    Philip DeFranco. I watched him for over a decade then after covid I started picking one or two stories from the video to read about and I was pretty disappointed by how often it was mispresented. After a bit its obvious its intentional by what’s being left out. Even though we still had the same politics I dont want to watch someone who intentionally skews the stories by leaving out key facts. I can arrive at the right conclusion with the whole story.

      which is why its so important to get anything you’re hearing from multiple sources. cause someone is always going to misrepresent it for their own benefit or bias, and sometimes it may not even be willfully done or even conscious of it, but it will happen

      and thats a skill people used to have, until social media destroyed peoples attention spans and desire to make any effort on anything… now the average person hears their news from a 15 second AI clip and takes it as gospel.
