Media Bias

What exactly is Reddit? Is this a good source for news? Genuinely asking. Never use it, but I thought it was just a large internet comment section.

I might pop a bottle of champagne on 1.21.2021 to celebrate us all moving on with our lives. Trump, you lost, its ok bro. It happens sometimes.

Reddit fuels a large quantity bullshit on the internet...conspiracy theories, fake news, lying ass bitches who claim to be experts, etc

It’s really the worst

They do, much like many massive community websites, Reddit has its' fair share of problems with unsavory communities using the platform.

What Chico won't tell you about are some of the small benefits Reddit offers.

A lot of news companies will source their news from Reddit, and you can even find newsworthy bits on there that won't receive mainstream coverage.

I also find Reddit to be a valuable resource for specific interests I have, as they have a very knowledgeable user base in many different subjects. Examples for me include sports, video games, photography, automotive/mechanical discussion, etc. They can be very helpful when you have a question but you don't know any experts on the subject.

And of course, if you like porn Reddit has a large community built around that too, I'm pretty sure that's how they started IIRC.

Also what's funny about Chico's post that I quoted, we both agree Reddit can be a source of bullshit, conspiracy theories, etc. but I guarantee you he's referring to the left, and I'm referring to the right. For years Reddit admins didn't do anything when radical conservatives were doxxing liberal users and using massive upvoting/downvoting to push their content to the front page, it was only when their radical communities started receiving media attention that they shut down subreddits like The_Donald/etc.

It is a social media thing like. And really it is really not fair for banning people even though you try to go by the rules all due to one person not liking your post or you even. I have been banned on nine forums of Reddit. Really just at times crosses a line and way too strict.

Proud boys beating up a couple ... they also shot someone yesterday in Olympia

Lol sunnyside finally upset about protesters while silent the last year

I’ll go with, “these weren’t actually protesters but outside influencers, not actual protesters”

Also I was told this was Russian disinformation and not actual news worthy by the media:

The Justice Department’s subpoena to Hunter Biden sought information involving more than two dozen entities to examine some of his foreign business ties, including with Ukrainian gas company Burisma.

Are you asking why Bill Barr's heavily politicized Justice Dept. is looking to investigate every business Hunter Biden is involved in?

Is this a serious question?

I go to reddit for the videos.

I like videos.

Reddit is great when you know what to avoid there.

Fact check: A coronavirus vaccine could come this year, President Trump says. Experts say he needs a "miracle" to be right.

Fact check: Trump needs 'miracle' to be right about rosy vaccine timeline, experts say
“There’s a lot of things that could go wrong,” one expert said.


Here is NBC News fact checkers doing their typical garbage fake news

Think I might spend the day flooding the thread with the media lies about Trump not being able to deliver the vaccine this year.

The media lies for political purposes while actively routing for high death counts

“There’s a lot of things that could go wrong,” one expert said.

“I think it’s possible you could see a vaccine in people’s arms next year — by the middle or end of next year. But this is unprecedented, so it’s hard to predict,” said Dr. Paul Offit, a professor at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania and the director of the Vaccine Education Center at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.

-------

Seems scientists were talking about when regular people like us getting the vaccine in 12-18 months from may 2020 (when trump made his comments). trump was talking about the date a vaccine may be developed.

All I know is .. if me and my family get the vaccine by May 2021, ill be happy. Im guessing (I have no clue) I wont get the vaccine until August 2021 or who knows when.

The US gets 100M Pfizer doses = 50 million americans (2 doses per person)

-----------------

Funny ... trying to take a victory lap around this little island of a Trump prediction but ignoring ALL the other Trump predictions re Covid.

I guess political victories are hard to come by for Trump when it comes to Covid.

I know it’s painful for you SS that we did it. Delivered before the years end.

Go ahead and get back to guessing. Also, when we look at the data of most restrictive policies set by states and not by federal government (like it should be, again the right policy) take a look New Jersey and tell me what u see. Tell me how the polices of New York and other states who ordered covid patients into nursing homes...how did that go?
