Sinclair Broadcast Group is the largest owner of local TV stations in the country. That's alarming considering that they often inject political views into local news.

*"There is one step proven to drastically decrease domestic violence: marriage."* Well someone hasn't read the statistics or even researched what domestic violence is.
@---cr8nw
@---cr8nw 4 роки тому
It's probably just a really bad misinterpretation of statistics. Statistically, domestic violence is more prevalent among dating couples than among married couples. But it's absurd to conclude that marriage will reduce abuse, unless you're deliberate about marrying someone who's NOT abusing you.

Not to mention, the bible, )which conservatives say is absolutely moral) says women are property not people, and you can rape and beat your wife all you want. It's almost like conservatives, take something completely immoral, and call it morality and beat you over the head with it until you agree.

Honestly that’s the problem with right wing news. It takes whatever peanuts about the left they can find and makes them into “national tragedies” and “scandals”. Sure, the left does that too, but they make considerably less mountains out of mole hills than Fox News, OAN, or Sinclair does. For an example, the Daily Show has a hilarious compilation of Fox News reporting on Obama “scandals”; basically just Fox News losing their shit over mundane things that former President Obama did like having a soldier carry an umbrella for him during a speech (which other presidents, including republican ones have done) or him ordering Dijon mustard on a burger. It’s very funny.

Fun Fact: Prior to 1850, it was legal and acceptable to beat your wife "as an exercise of your authority." It took another 70 years before it was outlawed in every state. Then, it was another 50 years before no-fault divorces. Then, 23 years later, the states finally agreed spousal rape: bad. And that, dear children, was in 1993.

@jacob It's not as simple as that. Past matters but it doesn't matter in a sense that past isn't now. It was a whole different World. Any group of people is literally not the same people as 150 years ago. None of those people are alive and people of today couldn't influence the things of the past in any way. So associating people of today for what their ancestors or organizations did in the past is just plain stupid.

OP holds a point though; what happens today matters significantly more than what happened centuries, decades, hell, even a week ago. Yes, history is important, always remember it, but _learn_ from it too; and that's different from dwelling, something that can be a poisonous practice if allowed to go on. I honestly cannot give a remote amount of a shit for either party, Republican or Democrat. They both hold points, they both get shit wrong, because they're both a party of _people_ at the heart of it. Whatever they were or did centuries before doesn't impact me in any way, so why should that factor into my opinions of either of them here and now?

+Me&My Мемасы There are news stations all around the globe that are still more or less impartial. The state run news channel is by far one of the most viewed in my country (Switzerland). If they send anything political they will give time to different point of views. e.g. We have a weekly format that invites politicians from all over the place to discuss things that are of current interest to the public for 1.5 hours with extra specialists on that particular topic. You will even learn a thing or two from a point of view you didn't consider, because let's be honest: we all live in our bubble. All of us. It's also interesting because I'm slightly more open to others opinions than my wife (She's an Anarcho-Communist and I'm more of a far-far left guy.(Don't hate us :P We will let you belief what you want!)) and we often end up discussing about the topic ourselves.

Sorry to say, but yes, the FBI as an organization can have a "personal vendetta", because the FBI is an organization made up of people. If the majority of people in an organization, or the majority of the leadership of an organization, take actions against someone or something in a vengeful manor, then that organization CAN be said to have a "personal" vendetta against said person or thing, even though we are talking about a multitude of people because those people act as one through the organization. If you want an example: The US could have been said to have a personal vendetta against Al Qaeda after 9/11, because the majority of people in the nation, including leadership, were wronged by said group. The nuances of English can be hard to understand, and sometimes it doesn't always make sense, but that's how we speak. Look up "corporate personhood".

People can be racist and bigoted even without this kind of interference, but the specific kind of racism and bigotry that allowed Trump and the Internet Nazis (also known as the Alt-Right) to rise to power is something that has been deliberately stoked by people who are at best two degrees of separation away from actual neo-Nazis.

Top wow, you're being extremely vague. And authoritarianism is not necessarily a bad thing in every instance. Outlawing murder is authoritarian because it's authoritative in it, so unless you're a full-on anarchist (and some do argue against having any system of law) then everyone agrees with some level of authoritarianism, and it's a matter of how much is too much and how little is too little. What's acceptable and what is not. Someone like Oliver is about center in terms of libertarianism vs. authoritarianism, or thereabouts. I will however disagree with the OP that Oliver is the most trustworthy source. That's just preposterous. He's good at muckraking and digging up things which people don't talk about enough, but there are plenty of independent outlets and people who do investigative journalism, people who deserve much more credit by Oliver's own admission. Not to mention, but LWT can engage in some disingenuous bullshit from time to time (ex. presenting Jill Stein as an anti-vaxxer (she just isn't. She has her problems, like saying that Obamacare wasn't a step in the right direction, but she's not that much of a crank) and acting like the biggest issues with Tim Kaine are that he's "boring" and a white guy (not his horrendous stances on the TPP or bank regulation)). John Oliver is imperfect in my honest opinion--not because I disagree with his politics (I'm a progressive, though probably a bit more left and libertarian leaning).

The man clearly has an agenda that does not seem to be his own and his connections to the Russians leads be to believe that he may be connected to some type of “New world Order” organization. Either that or he is an extraterrestrial or controlled by some extraterrestrial power. I also think his tweets are relaying secret messages to his peers. Why else would he continue to tweet when it obviously is hurting his presidency? I think that’s how he is secretly communicating with others. I think the Washington Post and the New York Times should be looking at this angle, there is a story here somewhere.

Individuals can be reasonable, but he drove his followers into being a mob, and the mob is an unreasonable beast especially when driven by the hate and fear mongering rhetoric he spewed. People suddenly felt here is someone who cares about my concerns and they ignored his heinous views, actions, and statements because of that perceived care. So now we are stuck with a president who thought running a country of over 300 million people, with a 12 trillion dollar+ annual GDP, and managing the defense, infrastructure and institutions of that country would be easier than his previous job. In other words, a delusional moron. Amazing what a demagogue can accomplish innit? In the past they have led countries to morally repugnant wars, genocide, and just inhuman crimes. Pretty impressive for what would amount to a greasy used car salesman if they never encountered the right situation to used their skills.

Its easy to walk out even if you are married. My mom just literally left with us OUT THE DOOR and someone gave us a plane ticket.

Back in the early 80s anyways, then the courts wizened up and said "No, being an abusive human shaped pile of excrement is not forgiven by you tricking someone into marrying you." Now abuse, violence, and rape are not nullified because someone got conned into marriage. No one has the right to abuse or rape anyone period. I'm saddened it took this long for the courts to catch up and say this is not okay.
@jessicalee333
@jessicalee333 6 років тому
BillMcD the debate over whether it can be rape if someone is married was still going on in the '90s. Nowadays, Dirk is still largely right, the definition of "rape" for married people is a lot more narrowly defined in most states. It was very sad to watch how many people around the country were absolutely MYSTIFIED by the notion that a spouse could be raped. In general, marriage increases men's life expectancy, and reduces women's (not just because of abuse though).
@RacconAndMT
@RacconAndMT 6 років тому
ADP VLJ I'd actually make the argument that walking out of a marriage is maybe even easier, at least if you're a woman. Divorce courts in the Western world are extremely biased against men, they're extremely trigger-happy with restraining orders, and family courts in the U.S. work with preponderance of the evidence, instead of proof beyond reasonable doubt. However, as ridiculous as his statement sounds, there may be some truth to it. Marriage is the quickest way out of poverty, as the disposable income of the couple increases drastically, due to a huge reduction in spending (for example, living in one slightly bigger flat instead of 2 slightly smaller ones, sharing one car instead of having 2, etc.). Extra disposable income means moving to a better neighbourhood, sending your kid to a good highschool and maybe even college, moving up the social ladder, etc. Getting out of poverty means a lower likelyhood of committing crimes, a lower rate of alcoholism and susbtance abuse, etc. On the other hand, single motherhood is the quickest way into poverty, I imagine I don't need to explain why. So, while the relationship is not direct, what he said might be true. I'm not sure if he himself knows it though :P Jessica Lee "In general, marriage increases men's life expectancy, and reduces women's" Ever heard the sentence "correlation does not equal causation"?

Also, Big Up to Deadspin for their video. 👏👏👏👌👍

@nicholasrodinos4701
@nicholasrodinos4701 3 роки тому
I honestly don't know how people can be offended by the concept of trigger warnings. You have to try to offended by trigger warnings. Trigger warnings for stuff like: sexual assault, graphic violence, various forms of bigotry or just visual/audio effects that might have a negative impact on someone's health are just useful. If someone is triggered by sexual assault (possibly because they were a victim of it) then they know to avoid it, same thing with the graphic violence thing. And visual/audio effects can be dangerous, do we need to have another 'Electric Soldier Porygon' Incident, and audio can cause nausea via Infrasound. Honestly I think conservatives are mad that they can't scream their bigoted nonsense so they scream about everyone else being offended, while they're mad that they can't directly scream racial slurs.

@charlesfrederick2510
@charlesfrederick2510 6 років тому
Just a heads-up - If the video has more likes than views, that's because UKposts requires that you watch a certain amount of the video before it's counted as a view, while likes can be counted immediately. Therefore, likes will appear before views and so the like-to-view ratio will be higher. Approximately 50% of the comments anywhere are now unnecessary.
@DuranmanX
@DuranmanX 6 років тому
which is unfortunate, because I already saw it on HBO, but it liked the UKposts video, and am not going to watch it again, so there could be a very lopsided like to watch ratio
@1234kalmar
@1234kalmar 6 років тому
The real reason is how UKposts only adds views t the count in batches, not right after the fact, but nice try. :)
@9bladesofice
@9bladesofice 6 років тому
The lag is somewhat of UKposts trying to verify that the views are legitimate before just saying 100,000 people or whatever the number it is watched the video. If it's featured on tv anywhere that UKposts video has a good reason to have tons of views. It helps to stop people from making their video have tons of fake views except where UKposts somewhat messed up where people have now named themselves "1,000,000 views" or something and then people get tricked. All that to say it's also verification and UKposts has problems haha.

Pig Mage brov if you wanna see actual corruption come into any post soviet country. In russia it has become normal to give money to a police officer so that he doesn't give you a ticket. You can literally pay 15k in dollars to a military official to skip the mandatory military service, and it will cost you around 10k in dollars to bribe a judge (fees may vary on the severity). this is corruption, people expressing ideas foreign to yours and capitalism isnt corruption. I agree that monopolies are a cancer to deal with but they arent corrupt unless the businesses straight up pay the government to ignore the fact that there is a monopoly (this shit happens a lot in post soviet countries too).
