Was talking to DJack on the Presidential debate thread where I outlined that the media hypocrisy is in overdrive at the moment. Anything a Republican does is politicised to the “nth degree”, there are countless examples of this clear media bias and the attempt to trick the population.
Look at this one. Even trying to politicise choice of shoes, it’s insufferable at the moment but they really don’t seem to care.

If anyone above the age of 18 doesn't know the media are guilty of regular spin, hypocrisy and downright mistruths they should have their right to vote removed and be sent back to school.....oh, hang on, I see the problem there.....

Worlds media in "spin" shenanigans shocker!

The world is a mixed up place,
I wouldn’t call that spin personally, would you?
This is the same journalists contradicting themselves a matter of days or weeks apart simply because they want to construct a narrative against the President.
The media has never been this consistent and brazen probably since the Second World War. It’s on another level to anything witnessed in most of our living memory without a shadow of a doubt.

Of course it's spin, they use the same story to say something different depending on who they are talking about.

Journalism has been replaced with activism.
Yep and many teachers are activists who teach their views and opinions too.
My son, now 12, has had a bad view of Trump for nearly 2 years and frequently pokes fun at him, calls him stupid. Yet when I ask him why Trump is bad he struggles to answer.
I'm trying to get it through to him that he can't take anybody else's opinion and repeat it parrot fashion. What teachers say to him or what he sees on Youtube shouldn't be his opinion, he should find out if what is said is true first and form his own opinion. His opinion on Trump seems, to me, to have been formed, or more accurately shaped, by a teacher in his Primary school, before we moved him because we really weren't happy with what the school had become. His teacher in year 6 was always preaching politics but when I asked her about it she was quite brazen in saying what her views were. What was really annoying wasn't that my son had those opinions but that he couldn't justify them, he wasn't taught how to think, he was taught what to think. Our young journalists, not so long out of Uni are also victims of that, in my opinion. They have a general view, if my side does it, it's fine, if the other side does it its wrong. Even older journo's are at it too.
No, it’s not spin. These are the same journalists, it’s left wing activism.
Spin is taking a single story and putting a positive or negative slant on it. What this thread is showing is activists using a story they have already reported on and changing the fundamental theme of it in order to deceive.
Spin is normal. This is not normal.

Your son has fallen victim to the same sort of manipulation that many on here have. Absolutely nobody can explain anything they claim to believe, that’s because they only believe it because of the media narrative.
Left wing activism has absolutely set up its roots in schools and universities. Your son won’t be the only victim either, it’s widespread. There are some truly terrifying videos online of these people brainwashing their pupils.
I watched one the other day where a pupil respectfully said there was 2 genders. He was thrown out of class.

Yes, they are being brainwashed and it has been going on for a while now. One of the worst examples in the USA at the moment is this one. Universiity of Massichusetts

It is spin then, take the same story and put a positive spin on it for Kamale but a negative spin for Melania.....
Semantics, we can disagree with what to call it but the end is still the same, journos deceiving people with dishonest stories.

Spin is normal journalistic practice of making a solitary and slightly biased stance. This is not that and this is not normal practice, calling it “spin” in a sentence which states it’s normal is missing the clear difference.
What this thread is showing is the same journalists making completely contradictory and fraudulent revisionism in an attempt to deceive and sway elections en masse. Jim Acosta openly lying and painting someone as a racist (who knows he isn’t) in the middle of a racially motivated rioting where people are dying - is not spin.
This also is national news stations, not some tabloid hacks. It’s the real pandemic.

I wasn't the only parent to complain either, in my sons case my wife and I have been busy asking him why he believes what he does, trying to get him to justify his opinion and also trying to get him to think about these things and not follow anyone else's opinions, including us!
I want him to learn to think for himself and not be some stooge.

Which is the correct way to raise a child. If he responds well to it we can try it on Prof, Hump and Kilk...

My great nephew believed and probably still does that all the poli bears and whales would be dead very soon. He was 16 then, it was what they taught at the time 10 years ago. They were even showing the totally discredited Gore film the inconvenient truth in schools.

A lot of those cloud-cuckoo-land Marxist professors with their philosophy degrees, gender studies degrees and sociology degrees sure do seem to come across as knowing absolutely f#ck all about how the real world works.
Respect however to other professors and true academics with magnificence to enrich: NHS, society, private sector, public sector, big business, engineering, research and development, science and medicine etc.
They provide and pass down valuable end-product knowledge. Better than providing superfluous two-bob degrees and hot-air to agitate 'student-activists'. I bet many within the WOKE t0sser element could not even knock a nail into the wall.
Was surprised on the Welsh News yesterday that Bangor University has 2,000 staff for approx. 10,200 students. That is good news for the Welsh economy cos without the 'public-sector' the Welsh economy would be f#cked. It's a crying shame that other severely understaffed and overworked within other area's of sectors both public/private do not have equal manning level parity.
