You apparently didn't know there was evidence (once in the hands of the J6 commission) which went missing? And the BBC is listened to worldwide. You're right, they do have a worldwide audience - but they choose what to report and what not to. Like I said, they once were very reputable, but not anymore.Quote:

Anyway, for someone who doesnt mind acknowledging that there is fault for sh!tty American politics all over the place, id recommend the stand-up. Its a good laugh.Quote:

And the American people are supposed to take the media seriously?
As I write I am watching Mark Zuckerberg at Trump's inauguration. He, Bezos and the CEO of Google have all backed Trump in recent days.
But this is the guy who is compared to Hitler? So hopefully you can see that the media is far more propaganda than truth these days, and indeed has been for a long time.
Most Americans have this opinion - you'll just have to trust me on that one.
And I could go all the way back to Russia Collusion which held America to ransom for the bulk of Trump's first term. Crap of the highest order it was.
And then there was the Hunter laptop which the media played a big part in suppressing.........there are many many examples of media lies and bias in America.
And none of them, to my knowledge, have ever come out after the fact and apologized for getting their stories wrong. And their mistakes always seem to benefit the Democrats, never the other way around.
Ultimately I would much prefer if (in the words of Rodney King) we could all just get along and turn over a new leaf for the New Year.
Maybe that is wishful thinking, but hopefully not.
We were discussing the BBC.Quote:

There's going to be a lot of focus on things like AI in the near future, and none of them want to run the risk of sanctions against their own company. So now we're in the situation where CEOs have to make nice with the President so he doesn't ruin their companies, just because he can.
Why is it correct seanfhear?Quote:

Hmm?
You say four more years - but genuine question. Will he last four years?Quote:

Propagandists in other words.
You'd have to be absolutely certain that he was shot at in the first place.Quote:
