  • News for the Awakened

    From Aaron Thomas@1:342/201 to All on Mon Dec 1 23:05:36 2025
    Joe, Ron, and Gregory, and I know what's up: The news has to be decoded to understand what's going on, for the most part.

    Here's the problem with OANN:
    Their content is stale. They don't stay up to date with current events. They're adorable, but useless.

    Here's the problem with REVOLVER.NEWS:
    They're full of it. During the Biden administration they were a light at the end of the tunnel, but at this point, if we're being honest with ourselves, they're just desperate for attention. Thanks for the J6 pipe bomb story, now the FBI is on top of it, but that concludes our need for REVOLVER.NEWS

    Here's the deal with FOXNEWS:
    I despise them for their leftist ways, but I have to admit that they are the most informative news outlet that's available to me. Why is that? I guess that CSPAN is better than Foxnews, but I don't have cable, so for me, Fox News is the best source of TELEVISION news (of course first-hand news dominates.)

    Go ahead, give me sh!t for it, I deserve it. But do you see where I'm coming from? They really are a step-up from the rest, despite the fact that they fired Tucker and damn it I want Tucker for president in 2028!

    I have to disagree here. They have limited resources, so they aren't going to cover every story quickly.

    But they also tend to wait and get the FACTS (unlike many "news" sources) before they post a story - and I prefer that.

    Well, they ARE controlled opposition.

    But you still need to filter what they say to get the actual truth.

    Yea, less is more. I like OANN too, and I prefer it over the rest, but I just wish they were more active. I don't think they have a WH press person.

    That's true. They are a lot more up front about things than other news, but not up front enough. I'll always appreciate Peter Doocy. He helped us with the election a little by asking KJP some of the right questions.
