I want dull news. Just tell/show me what happened and get the hell out of the way. I don't need personalities, opinions, sensationalism, etc.

Be clear, thorough and unbiased.

Unfortunately, the last bit is tough in the world of network owners and advertisers.

Its as simple as this, do you think the Sandy Hook massacre took place? Y/N


If yes, the Alex Jones is a sack of #### in your eyes. If no, then you are a sack of #### right along with him.


I don't need some billionaire owned media to tell me this.

Just when I thought there was an issue on which 100% of CP could agree, Alex f###ing Jones found his white knight.

It was only a matter of time.

Edit: it appears that this was from 2019.

It was also from people spamming the infowars email with the pictures, not like they were saved by him. As much as I hate to defend him, that's not on him.

Ah, but can't we use Jones' own standards of evidence against him?

Fact: Alex Jones has images of naked children in his email.
Conclusion: Alex Jones is a pedophile who kidnaps kids and is trying to use them to create a goat-human hybrid. These hybrids will be trained as nazi super-soldiers and unleashed in a horrific rape-torture armageddon financed and led by Jimmy Carter.

I was out with my wife at a party last week and was talking to this really nice lady with a good professional background. Conversation was really chill, but then as the number of drinks increased our conversation about health concerns with the vaccine slid into her talking about Bill Gates and global population control, then the moon landing being fake, then the dark side of the moon being populated by another species that is being kept hidden from us. It was mind blowing to actually hear someone really believing some of what she was saying. One of the most memorable conversations I've had recently, and really makes me wonder how many other people there are around me on a daily basis who have beliefs like that.

They are indeed everywhere, my brother in law is a flat earther.

Surely unrelated, he is also a heavy pot smoker and obsessed with pot

His latest FB post this morning: How do you explain they have a mega telescope to take details of galaxies million of light years away and they can't take close pictures of the moon.

Do your parents believe this kind of stuff, too, or are you the only independent thinker in your family?

sensationalism of news is tragic; however, there is utility in providing opinions on events from experts in the matter.

Also, exposes and other long form journalism - while may be biased - is extremely important.

The world is a complicated place, and sometimes we need more than the 5 W's

I have found that many more people are willing to engage in conspiratorial talk than I would anticipate, they're just trained to be guarded about it. I have discovered this because i have taken a large interest in the UAP thing and enjoy bringing it up every once in a while during party conversations. But inevitably, if I begin this couched totally in public disclosure, interest in why this is happening now, do aliens really exist, etc. it devolves more frequently than I am comfortable with into lizard people and pedophiles.

What I’m hearing is that people who believe in aliens also love pedophiles.

Not unexpected.

Yes, because as John Wayne Gacy taught us, every clown is a psychopath murderer.
