    Dear Billionaire News Network: It’s okay to not believe anything these assholes say. You don’t need to wait for science to confirm it with multiple double-blind studies and thousands of hours of surveys and research. They’re utterly incompetent, and everything they do is either illegal, or an embarrassing bad joke.

    Seriously, stop giving them ANY due.

          They report it, it’s just no one reads it because the US has become a fascist society that promotes distrust of the free press.

            The reporting uses incredibly loaded if not outright false language in order to minimize and sanewash anything conservatives do while at the same time inciting maximum outrage whenever a democrat breathes. Even NPR does this. Hell nyt just called a progressive that won a primary a left-wing insurgent in the headline. What the fuck is that shit?

            They legitimize it. Tylenol has no credible studies linking it to autism, never has, still doesn’t, and trump is sowing distrust in bad faith and THEY SHOULD SAY THAT. They don’t. They repeat his loquacious flatulence verbatim and add a measly “CRITICS disagree” or some shit for “balance”. It’s pathetic. It’s wrong. It’s going to continue until they stop making money with it.

              You proud of that one?

              It is the job of the education system to teach people science. The US is a failing country because of poor education. The media could certainly do better on science reporting, but it’s not their job to teach science. The failure of the education system has resulted in the US becoming a fascist society where the free press is reporting facts until it inevitably get shut down by the fascists. You’re a part of that, whether you know it or not.
