these fellow Christian academics at Biola University (in the short 7 minute video below), who think it is possible to learn from atheistic media (books/video/articles, etc.) to improve our own Christian understanding in various ways. This thread...

    News is bad for you – and giving up reading it will make you happier I should explain 'the news' in England means the national news and England has many national newspapers each targeting a specific level in the complex strata of British society. So I would consider the article to be mainly...

    Mommy, why has the Playboy Philosophy perverted American men's minds and actions?

    ...well, Junior, a while back, my sociologist friend said that it all came about like this: ...and then, Junior, we now have to deal with this very scary devastation to men's psychology in our culture. Understand? But here's something else to think about, and I hope after you hear it, it'll...

    It's Bad When the New York Times Defends the Pope

    I am of the opinion that the New York Times is opposed to almost everything contained within the orthodox teachings of the Church, so when that newspaper defends the Pope, I tend not to think that it's a good thing. It seems to me that in any other circumstance, they'd be castigating anyone...

    Turpin-time, the breakdown of Constitutional rights

    A while ago, in the "news" (I mean that in the loosest sense possible), a "family" with "13" children by the name "Turpin", has become national, and even international headlines. Yet, there is a problem (well to be more specific, several problems and inconcistencies), that we need to look at...

    Media (TV channels, etc.) as a tool of normalization for 'obscure' faiths

    In a recent conversation in another thread, I advanced the idea of BYU-TV essentially being propaganda for the Mormon religion, which was not very well-received by my interlocutors. I also maintained that the same could be said regarding Roman Catholic TV channels like EWTN, Orthodox TV channels...
