rape town changes its slogan

[OverVolt]

Sorry, I only have a 7th grade reading level and zinfamous is an uneducated retard. You're on your own

It wasn't necessary now I'm probably on some kind of shit list :awe:

I'm not actually asking what canola is, I'm pointing out that the article can't seem to stay consistent on this point. First they say canola is a variety of rapeseed, but then they say that canola has vastly supplanted rapeseed production in the town.

Journalism school, for when you can't use logic but still want to control what other people think.

Journalism, for when the College of Education is whipping your ass but you still want a degree.

Not me. I don't keep shit lists.

So, the problem with a weak media today is to assume that it is unfixable and label all of those that aspire towards journalism as useless losers?

Might want to read your post and clean it up a bit. Right now its question makes no logical sense. Observing a fact in no way implies that it is unchangeable; it is merely an observation. And I wouldn't claim that all who aspire to be journalists are useless losers. A great deal of them are in it to control society.

To be fair, I doubt an awful lot of people who write for online news sites have journalism degrees.

Would it make you feel better if I said right wingers use the media to manipulate people too?

Tisdale is a beautiful little town, great community to live in

Sorry, but the blame lies on any townfolks dumb enough to advertise as the "land of rape and honey"--you know, those signs are expressly there to summarize your town's quality for those "unpleasant outsider types" who are unfortunate enough to be visiting, much less simply passing through.

And you goddamn know that if you were driving through Whatsitville you would have stopped to take a photo of that sign, with a thumbsup, maybe, or a disgust/shocked expression, and facebooked it for your entire clan.

Your false rage projected at the wrong audience is quite insulting, I must say.

Tehn be insulted, no one fucking cares.

Hahahaha

Um, "ultra-right superparanoia"? As Exophase says, this is not simply a left wing problem. Since the Vietnam war, journalism has become advocacy-oriented. The right has Fox News, and the left has . . . Well, pretty much everyone except Fox News. As for how I inform myself, I look for the ones I consider better than most (Christian Science Monitor, CFR, NPR, ABC Radio News, the Beeb) as well as looking at what each side's agitproppers are spouting. If it's an issue of importance to me, then I try to go back to primary sources as much as possible. I listen to CNN Headline News in the morning, and if I'm home (very seldom) I'll catch Brett Baier on Fox News.

OK, so you do find great use in journalism. I read your earlier comments as all-inclusive of journalists being either college-aged losers or control-oriented fascists.

Yes, of course there are rampant problems all over media, but what I read was "set fire to the whole thing and let's just forget it ever happened" type of solution.

If I watch news on TV it's HLN, all the rest are trash.

Its not really fake. People just aren't educated anymore, like you I guess since you don't understand.

Sometimes one definition of a word is powerful enough that other uses fall out of favor.

No one really refers to happy people as "gay" anymore.

Especially if you like rape and honey. And rape.

Spoiler

Yes, I said rape twice...

Dunno I'd say great use. It's more like only having a piece of flint, but really needing to get to the meaty goodness of today's kill without eating singed fur . . .

HLN in the morning - at some point in the day it too becomes trash.

Nobody has ever been raped in Tisdale
People in Tisdale talk about rape everyday
