      "Journalism" is a writing style, not an ethical set of rules. I groan at work when I hear "I follow the Science" when "Science" is a generic term for the study of phenomena. The implied ethics there is also a hoot.

    This film is a perfect representation of postmodernism. It's impossible for anyone in Hollywood today to write a movie about a civil war or any war. Modern Hollywood writers and producers are historically and reality illiterate. None of them has studied wars, especially civil wars, and how they get started or why they are fought. NONE OF THEM has ever been in war, served in the military (and i'll go one step farther, I doubt they even know anyone who has). A film about war from people who have only seen other films about war and talked about war on social media. It's a surface level understanding of war, journalism, and civil strife from people who have no experience or interest in really exploring ANY of those concepts.

      Yeah. No they aren’t. These civil war journalists could’ve been people who happen to see what’s actually happening in a civil war torn country. My gta verse version of civil war could’ve been a country torn by corporate war that a new war emerged and some collaborators took over the capital city, and there’s secessionist states who want to govern themselves. Especially states who were divided before invasion by some outside forces. Ala. Russian Ukrainian war of our real world. It created a more divided nation.

Or stood by and made excuses for paroled felons who assault, rape, or murder innocent citizens while stripping them of the ability to defend themselves? Damn your feelings about the other side's beliefs. You can say a lot of things about the right, especially on the extremes, but they are not the one right now who are so morally unhinged that they will say, or do anything to achieve their social agenda.

They tried to tell Americans these shows and the people hosting them were "Truth" and as such, there is no debate to be had.
      Is it any wonder people are turning them off and instead, looking at numerous Independent Sources for actual news??? But even some of the bigger Independent News Sources are becoming overly biased to certain issues/subjects. After a while, you won't be able to trust anyone for unbiased news unless the Govt. (FCC), steps in (scary) and regulates these news sources and demands they "label" their shows either "News Reporting" or "News Opinion".

    The largest part of California will not choose to stay with the coastal morons. I promise. And the idea that Idahoe would ally with Washington State and Oregon is RIDICULOUS.

It's easy to speak candidly behind a screen of anonymity, like we do here, but once we go to work and have to leave that screen behind, we shut up or run the risk of losing our jobs.
