we have achieved the "full retard" point in our media history in USA.
We sure have. I skim the NYTimes daily, mostly to see what absurdities we are being told today. Surrealism reigns! I like playing wordle though.
I don't watch any TV news (or very rarely I should say) and I don't know who those two kids you showed us pictures are. The first one looks familiar (maybe he's the kid from Charlotte?), the painted kid I have no idea at all. Poor kids will have been traumatized for life. The media has no qualms about traumatizing white kids.
One of my daughters, who is a very fair and intelligent person, recently had to choose between a white carpenter and a hispanic carpenter. The white guy was clearly a better choice for her (certified, more communicative, less expensive, available when she needed the work done), but she agonized over the decision, afraid she had to choose the hispanic guy or she would be being racist. It was difficult for me to watch. This is a great way to dumb everyone down, and to reduce the quality of our lives. Perhaps that's the point.
So why does the liberal press do it? To spread fear and loathing. To divide us. It's shocking to me how many people still read or listen to that crap. Some insist that NPR and PBS are better, but when you listen to those, they are saying the exact same things as CNN, with fancier language. Western mainstream media, and mainstream alternative media, is dead.
