Finally someone who threatened to leave did so.
rosie o’donnell took her fat ass and useless rants to Ireland where she can live among people hovering under a growing cloud of government intervention threatening free speech and getting worse by the day.
The dumb ass claims she looks forward to living among free people and will come back when America is safer.
Fuck her and her useless, idiotic, bullshit.
I hope the door did hit her in the ass on the way out.

Apparently her definition of "equal rights" isn't exactly reality

I wonder if she is Catholic. If not, she'll probably be back in short order.
-
These people don't believe in God, not anything wholesome and good. She'll be back "visiting" for long stretches. She's disgusting and a complete idiot.

Or ready to convert to Islam.

It's easy to be hypocritical when you're rich.

Like anyone gives a shit she’s leaving! Ego problem if she has to announce it, look at me look at me! Sheryl Crowe needs to leave too worthless piece of crap.

Most of Media and Hollywood needs to leave.

Anthony is right, except for the part where the media has become a joke, and hollywood is not only irrelevant, but unprofitable.

Anybody else noticing a trend here? Legacy media, cable news and the old three, are absolutely tanking, as they are way behind in the news cycle. You get up to the second news flow on X and they simply cannot compete.
But the X phenomenon is also having an effect on podcasters and YouTubers. I used to get my morning news from Styxhexxenhammer when he was in the Netherlands and posted the news wrap ups by the time I woke up. Since he's been back in the U.S. he's now late, and I already learn everything from X by the time he posts, plus his analysis has weakened due to personal problems in his life.
Other YouTubers/Rumblers I used to watch for news like Matt Walsh, Ben Sharpiro, Russell Brand, etc. I'm losing interest in because at this point they are never the first time I've heard of an event. Although they will put analytical spin on it that is still sometimes worth it.
Information flow is changing very rapidly. Where the big three (ABC, NBC, CBS) had it locked for generations, then "cable" joined in for a few decades, then the internet crept in and that triggered an explosion in news access - with a huge blip of heavy censorship ramping up and peaking with covid, the 2020 steal, and just before Elon bought Twitter, but now that's been corrected. Platforms continuing the censorship are fading into irrelevence but I also see a downward trend in pre-recorded media and livestreams. Even livestreams can't keep up unless they're simply passing along continual reading of X.
Am I on to something? Or is this just a perception based on my own bias?

It's real. And a basic function of the MSM news format. Even if they had up to the second information, they are still stuck with a talking head telling you about it for at least five minutes. If it's something you may not be interested in, there's no way to skip it and move on to the next thing. With X you can scroll past the stuff you don't care about. Takes maybe 1/2 second or less. Keep scrolling until you find the right topic and then spend some time on it.
Until MSM can break that format, and I don't see how that's possible, it can never compete with X or any other multi-band streaming content service.

Exactly. Said talking head better be entertaining in their own right and worth sitting through for more than just the news. The long form interviews are good, but that's not for the purpose of getting the up to the minute news, but maybe talking about it along with all sorts of other subjects. Joe Rogan, Lex Fridman, Jordan Peterson, and Bill Maher all fall into this category.
But for actual news events, the X scrolling is the best to be up to date, although can be shallow and broad. Maybe also damaging our attention spans. SOOOOOOOOOOO many comments are just bottom of the barrel stupid. But I guess that's what you get when you get to see real time general public stream of consciousness. Most people can't think more than one layer deep, if what they post on X is any indication.

Drudgereport was my got0 for breaking news, usually before it hit the mainstream, then Drudge went woke when DJT wa elected.

Drudge was great for the long-form up to the second news. But once it went far left I lost interest. CNN was a response to the once-a-day 6 o'clock news. A great attempt to get current news out there within the broadcast format. Then it found that it had to fill the gaps between actual news and that's where it went mostly opinion.
There are flaws to the X format. The news is indeed fast, but it's still human-based. That human has biases and a limited view of the situation. If you were to act on the first thing that comes out, you're subject to that bias. Fortunately, you can keep scrolling and find many more viewpoints of the same event. And through it all you may have a complete picture of what's going on. Comments on the first post also help provide context. Unfortunately, as you said, most are bottom of the barrel stupid. It takes a lot of focus to separate the wheat from the chaff.
It's indeed an interesting time we're living in. Platforms like X are changing the way we perceive the world. I am VERY VERY VERY happy that it's finally balanced.

Exactly. Usually there is a lot of context missing. You always need to know context but it’s like people are too stupid to even be aware there’s such a thing as context, like for example something that happened just before the video recording started, that flips the whole thing on its head.

Exactly exactly! Like when you see a clip of something Trump says that's outrageous. Then someone posts "here's the whole clip so you can see the context of the short thing" and find out that Trump was saying exactly the opposite of what the clip says. Like "We're going to put a 200% tariff on booze" and the whole clip says "No way we're going to put a 200% tariff on booze". Context is everything, but beware of those who are ignorant of it or purposely leave it out. Unfortunately people are too stupid to wait for the context before reacting.

Great take on an ugly subject.
