If you want to see a purposeful use of chyrons to bury a story take a look at this: https://frontpagelive.com/2020/04/15/fox-vs-cnn-chyrons-reveal-how-far-removed-from-reality-the-maga-crowd-is/ -

However, it is not the case that the reporter was claiming that the incidents taking place behind him were mostly peaceful. Inept use of a chyron is hardly dispositive. -

Yes. You are correct. I should have followed the link. You will note, that unlike some, ahem, I don't vanish when my errors are pointed out. -

The Guardian view on a demographic paradox: the rebirth of pronatalism

Because the proportion of the old to everyone else was much lower. As the birth rates decline, that ratio has been getting bigger i.e. the numerator is growing faster than the denominator. -

You have to understand that no matter how many times James105 posts information that proves to be distorted, he's going to go back to the same sources for more. It's significant that he offered no link to the image he posted. -

No, he didn't ban people from making fake accounts. Fake accounts, parodies or not, were always forbidden. He banned parodists them from using fake handles. What's the significant difference between one kind of deception and the other? And the thing is, given the propensity of those on the right for believing falsehoods,such as birtherism, qanon, election fraud, etc I don't think most of those on the right would have understood it was a parody. And calling it "well known" doesn't make it so. Likely as a test huh? The owner of the company is putting out fakes under his own name to conduct tests? Give it a rest. Either that or Twitter has one very dim owner. -
Russian Soldiers Are Freezing To Death In Eastern Ukraine

Maybe the version I support is more likely because Russia is a country where stuff like this happens: Where did they disappear to?’: Russian MP says 1.5 mln military uniforms are missing “I still don’t understand where 1.5 million sets [of uniform], which had been kept at personnel reception points, ended up... All of these things were there, where did they disappear to? No one can explain this to me in any way at all anywhere!” he said." https://novayagazeta.eu/articles/2022/10/02/where-did-they-disappear-to-russian-local-pm-says-1-5-mln-military-uniforms-are-missing-news -

Former President Donald Trump files to run in 2024
placeholder replied to Scott's topic in World News
I believe you voiced similar sentiments before the 2020 election. How did that work out for you? I'm sure you wouldn't take the route of election denialism to justify the failure of your predictions in that case. I do wonder if Trump is so popular why is he avoiding campaigning in Georgia for Walker? -

It seems to me that if hypothermia really is widespread among Russian troops, , it should be a lot less difficult to defeat to send them packing or capture them. I wouldn't be surprised if there are large scale surrenders as a consequence of the weather conditions. -

I guess you've forgotten that when comedians posted parodies of Musk, he banned parodies. Then he made it a rule that parodies must be labelled as such when they are posted. Apparently, the rules don't apply to him. But of course, even if he did post it with a warning, it just shows how badly he misunderstands what his role as CEO should be. ANd it was especially stupid given that it's media companies that drive Twitter. You would think that after trying he's incapable of it. -

More nonsense. In general scientiists and IT workers have a politically liberal take. Probably because they have respect for evidence. It goes with the job. But someone who claims that because their politics are liberal, therefore they are biased in their work, is someone who has misunderstood the nature of the evidence he presents. Probably not a scientist or IT worker. -

Death wish for Twitter? CNN blasts Elon Musk for sharing fake image on Twitter On Monday, the billionaire businessman posted an image of CNN anchor Don Lemon alongside a caption reading “Elon Musk could threaten free speech on Twitter by allowing people to speak freely.” The image appears to suggest that quote came from either Lemon or CNN, but the cable news channel said that was not the case. “This headline never appeared on CNN,” CNN tweeted at Musk. https://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/ny-elon-musk-cnn-tweet-20221129-dumlsyrqrzfihold7fmy4thvx4-story.html -

From where did you come up with this nonsense about above freezing temperature means very few cases of hypothermia? While hypothermia is most likely at very cold temperatures, it can occur even at cool temperatures (above 40°F) if a person becomes chilled from rain, sweat, or submersion in cold water. Who’s most at risk? Victims of hypothermia are often: Older adults with inadequate food, clothing, or heating Babies sleeping in cold bedrooms People who remain outdoors for long periods—the homeless, hikers, hunters, etc. People who drink alcohol or use illicit drugs. https://www.cdc.gov/disasters/winter/staysafe/hypothermia.html
