Newspapers are dying because they adhere to a single perspective. Before you jump up and down and scream something about me being a “Fawx News” acolyte, let me tell you that all I want is non-agenda-driven reporting. I want the truth. And I want to be able to make my own decisions on how that truth affects me and my family. Local news outlets could rebound incredibly easily - perhaps not as print media, but certainly as localized online sources of daily information, if only they would report factually and without horrifically lopsided political perspectives. Advertisers are very simple to figure out; they go where the eyeballs are. And eyeballs leave when they are able to, in every instance, know what will be covered and how it will be covered.

I don't care if newspapers die.
I was poking fun at the hypocrisy of many people who, in one instance, applaud a newspaper for doing the "right thing" and cheering them on. But on the other hand, won't do anything to support those papers and reward them for upholding what is right.
Factual reporting is over on a macro level.

The sooner newspapers die and what you consider to be “journalists” are all out of work then we can sooner get back to being a proper country. These same “journalists” lied to you about Covid for three years. Trump (who I did not vote for) was right when he said the press is the enemy of the people. The journalists you pretend to celebrate are in the tank for Pfizer and have nothing but disdain for you.

Of course it's rigged. It's rigged by the wealthy, who are by nature conservative and ensure the laws benefit them and fuck everyone else over. It's rigged by corporations who privatize their profits for shareholders while they socialize any losses they have. It's rigged in a myriad of ways, none of which are caused by leftists, minorities, socialists, communists, or any of the many other -ists that have never held any real power in this country, and when they tried they were ostracized, investigated, banned, jailed, or murdered. Their leaders are later white washed down to the most banal utterances ("I have a dream") while the real radical views are forgotten completely ("Call it democracy, or call it democratic socialism, but there must be a better distribution of wealth within this country for all God’s children.").
You're welcome to join us in our endless struggles to ensure equality and justice for all, and reparations for the harms caused by colonization, exploitation, privatization and endless amounts of lying bullshit labeled as misinformation. To build a better society. Or you can just sit there and claim "both sides" if you prefer while shit keeps swirling around the drain.

Netherthoughts t1_jaejpgt wrote
Here is where he ridiculous misrepresents the data to further his personal bias (let's forget this is a poll of 1,000 people -- a terribly inadequate amount for any conclusion). Cited from the Boston Herald:
"He (Adams) said it revealed that 26% of Black respondents said it’s 'not OK to be White' and 21% said 'they weren’t sure.' With a degree of amazement, Adams said: “That’s 47% of Blacks not willing to say it’s OK to be White."
The 21% "not sure" are not the "not OK" group. He lumped them together because he has his own fears and biases. His claim can't even be supported by a pretty lousy survey that he himself is citing, because he misrepresents the meager data.
"Racism" is a label for a larger problem. It's the reliance on stereotypes that reveals "Low IQ behavior." Believe it or not, not all Black people are the same, as not all White people are the same. Scott Adams reveals that he has a rather small mind when it comes to the world at large and he's getting called out for it.

That’s exactly what you are doing by not addressing any of his points. You have no argument, just a desire to signal that you’re one of the “good white people”. Got news for ya: 52% of black people still think you’re evil and shouldn’t exist. If you were intellectually honest, you’d address that, like he did.
You haven’t stated a single fact or even an opinion. So yeah, you’re just engaging in empty virtue signaling. Give me actual facts or opinions about what he said (you didn’t even listen to it), and then we can have a discussion.

A poll asked if it’s ‘OK to be white.’ Here’s why the phrase is loaded.

So I actually did watch some of this, and it's mostly complete bullshit.
For example, around ~8:30 he's claiming that most news stories about this didn't list the reason he said those things. Bullshit. The story linked here mentions the reason, and so does every other article I've seen about it. Just for fun, I checked articles from CNN, Reuters, and the Daily Beast – all of them explain why he said it, and that he was responding to that Rasmussen poll, what the poll said, etc.
~13:30 - now he's talking about the economics of cartooning, fucking kill me
16:50 - here's the part where he intimates that any black people who are mad at him are mad because they hate white people, not because of what he said. "You can tell by the comments," he chuckles, offering zero evidence or support for that statement.
17:45 OK, so here he seems to be trying to argue that what he said is just "don't hang out with people who don't like you," and that because people don't disagree with that general idea, that means nobody actually disagrees with what he said, just with "the way he said it". But that's not what he said at all. He's saying white people shouldn't be near black people because – per this poll – a small percentage of black people think it's "not ok to be white." He's not saying stay away from those people, he's saying stay away from ALL black people.
21:00 and now we're at the classic right-winger thing where they pretend EVERYONE agrees with them, but just secretly, because they're too afraid to say it. The fact that almost no one actually agrees doesn't matter because they're "NPCs".

Aren't you the same guy not reporting the "full context" of the Wuhan lab story that just came out? You know, the context where one agency said "based on our knowledge of how labs work, without actually visiting the Wuhan lab, we believe it's this," and how EVERY OTHER AGENCY read their report and said "No, that's incorrect," and how everyone is listing it as "low confidence." There's only three confidence levels for these types of reports: High, Medium, and Low.
High = Yep, the evidence is pretty clear and the conclusions are reasonable. We all agree on this. (Russia is planning to invade Ukraine, reports say, with high confidence levels, and that proved true)
Medium = There's some evidence, but also a lot of holes, and the evidence could be read other ways. Still, it seems pretty possible (Iraq war... which, as we now know, turned out to be FALSE, so even MEDIUM levels aren't necessarily truths)
Low = I mean, sure... it's plausible. Unlikely, you've not actually proven it, but it might have happened that way. You need to provide some actual, you know... evidence of what you're saying. Beyond just "trust us, we work in a lab environment, too, so we totally can guess." (This report)
If you're going to lean on the "we don't have the full context" of a video for which many people have SEEN the full context in all it's long winded, racist glory, you better make sure to provide full context for the stories you do cherry pick from.

He's been a real piece of shit for a while. I'm glad that he's finally getting consequences from it.
