Talking about news, as I was on the last video, the Twittteratta has become my go to channel to find out what is going on. I have been told by those who wish to silence me, that it is a cesspit of charlatans and liars. Admitted there are a few dodgy characters on there, but it all depends on who you follow. I don't post much on there myself, I just read and take note of what is being said. There is a lot to learn from observing and digesting the words that appear on the screen. There are far more dodgy characters in the Government and Main Stream Media.
Since the new owner has sorted out the wheat from the chaff, and sacked a lot of the staff, people are beginning to come out of hiding. Many of the blocked and banned are being re instated and are finding their voice again. The more the merrier I say. As with any information on the internet, it is up to the individual to pick out the bits that interest them, and discard the rest. We all have an on and off button. We can all snooze an article or video, put it in a folder and go back to it later if we wish to.
The Biased Broadcasting Corporation are paid for by those with tons of money, so it makes sense to look elsewhere for your news if you wish to find out what is going on. With most people able to take photo's and make short videos with the device in their pocket, everything that happens can be out in the open immediately.
Some snippets I have picked up recently.
Who fact-checks the fact-checkers - and who pays them? It seems they favour their paymasters, rather than accuracy. Unsurprisingly.There you go. All of these may or may not be true. It's up to you to do your own fact checking if you wish to. Now it's time for breakfast. Thanks for popping in. Toodle pip. ilona
I am American and I agree with all your views. It's a strange world we find ourselves in now. We have to stay on top of what is happening, to the best of our ability, but this is getting more and more difficult.
