Explaining the understandably fucked situation and then leaving is “storming off”.
The modern media is complicit in the situation we find ourselves in. It's an issue of perverse incentives.
If they need to finance their operation as most that aren't publically funded do, then they need to attract as many eyeballs as possible for ads or parrot the words of wealthy benefactors.
You can rationalize this as saying that you can tow the line where you need and then shout the truth when you are able but it doesn't work out like that, the actual news peices will simply be drowned out.
It becomes a numbers game, a very effective tool for human psychology, it can sway public narrative via issues like the illusory truth effect. We need publically funded independent media, which is why those who which to distort the truth hate the idea.
The billionaires didn't gobble up the media landscape to make money on views...
They bought it up so they could spend money to influence voters to make money elsewhere.
They don't give a fuck about ratings or ad sales, they want us fighting over shit they don't care about, just so we don't realize they're the problem and work together to fix it.
Oh I know, I meant the few media outlets that remain somewhat independent need too and by playing the game they they need to for survival still add to the noise.
If there’s one thing ol yam tits got right during his first embarrassment is that the media is fake and full of fucking shit- it’s literally the ONLY thing the dumb fucker was right about
Perverse incentives and capitalism, name a more iconic duo.
Simon and Garfunkel.
Also: capitalism and slavery

“I’ve never seen that guy in real life, but he looks like he’s, like, 4 feet 10 inches. And he looks like he is angry about the fact that he’s 4 feet 10 inches,” the congresswoman said in an Instagram livestream.
It's not that he's short, it's just he exudes the lack of confidence and toxic masculinity that short guys tend to latch onto because of their insecurities.
Maybe it's not his height, but there is something about Stephen Miller that makes him understand he is less than the average man, and he is very very angry that he doesn't measure up
Honestly, maybe is just my experience of being and living among well adjusted short folk, but it doesn’t seem to be the extreme shorties who have the insecurity issues. We either DGAF or revel in it. It’s the guys on the left side of the meaty chunk of the bell curve who have the “i’m oNlY 5’8” i’lL NeVeR WiN At sPoRtS Or gEt a hOt gIrLfRiEnD” complex. Very mid energy, literally.
Edit: typos
Oh yeah, it's a square/rectangle thing.
Load of insecure men blame it on being short, even if they're not really that short.
But loads of short guys have more than enough confidence, which shows that it's not a causation even if it's a correlation.
Their problem isn't their height, it's just an immutable charecteristic they blame their issues on, as rationale for never trying to fix what they can.

Lol, I'm huge but I played rugby so we also had guys that were like 5'5 110lbs on the same college team. And those short dudes almost always pulled more women than average. Even tho they were hanging out with guys a literal foot taller. Like, no attempt to disguise they were very short
If someone thinks being short means you can't play sports, they just don't know anything about sports, and the same for pulling women.
It's pretty obvious a lot of GOP guys want to bang AOC and are just so thirsty for her (and well, let's admit it, she's a very attractive woman), and don't seem to know what to do with their feelings.
They aren't in school, though, so instead of doing weird in-person stuff like pull her hair or snap her bra, they say incredibly cringe and weird things about her...they just really have not progressed at all.
A lot of GOP guys that want to bang AOC are thinking that as a conquest and not out any feelings that sex would require.
In other words, if given the opportunity to assault her, they would.
It goes perfect with the conservative mindset: I get what I want and get to suppress and treat you like shit.
Slaveowner mentality.
Exactly it's not even just that she's very attractive, there are plenty of very attractive women out there. She's very attractive, powerful, and opposed to them, and they view sex as a form of conquest. You sometimes see similar behavior from the dudebro left with attractive right wing figures, but it's definitely more of a thing the right does to the left.
It was really weird when some con (forget who) was saying something about how she was being a hypocrite or something when she was dating a white guy.
I mean....WTAF.
He looks like the kind of guy that would slash a woman’s tire
He looks like a possessed ventriloquist dummy
Oddly enough that is also his job description
OP you may want to clean up the title
">I’ve never seen that guy in real life, but he looks like he’s, like, 4 feet 10 inches. And he looks like he is angry about the fact that he’s 4 feet 10 inches,” the congresswoman said in an Instagram livestream.
I love AOC, I'm lucky to have her as my Congressional Rep, but she's wrong here. I looked it up, and he's 5 foot, 10 inches tall.
It isn't his HEIGHT that's short, it's his weiner. His weiner is really, really tiny, and THAT'S what motivates his behavior.
Seriously, classic micropenis behavior, it's obvious.
