Also, it’s a well-documented and observable fact that racists occupy the lowest levels of society, however you look at it, economically, socially, intellectually, morally, racists are the underbelly of society...
Modern race-baiters are immensely wealthy and highly regarded in North Eastern culture.

These media sources are moderately to strongly biased toward liberal causes through story selection and/or political affiliation. They may utilize strong loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes), publish misleading reports, and omit information reporting that may damage liberal causes. Some sources in this category may be untrustworthy. See all Left Bias sources.
Failed Fact Checks
- Says Walmart is “one of the largest sellers of assault-style weapons.” – False
- Says Charlie Crist’s campaign bashed Sen. Bill Nelson’s “big-government solutions.” – False
- Says President Donald Trump is “talking about exterminating Latinos.” – Pants on Fire
- “Bloomberg spent $500 million on ads. The U.S. population is 327 million. He could have given each American $1 million and still have money left over.” – Pants on Fire
- Joy Reid claimed the pharmaceutical companies Moderna and Pfizer “were not involved with Operation Warp Speed.” – False
- “The Rachel Maddow Show,” MSNBC and the show claimed achieving herd immunity would kill roughly 6.4 million Americans. – False
- “While he was president, President Trump never encouraged Americans to get vaccinated.” – False
Overall, we rate MSNBC Left Biased based on story selection that consistently favors the establishment left. We also rate them Mixed for factual reporting due to news hosts and the website producing 3 pants on fire claims. (5/13/2016) Updated (M. Huitsing 04/16/2023)

These media sources have a slight to moderate liberal bias. They often publish factual information that utilizes loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by appeals to emotion or stereotypes) to favor liberal causes. These sources are generally trustworthy for information but may require further investigation for context. See all Left-Center sources.
Failed Fact Checks
- A computer infected by malware proved a Vermont power company targeted for disruption by Russian hackers. – Mostly False
- Donald Trump said, “find the fraud,” “National Hero” – False (corrected 2 months later)
- At least 50% of people who survive Covid-19 have debilitating health issues in the months afterwards. – False

Trump's always been a conman
He even conned the President, Biden, to say he was a "handsome guy"

And no, it's not TDS to laugh at a man so objectively buffoonish.
Yeah, it's fun for the 1st 2000 jokes, but every joke has expiration dates, and seems to elicit more anger than joy over time. You can only jump that shark so many times...and with the writer's strike, corpo-comedy is long gone now.
And angry people during a recession means real bad news for the ruling establishment. Sure there are a dwindling number of TDS cultists that will laugh at every re-run and binge watch it for months, but it's still dwindling.

- Critics agree that the quality of late-night shows in the U.S. has been decreasing steadily.
- This is a little surprising, considering that the format has thrived ever since it was introduced during the "golden age" of television in the previous century.
- However, many late-night shows have dug their own grave through their obsession with former president Donald Trump.
This article seems to suggest TDS isn't nearly as profitable in an age of economic uncertainty and a Democrat President.
“When comics abandon humor and go with anger instead, they become just another ‘outrage’ host,” Danna Young, a communications professor at University of Delaware’s Center for Political Communication, told CNBC.

I see no reason to believe the survey is real.
I agree with you, it was probably worded in such a way as to get a desired result, and since we can't see the question, it makes it highly sus.
The fact that these indictments and eventual trial may shape the outcome of a presidential election is extremely unfortunate,
That's an understatement, lol

Oh, so you mean it doesn't matter if masks don't work, since we got busted on that in 1918.... But if you take this shot, you don't need to worry that the masks don't work....

Touting their ability to distract an anxiety-ridden public, movie houses remained open, as long as viewers wore masks. At the Riley in Greenfield, Ind., if you had your own mask, admission was 6 and 11 cents. If you needed the theater to provide one, admission went up to 10 or 15 cents.
The Riley, its advertisement said, had been disinfected. So had the Coliseum dance hall in Rock Island, Ill. “Aseptic spray, etc.,” said its advertisement, which reminded dancers to bring their masks. “Don’t forget the big Duck and Goose call this Saturday.”
Through the attempts to make wearing masks seem normal, positioned at stores alongside everyday things such as tobacco, mustache grooming and dancing, the grim truth persisted.
“The masks worn by millions were useless as designed and could not prevent influenza,” Barry wrote. “Only preventing exposure to the virus could.”

People called them “flu fences” and “chin sails.” Gala attendees fastened theirs with gaudy earrings. Smokers cut flaps in them, and movie houses gave them away with tickets.
During the influenza pandemic of 1918, officials often advised Americans to wear face masks in public. Doctors believed that masks could help prevent “spray infections,” according to historian John M. Barry in his book, “The Great Influenza: The Story of the Deadliest Pandemic in History.” Enforced by local health officials, the facial coverings grew routine. Often, Red Cross chapters fashioned and distributed the masks that were “seen everywhere and would become a symbol of the epidemic,” Barry wrote. Americans used the masks as a method of retaining some normalcy during a pandemic that killed at least 675,000 Americans and 50 million people worldwide. It was the only aspect of the catastrophe discussed with any humor.
If directed to wear a mask, homemade worked. “Take a piece of gauze the size of a sheet of typewriter paper,” said instructions in the Atlanta Constitution. “Fold it twice, so that it will fit an envelope. Then attach strings to the four corners and tie these strings at the back of the neck. The mask covers the nose and mouth, so that the wearer breathes through four thicknesses of gauze. A clean handkerchief is just as good as the gauze.”
Now, amid the novel coronavirus pandemic, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is debating whether it should recommend that people wear masks when they go outside. In 1918, with a different virus, it didn’t help.
Iowa’s State Board of Health reminded those sewing masks to add some “colored worsted [a type of yarn] or tape” on the part of the mask that would be the outside. The upper margin was to be drawn tightly over the bridge of the nose, right under the eyes. Masks were to be washed after each use, not touched once they were tied on, and boiled for five minutes before wearing again.
The masks disrupted lives in unexpected ways. A San Francisco fisherman said “bandits” in flu masks robbed him. A woman taking a train from Chicago to Pasadena, Calif., reportedly experienced a break from sanity when she disembarked and “beheld the masked city,” according to a story in the Los Angeles Times. And columnist Fay King bemoaned the new mustaches. Men who formerly “couldn’t bear to have [a] hairy lip classed with a tooth brush” were growing facial hair, now hidden behind the masks.
On Nov. 1, 1918, Eugene C. Caley became the first man in Oakland, Calif., to be arrested for not wearing a mask. He was released on bail, although similar scofflaws in San Francisco had been sentenced to up to 10 days in jail. (Departments donated revenue from fines to the Red Cross.)
“This is only the beginning,” said the chief of police, according to the Oakland Tribune. “We are going to enforce this mask ordinance if we have to pack the city jail with people. This epidemic is too serious to be taken as a joke, and men arrested … will find that it’s no laughing matter when they face the police judges.”
Some complained that the masks were “unsanitary,” and bureaucratic confusion could stymie whether they were worn. In Alexandria, La., a sanitation leader for the Army ordered flu masks be worn. But waiters removed theirs because their local public health official said that the masks prevented “free breathing,” according to the Town Talk.
Spain hated being linked to the deadly 1918 flu pandemic. Trump’s ‘Chinese virus’ label echoes it.
Tobacco-chewing workers were “kept busy putting the masks on and off” to spit, reported the Fort Wayne Sentinel, while smokers became creative. One cigar vendor made doors in masks so that her wares could be enjoyed, reported the Oakland Tribune. One man fashioned a cigarette holder from a long rubber tube, and another simply shoved his mask up over his forehead.
“I am 75 years old and have been living in this state 67 years,” a man named E. Piercy told a police court, according to Los Angeles’ Evening Express. “I must have my smoke, and I’m not going to give up my tobacco for a cheesecloth muzzle!”

this sounds like an excellent argument for massive investment in greener energy,
Which we have been doing, to the tune of trillions of dollars in subsidies, but if you read my links, it doesn't stop the brownouts for hours of peak usage because the sun and wind doesn't care about your feelings. And it only takes a few hours to die from hypothermia or heat stroke.

I have never posted anything personal, to any depth, on this site.
I think, I will make an exception today.
I work with a lot of troubled teens yearly, mostly with great success, and little tragedy.
2 days ago, a troubled 20 year old, my roommate's cousin, who used to visit us daily for support, battling alcohol, died tragically in a car accident.
This really hit me hard, and I grieve for the loss in this world of a young person who never got a second chance due to cruel fate.
If anyone wants to leave a supporting comment, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks.

Adolf Hitler's popularity increased SUBSTANTIALLY after he was imprisoned following his failed coup attempt known as the Beer Hall Putsch in 1923.
Hitler's time in prison provided him with a platform to propagate his ideologies and gain more widespread attention. During his imprisonment, he wrote his autobiographical manifesto "Mein Kampf," which outlined his political beliefs, antisemitic views, and plans for Germany's future.
Hitler's trial and imprisonment received significant media coverage, which brought his ideas to a broader audience. This allowed him to disseminate his extremist nationalist and anti-Semitic ideologies to a wider segment of the population.
Hitler used his imprisonment to paint himself as a martyr for his cause. He presented the failed coup as a noble attempt to save Germany and blamed its failure on the political establishment and perceived enemies of the nation.
Hitler's charisma and oratory skills were evident during his trial and imprisonment. His speeches and writings resonated with certain segments of the population, attracting supporters who felt disillusioned by the Weimar Republic and its perceived weaknesses.
Hitler's time in prison allowed him to further radicalize his followers and solidify his political movement. His writings and ideas attracted like-minded individuals who became increasingly dedicated to his cause.
Germany was undergoing significant economic challenges and political instability during this time. Many people were looking for strong leadership and solutions to the country's problems, which Hitler promised through his nationalist and authoritarian agenda.
Why on earth are you Okay with creating a second "Hitler" by creating a political Martyr?
If Weimar Germany simply ignored Hitler (a practical nobody before his imprisonment, less relevant than the Qanon Shaman...) and fixed the country instead of fighting for petty political power, we would never have had WW2...
