There is some MAGA supporters or at least just Trump voters who are actually disgusted by it. At least those who are not trying to compare it to yet again screenshots of Obama, Biden, Hilary etc doing the same thing. The same ones where it's an obvious waving motion that was stopped at the right moment.

Just funny how group minded that is. Trumpers using those same exact argument and pictures without an ounce of research.

Yet they say Mainstream Media tells lies to liberals and liberals lap it up.

Well, my main problem is when I see the so called 'evils' of MSM aka Liberal Media no one talks about the other side. As in the most watched News Network called Fox News. How is that not MSM? Because it isnt liberal news? How is OAN and Newsmax not Conservative MSM in itself as well?

I have a rule when it comes to a news topic. Read/watch it in both liberal and conservative media and then find a sort of middle ground media. Or read more of it from both sides from different outlets. The idea is to get the real story and not a one sided interpretation of it.

But we all know those people who have Fox News on 24/7 basically as combination of their own entertainment and source of news. The same sort that will come up to you or others and want to discuss whatever Fox News says during the day or previous night and have it be basically the be all source of knowledge.

My opinion is there's no Left wing media in America, even comedians.

There's Far Right and Right of Center.

There is Left Wing to be sure. Just not as left as the rest of the world is. But the point is MSM tends to be anti-Fox News or OAN or Newsmax when it comes to reporting news.

So you got MAGA complainkng about MSM making Trump a villain. But it's okay to do it with Biden or Obama (who isn't even president anymore). It's just one thing I have been seeing where they are being hypocritical.

Is there a Left Wing news media? Because even John fucking Steward forgot about presumption of innocence and painted Luigi Mangione as on par with domestic terrorists without even using the word "alleged", and he's usually pretty good about standing up and being a truth teller.

This is rumour so take this with a grain of salt but Musk may be trying to buy Paramount and with it Star Trek. So to TL;DR this article, Paramount was being bought by Skydance a deal that most of us thought had already gone through. At the eleventh hour however a legal challenge has been brought due to another group of people coming forward to try and buy it. The members of this group are currently secret. However...

From Variety:


''Those investors have largely remained mysterious outside of Daphna Edwards Ziman, president and co-chairman of film and lifestyle TV network Cinémoi, and Moses Gross, founder and CEO of real estate company ANM Group. (Gross is the CEO of Malka Equities, the umbrella company that signed a $10 billion commitment on behalf of the investors.) But sources say Project Rise Partners is also backed by titans of industry comparable to Larry Ellison and includes at least one of the richest men in the world and as well as a company partner that is a pioneer in the satellite industry. Ziman and Gross fronted the previous offer, which they say was never presented to the board.''


Sound like anyone we know?

If true, it's the last time I interacted with Star Trek at all.

Check out Some More News, maybe? Since you're counting comedians.

Musk floats buying a lot of shit, including Hasbro.

He usually doesn't and was forced to buy Twitter by court order.
