Certainly.
I'll see if I can find an article talking about a small business owner taking on a university over textbooks, or something. University slanders the business as some offensive thing or other, and the faculty are quoted "we should unleash the students on them."

Lots of reasons, starting with the absurd comparison to nukes, which are still a present danger. Then I don't think that the Chauvin verdict and BLM, which this is referring to, is really tearing down the country, if anything it is a reflection of the political rifts and the authoritarian strain within society, not a cause of it. I also don't think that video or narrative were faulty, but that's probably besides the two larger points.
This wasn't referring to chauvin Floyd because that was a murder hat everyone saw and that cop should be punished justly.
This is referring to the media lying on multiple accounts and directing people at objects/people/ideas without presenting the facts.
I dont beat around bushes. I mow em down. If I was referring to that case I would said so.

I see, my apologies, a lot of people have been talking about the Chauvin case today, so I presumed you did as well.
What specific situations are you referring to with the media lying and directing mobs?
Well, just the current medias race baiting and blatant lying and cnn got caught cropping a video.
And before I go on this next part, I want you to fully understand something so that we can fully have a legitimate conversation without it going sideways into race.
I am white, I am neither a Republican or a Democrat, I actively call both sides out when I feel like they are lying.my mother was a crackhead, I spent 6 years as an adopted child by a black family. I equally love and hate human beings of all colors. My family is currently a mix between whites, Puerto Ricans and black Americans. I have a cousin thats a Police Officer and I have a cousin that got caught with a quarter pound of methamphetamine a few months ago. I love and learn from both of them equally.
Now, back to CNN (and I am not a fan of FOX either)cropping t the video with the 13 year old. Why would they do that? To fit a narrative of course. Why is the first thing you see in a shooting the color of the victim/aggressor? To start conflict.
Why is there not a news station that just reports the facts and the news? Why is the Coronavirus such a political standpoint. Democrats equal masks and Republicans are antimasks? Wtf? This should be dealt with by science, not politics.
What is more detrimental to us as a whole? A 3 mile wide radius of land that we can not step in, or another generation of people that have been driven to conflict with other human beings based off of race baiting and media driven conflict. Keep in mind, that radiation will wear off eventually, while that racism will be taught to another generation, and another and another.
Tbh, I agree with you, the media is partisan, it gets often caught lying, it has a very strong pro-business bias, and it thrives on controversy and fear. And both Democrats and Republicans suck, though not quite in equal measures.
But the problem with nuclear weapons is not a single nuclear weapon being used, it is the potential for annihilation of the whole human species, or at least the vast majority of it and its achievements, in the matter of a few minutes (though admittedly the death of the species will be drawn out over a few months).

Being pro-mask is backed by science. Being anti-mask is moronically politicizing a pandemic and anti-science. YW
It is questionable if Dr. Faucinis going by science anymore. He is kind of a backtracked.
And obviously complete, worldwide nuclear holocaust is worse than lying media. Didnt think that needed to be said. I was going more like one or two nukes being fired and in a long term sense.
Racism and things like that may last well beyond the use of nuclear weapons and into the next few generations of warfare.

Science is a process/method.
You make guesses then gather data to see how you did.
We have the data pre and post mask, it didn't help.
We also have pre and post lockdown numbers, millions died due to the lockdowns, NOT COVID.
"Trust the science" is a manufactured adage to get people to trust the state. It allows the statist to seem objective and more secular.
This ignores the fact that our collective epistemic pool of knowledge expands it's borders through dissent, retesting, argumentation, etc.
It's not like science is the 10-20 doctors that keep showing up on legacy media, while other doctors who disagree with the status quo are silenced.
I'm pro science too, the mask shit is dogmatism.

You could have just said "I'm an anti-masker".
Science, let alone logic, does not support your beliefs. eg All those doctors and nurses who wears masks on a regular basis as a first layer of defense, do it because it's not useless.
