Media literacy seems like it was a lot worse back then. I’m not convinced I would ever support the invasion of another country.
I’m not supporting the invasion of Russia. I’m supporting the defense of Ukraine.
- cmrdporcupine 5y agoI'm fully on board in supporting Ukraine, but the quality of the coverage is no better. I don't often watch TV, particularly American TV, but I was down at a friends recently and he had CNN on and I was like... yep, same old same old, just as bad as it was in the early 2000s. Sensationalistic, simplistic, and highly biased. Beats the Fox News bias, but still bias. But, I'm neither liberal or conservative. I'm a socialist, and mainstream politics is pretty alien to me on both "sides."
