If it wasn’t clear before, it should be clear for everybody now; the ideological divide going on around the world is here to stay. With the recent news that alternative media types like Alex Jones, Milo Yiannopoulos, and Laura Loomer were banned off of Instagram and Facebook for good, tech companies have really showed their … Continue reading It’s Time to Drop Social Media
These past two weeks I’ve been using any free time I’ve had to edit together a video I took at an InfoWars rally in Austin, TX. I’ll leave the content of the video as a surprise, but be sure to look for the video on my Facebook and my YouTube, both of which are linked … Continue reading Future of Bermansplaining: Video Content, Podcasts, Interviews, and More?
Today's video flashback is for what I think is personally one of the greatest YouTube videos ever made. It's called Humans Need Not Apply, by one of the best YouTube channels CGP Grey. It warns of the impending societal and economic collapse we'll face if we continue to ignore mechanization and the threat technology imposes … Continue reading Flashback: Humans Need Not Apply
In New York today, a crazed man from Uzbekistan drove into a pedestrian bike lane, killing 8 and injuring more. He continued to get out of his car armed with weapons, but was incapacitated by the police with a shot to the stomach. He's currently being treated before he can be questioned, but I really … Continue reading Media Lies Have Spread to the U.S.
I’ve tried catching up on recent events lately through major news outlets, and I realized that I totally forgot how ineffective major sources are at covering actually relevant stories. While I was concerned about whether or not we’ll see an independent Catalonia or not, as well as looking for more news on the recent terror … Continue reading Why Modern News Feels So Ineffective
Today, CNN changed a headline covering Antifa from saying that “Antifa was fighting for peace with violence”, to “Unmasking the Leftist Antifa Movement”. It might not seem like much, but this sly title change is enough to totally recontextualize an entire movement. Time after time, the media has positioned hate groups like Black Lives Matter … Continue reading Why is the Media Defending Antifa?
If you’ve been on social media or read any news today, you’ve surely seen the firestorm of worry that has risen over the North Korea situation. Following the sanctions that were placed on the Hermit Kingdom, Kim Jong Un has spoken out against the U.S., claiming that North Korea would make America pay for being … Continue reading If War Broke Out With North Korea, Which Side Would the Media Take?
When musicians, actors, directors, and writers all echo the same constant violent rhetoric, it makes you stop and wonder why they made these statements to begin with. Sure, Madonna could have just been venting when she said she wants to blow up the White House, but what if just one of her fans didn’t think she was joking? What if that one person also loved the Avengers, and watched its director, Joss Whedon, gather all of his favorite superhero actors in one video that called the current president a crook, a villain, and a liar? What if that one person also follows Rachel Maddow on Twitter, and sees her day after day accuse the president of hacking the election with Russia?
For a long time now the keepers of old media have been trying their best to sink their already failing businesses even further into the depths of irrelevance. Publications like the New York Times and Washington Post put out false headline after false headline, and misreport so often I immediately scroll to the bottom of every article to read the corrections. The personalities of failing network news like CNN and Fox have had one career killing scandal after another. Its to the point where our president can yell, “FAKE NEWS” at a reporter, and most of America laughs and agrees with him.
