    This video is so true, my dad's only news source is Fox News and he watches it all day. The biggest problem I have with it is how much of Fox News is opinion while only a conservative voice is present. Without any opposition to call out logical errors or disagree in any way, increasingly extreme and ignorant ideas are normalized. It takes effort to form an argument and disagree, it's much easier to go along with what the person on TV is saying and when you watch for hours and hours a day, being critical of the ideas is difficult.

Who decides how a post is either left, neutral or right, what do they base their choice on, what exactly does left or right mean for/in ground news and how can I be sure If they (gn) aren't also paid to show or have a certain bias?
    I guess you never can be sure about any news source etc., but since I mostly trust this channel and you decided to sponsor the app I wanted to hear from you why you think they might be different, or how the prove they are "innocent".

    As someone who watched incredible misandry get spread through memes at my very liberal college, and knowing that a lot of the guys who attended with me are still effected by having that level of hate against us be protected but knowing that any type of backlash against the women and men who spread this hate regularly would cause us serious social and even academic repercussions. I still see it in media. There is a show called fuckboy island, but a show called “bitch island” or “slut island” would never be permitted on modern platforms. It’s more serious than a lot of us realize. UA-cam also only accepts reports for slandering “protected” groups, and men are not included in this. This means that false ideas and hateful propaganda have a very easy pathway on UA-cam IF they target certain “un-protected” groups

But not everyone knows how to recognize logical fallacies and we are not perfect, we can always fall for those things. I think we shouldn't americanize news channels on other countries. Altought I'm not saying that news channels are neutral to politics, It's harder for a channel to have an explicit political view when there are 8 or 10 political parties with very different points of views in a certain country, than when there are only 2 like in America. Good news channels still exist, especially in less polarized countries.

    The one I've always wanted to know is "How do I deal with alternative opinions" when my opinion is "I want to live" and the alternative is "someone thinks I should die..." I know this seems extreme, but I grew up gay in the deep south - I have a vivid memory of my sex ed teacher telling the class that the only cure for AIDs was to kill all HIV+ people and "sexual deviants." I remember even at 14 I knew what he meant... He had reasons to believe this, he had science and credible sources to believe that massacring gay people was morally correct, but I just can't bring myself to listen to that. I can't agrue with people who's opinions of gay and trans people advocate cruelty - no matter what they say, it goes against my very core beliefs to belive that repression, segregation, and even outright *genocide* can be okay... I can engage in disagreement, but I have no idea how to respond to the increasing belief that people like me should "just go die."
    I suppose this conversation about propaganda envokes this fear in me because it was the most common belief I heard growing up when it came to gay people. That we're all just brainwashed, that if we'd just listen to facts we'd understand why we deserve to die. Part of me still wonders if that's true... It's a scary thought, that if you break your "programming" you might actually be talked into suicide...

    Even the idea that Communism ever existed in any community larger than the Paris Commune is propaganda - both from the Soviets and the West. A planned economy isn't communist, unless this planning is subject to a democratic process. Socialism and thereby also communism is foremost defined by a democratic control of the means of production. An authoritarian state cannot be socialist (and therefore also not communist, since that is a style of socialism) per definition.
