Honestly I had no idea the shooting in Colorodo even happened until I just happened to see a thread on /pol/ about it, where the was OP baiting people about how a Fascist was killed.
Complete radio scilence from any media an average person would use to get their news.
It wasn't exactly buried, but it wasn't exactly showcased either.
The news can't tell you what to think, but it can tell you what to think about!
When I first saw the story I was working and thought that it was a trump supporter/proud boy had shot an antifa/blm. They didn't exactly make it clear. To be fair, I don't think they knew exactly what was going on either at the time, as witnessed by the two archives I got, one at the beginning of the news cycle, and the other one almost 24 hours later. The shooter went from blm/antifa to pinkerton soycurity in less than a day. The Daily Mail is a shit rag of a newspaper with shit trickle down media whores. They just go off what their sources tell them.
Here's my post with those archives if you want to know how the DM at least reported on it. A page or so back Flidaroonie posted another article from them. I wasn't going to post, even though I had archived, but there ya go...
I often archive stuff throughout the day when I'm working and taking a coffee break. I often don't post it. It's 'just in case' kind of stuff. In fact, the original archive wasn't done by me. Someone is really on the ball with archiving this shit as that happens quite often. I always update the archive just in case, and in this case it was well worth it.
There's a gray line in web journalism where you aren't supposed to change the story once its been posted. I forget the name for it now. It's ripe for abuse. The BBC do it all the time. When they see an article get kick back they change content. Naughty naughty. But in the case of the DM it's more a case of them being too lazy to change the URI and just updating the story (nothing nefarious) - this was a case in point.
This stuff is buried, but it's also out there if you are a bit of a news hound. The DM might be shitty scum bags, but it's the best of a bad show I'm afraid. There is a tab at the top which says 'US News' or something, click on that and you get surprisingly good results. How do I know? Well, I'm ahead of them in the scraping and combing game. There are certain sites that have seriously autistic newshounds working for free. And the DM journos crib that work. I crib that work. Sometimes they crib my work. It's ok. It's an unwritten rule not for any of us to call anyone else out or name sources, unless seriously called out our selves. The DM reporters earn a living from this though, where as most of us do it for fun. I've seen several main page articles in the DM shamelessly cribbing months of research I've done on things like the G Maxwell/Epstein thing. That is why I can't post stuff here in these forums because I put it up elsewhere and I will doxx myself. It's ok. Like most of us newshounds, we do it for fun, and some of us even do it for higher reasons, like, you know, getting the fucking news out there!
I'm actually frendos with some of the guys I crib a lot of my work off. Yet I don't tell them and they don't know it's me. What a fucking hoot! It's them you have to thank for a lot of the more serious stuff and resources I post here. It's not my work. I cribbed it. But it's not like a fucking essay or something. I know that they do this to spread the word. Also, and it has to be repeated, just because we post shit, doesn't mean we endorse it or are pushing it. I think the fine folks of Kiwi Farms know that better than anywhere else on the net, but it's worth mentioning.
At the end of the day ConfederateIrishman, a site like Kiwifarms is about as good as it gets for keeping up with the news. You have several autistic spastics working in a network with other autistic spastics, and it's rare for a major event to occur and for one of us not to report on it within 5/10 minutes. 20 minutes tops. It's probably the most efficient news aggregator network on the planet. Sometimes even aggregating the aggregators. I've not just seen my work stolen by the DM, it's been cribbed by the BBC as well. And I've seen my fellow newshounds' work cribbed as well. They are fucking shameless. They report the news, but we drive the news far more than many people realise.
My little 'call to arms' for peoples' TOP 10 of events might fall on deaf ears, or it may just get a few participants. But rest assured, everyone loves a list, and though they will change it slightly, just by making that list, it will appear in some kind of form in some other news outlet.
You see, the secret is, there isn't that many major news distributors on the planet. You could make a TOP 10 of them and that would be 90 percent of that. And what's more, there aren' that many news aggregators left, and you could make a TOP 10 of them as well and that would be at least 80 percent of it. Those sites are secret. Not because we make money from this or gain power, but because once you reveal your source they go to ground or in KF parlance: DFE.
But the net is closing in. The shit that is happening that null has been talking about is a real danger. It could all be switched off tomorrow. But they probably won't because the internet is the greatest neural network bio-feedback machine for propaganda that humanity has ever known. They are studying us. Every word we type here is backed up on RAID systems in quadruplicate or more. They study us the way some people study ant farms. Except we grow Kiwis...
But that won't stop fuckwits like Trump et al from raising it to the ground via ignorance. I say that as a Trump supporter (kind of ).
As for the news, blink and you missed it. Thank heavens for little autists. They can be annoying as shit most the time, but if you can take a bit of rough with your smooth, the smooth generally outweighs the rough. But even autists have their limits. I think here on the farms it's got quite a few HFA types (high functioning), where as /pol/ they are bit further along the spectrum. It's just a different grade of nuclear weaponized autism. Sometimes you need Tsar Bomba, sometimes you need Davy Crockett.
Well, I know what fucking stickers I'm getting for this one!
Hit me up.
I just happened to see a thread on /pol/
/pol/ is one of the main aggregators, I think everyone knows that. But there are people here who aggregate them. And this site is easier to navigate, and you have more high functioning spergs who boil shit down for you. Kiwifarms is more tactical nuke, /pol/ is more strategic, if that makes sense. We are kissin' cousins and never the twain shall meet.
TL;DR: Just log on to Kiwifarms bro' for you daily dose of reality. No need for that /pol/ shit. And oh yeah...
IT WAS THE FUCKING JEWS!!!
