I read The Economist regularly, and I read miscellaneous articles from the NYTimes, HuffPo, WashingtonPost that comes up on HN/FB. I enjoy the Joe Rogan podcast but Rogan is wildly uninformed and likes to push conspiracy theories.
I think you're looking for a "badMedia -> uninformedCitizen" trend, but you're not going to find it. My values are just libertarian--- so I've been on the sidelines every presidential race ever. I wasn't excited about either candidate. I just want to hear some good honest arguments. But I see so much emotional manipulation from the left.
- GrinningFool 10y agoIf you're only seeing emotional manipulation from the left, you're only seeing half the story.
- civilian 10y agoSo, I grew up in Portland, went to school in Massachusetts, and live in Seattle now. I totally agree that I'm probably not seeing a lot of the stupid shit that the Right is saying, just based off of who my friends and community are. I critique where I can. :]
- ryandamm 10y agoI subscribe to the Economist, too. Their opinion of Trump jibes with mine, as far as I can tell. Do you disagree? And I ask about media because you've got to start from an agreed upon set of facts. That didn't used to be so difficult. (Not sure we disagree on facts here, but it's the easiest explanation for wildly different opinions on this subject. Might as well dispense with the big issues first, eh?)
