Hey look, it’s my dad… 😑

I had to stop being friends with a guy because he doesn't trust in a lot of news.
But he would constantly go, "Asmongold said..."

Must be hard to break off a friendship with yourself, lol
So I had the misfortune of hearing a joe rogan podcast the other day. It was quite insufferable before I even knew who it was. They were talking about some cool science stuff for a couple minutes, then spent the next half hour bashing the scientific community and making ad hominem arguments about them. Sponsored by a gambling app. For fucks sake, talk about the science thing more damnit!
Alot of those Podcaster dudes target the vulnerable and disenfranchised to get clicks. Also they are part of the reason for young men getting into the alt-right pipeline
Its all been lies as long as Ive been alive. True integrity in journalism has always been rare and an uphill battle. As soon as you come to terms with the fact that monied interests are never going to stop manipulating media, its easier to not take any of it too seriously.
Turns out the world is ruled by a secret cabal of people that decide its fate during weird highly immoral sex ceremonies... And it was that cabal that decided to give visibility to those people.
Who are funded by the same pedofile Zionist billionaires who own the mainstream media
they are mainstream media. joe rogan is one of the most popular media franchises. it doesn't matter he's in a newer format than fox news, it matters that he's part of the same mechanism and cultural delivery system
Does anyone have that image of matt Walsh and like 5 other "independent thinkers" that all posted almost identical responses on Twitter? Theyre not even listening to real people's opinions lol
All sources are biased. The ones that say they aren't are trying to trick you. Understanding the bias of what you consume allows sifting through to get the information.
Yeah but it's true about mainstream media - they all sold and owned by someone.
There is 0 coverage of Gaza genocide or many other issues - it's absolutely untrustworthy.
Mainstream media? Unreliable, biased, full of fake news, they keep lying…
Angry dudes on social media

Left wing people on lemmy do the same thing.... so many links posted on news and world news communities is just left wing blogs...
I haven't found this. In my experience I've only gotten articles. Some articles of dubious veracity yet, articles from sources at least making an effort to appear reputable.
Then again I've only been using Lemmy on one account so far.

well thats what i'm talking about. Not literal blogs, but opinion websites masquerading as news sites. I dont see how that's any better than the right wing manosphere trash the comic is criticizing
If those blogs are "unreliable, bias, full of fake news" then, yeah I guess. Again, I haven't run into those problems with articles on Lemmy.
Could you point me to an example of your experience?
Just go to one of the biggest news communities on lemmy....
If you cant tell the difference between bbc, reuters, the guardian.... and publicwitness.wordandway.com (a very highly upvoted link over the last day) then there's no point in me scouring the whole fediverse trying to prove my point.
And you can all downvote me to hell just to stay in your echo chamber... but you're no better than the right ring idiots we mock in this comic
Too many times, when an article posted on lemmy shits on the Democrats as a "controlled opposition party" over a recently passed bill, the roll call shows the vast majority of Democrats voted against it. Funny how news articles practically never link to the official congressional page on a bill or its roll call votes.
Hey, mens rights has nothing to do with the Andew Tate style mysoginy podcasts. Different world entirely.
