    people don’t understand how lexicons work. imagine thinking the dictionary gets to decide what is and isn’t a word… go blork yourselves

    edit: just so we’re clear, im not saying brian is right, i’m saying this shit isnt fucking funny, because its humor relies on the dictionary being an authority. it’s just someone saying “brian” and its funny because they’re webster? who the fuck cares, let brian be a tweaker. wasted a minute of my life by posting this and now 7 minutes with these dumbass replies






  • all that proves is that lemmy users post those articles. you’re skirting around psychotic territory here, seeing patterns where there are none, reading between the lines to find the cover-up that you are already certain is there, with nothing to convince you otherwise.

    if you want to be objective and rigorous about it, you’d have to start with looking at all media publications and comparing their relative bias.

    then you’d have to consider their reasons for bias, because it could just be that things actually suck. (in other words, if only 90% of media reports that something sucks when 99% of humanity agrees it sucks, maybe that 90% is actually too low, not too high)

    this is all way more complicated than media brainwashing.
