Nah, Steve Bannon and Robert Redford.

Apologies for assigning a position you say you don't hold.

Crime on crime is what it is, it's not left or right, it's just my take on it. Criminals killing criminals isn't newsworthy on a national scale, especially in politics, which is what MSM focuses on. Chicago and Baltimore being the current political focus.

Its a billion dollar industry that only cares about perception, to hell with reality.

Sorry for the typos, using my phone and I have sausage fingers and my eyesight is poor.

Or white on white?

Why focus on Chicago anyway St Louis IL has 5x the murder rate of Chicago and is more than double Baltimore.

Isn't politically convenient enough for you I guess.

How about Chester PA, or St. Lois, MO. Or Gary,IN..or whilmington DE

None of those states get covered much, if at all, because no one gives a damn unless they can monetize it.

As for being left, personally I'm more good idea/ retarded idea. Neither party is doing well on the good idea side.

Either way we're screwed.

Often because it's crime on crime. Doesn't quite fit the gun control narrative about people buying weapons for the sole purpose of killing a bunch of people.

Crime on crime shootings are just tools of the trade and while Innocents do get harmed but it's generally criminal adjacent (family/friends of criminals).

Doesn't get as much sympathy as someone shooting up a mall, school, or church. Which means it doesn't get much interest, which means airtime for less ad revenue.

Dunno where you got your cultural convention, but having sex with a minor sure as hell goes against mine.

They also feed off of one another.

Bs vid, debunk vid, bs reply, rinse repeat.

Sounds a lot like how most videos of whether the Earth is round or flat are mostly ones about it being flat.

Controversy gets more attention which turns into money.

Correct/incorrect doesn't come into play.

I see and deal with this stuff every day where I work. Companies are interested in what looks good on paper, not reality.

Unrealistic deadlines force cutting of corners, testing and code reviews are the first things to suffer. Then you have the accounting games where billable hours are against projects that weren't worked on. Basically robbing Peter to pay Paul in order to hide the fact that spending the money up front is way cheaper in the long run.

We've spent more money in man hours than it would have cost us to get the information from the local office, all billed to a project that has the funds

Putting all my money away for when the ---- hits the fan.

Itll be a llloooonggg time before before I sit my was in an automated anything.

No money in a cure, tons of it in treating symptoms that never go away.

If Trump was serious about it he would bypass Congress like he did with the funds for his wall.

That's why the saying goes "I'd rather be judged by 12 than carried by six".

About what expected as a response.

Or you know, instead of shutting it all off at once, we could try to make things more efficient and polute less while development on that stuff continues. Just a thought.

Of course it won't matter because (insert country of choice) isn't doing it so it doesn't matter right?

Same basic reason torture doesn't work...they tell you what you want to hear just to make it stop.

Again, free market.

YouTube doesn't like the content, not all that different(other than scale) than a baker refusing to bake a wedding cake for gay people, so why the double standard?

Like I said, short sighted and divisive, and I don't agree with it, but you can't have it both ways.

Again, free market. Or are you proposing that YouTube and Twitter provide free service that has no revenue to support the overhead?

I don't agree with the extent of what they are doing, it's dumb, short sighted, and divisive, but hey welcome to the new world.

Unintended consequences and all that.

Welcome to a free market.

YouTube and Twitter are businesses that sell advertising and content that drives advertisers away hits their bottom line...not sure what you expected, service for free?
