The media is why we know what we know!

For example, when we have to do research in independent sources to discover that they've deliberately, clumsily, or stupidly misconstrued, misrepresented, and/or misunderstood the basic elements of their reporting, we learn things!
Here are media topics that have taught me all sorts of new things:

Religion
Science
Politics
Foreign Affairs
Firearms
Law
Mathematics
History

But man, they can do a killer book review [as long as it doesn't involve these topics].
Essentially, you'd have to be an idiot to take as gospel any reporting by the glorified underwater basketweaving major activists who make up our media on anything from science to, well, the Gospels.

The weird little moral panics of the Trump Era are amazingly more disturbing for what they say about the state of our society than the election of the Dorito Lord itself.
We're late into "Trump Conspired With Saudi Arabia to Kill a Journalist/Trump Yelling at CNN Made Saudi Arabia Think They Could Kill a Journalist" and midway toward the peak of "Trump Will Send the Air Force to Strafe Unarmed Women and Children."
Who among us can remember the halcyon days of "Trump Will Start A Nuclear War With Pyongyang Before 2018 is Over"?

"We have a moral duty to aid the weak and the oppressed." Compelling.

"We have no right to control our own borders if the right age-and-sex mix appears there." Self-evidently stupid and counterproductive.
Arguments are not won purely on merit, but on the manner in which they're proposed and argued.
This is especially true with matters in which the moving party seeks to have our laws, if not suspended, then at least highly-charitably enforced and interpreted: If you want to make a case that our immigration law as it exists is immoral, you can't simply hand-wave at it.

Being enamored of the way things were when you were young does not make you conservative; it makes you nostalgic.
Protesting one's conservatism has very little meaning if the substance of your protest is nostalgia and self-appellation.
Similarly, if the entirety of one's conservatism is a single policy stance, coupled with a congenital resistance to change, this merely makes one idiosyncratically intransigent.

I think the real reason why Jessie Singal is freaking out about this is that, once the government eradicates trans people, he won't have anything to write about anymore... : (
...but in all seriousness, Singal has written article after fearmongering article depicting trans activists as anti-science bullies who overreact to everything. he has helped pave the way for this...
...he acts shocked at this news, while at the same time he's been working on a pro-Zucker follow-up article & a book thrashing gender-affirming healthcare. he doesn't make a connection between the two, because it's all abstract to him. his life is never on the line...

Recommendation 15: ZBC needs to be reformed into a truly independent public service
broadcaster and state-owned media must abide by their legal obligation to be impartial and
provide equitable treatment to all political parties and candidates.- @eueomzimbabwe

#media #Zimbabwe
@eueomzimbabwe In accordance with the Electoral Act, from 4 July the state broadcaster ZBC afforded free access to political contestants through various programming aired on TV and radio stations. - @eueomzimbabwe report

#media #Zimbabwe
@eueomzimbabwe Nevertheless, ZBC failed to abide by its legal obligation of ensuring equitable and fair treatment to all political parties and candidates in its news and current affairs programmes.- @eueomzimbabwe report

The incessant attacks against the #Media by Trump are dangerous and this is taking it to a whole new level.

which raised a total of $12 billion in capital, nearly all since January 2017.
Average returns were 179% from the ICO price to the first day’s opening market price, over a holding period that averages just 16 days.
2/ Even after imputing returns of -100% to ICOs that don’t list their tokens within 60 days and adjusting for the returns of the asset class, the representative ICO investor earns 82%.

HODLING generated average buy-and hold additional returns of 48% in the first 30 trading days
