Also, I don’t think serious discussion and factual reporting are the same thing. Serious discussion implies you want to hear both sides, which inevitably will be a dumpster fire. Factual reporting however will be boring. Also, some issues just don’t have “both sides”, they are just facts. But nobody wants facts anymore, there are two sides to everything. Remember when SNL had Point/Counterpoint? Jane, you ignorant slut! WGN America’s NewsNation is pretty non-partisan, but it ends up being boring. I predict it will go the way of Quibi. And that’s the way it is, October 23, 2020.

Serious news is boring. Boring doesn't sell advertising. Tucker Carlson just made mean comments about an NBC reporter. NBC issued an official statement that Tucker's a lying meanie pants. Is this the news or the WWF? I've been peaking haphazardly at a site called "The Factual". They're using an algorithm to give articles a credibility grade. Almost every article is rated between 60-80% credible. Occasionally you'll see one approaching 50% or 90%. Should I be happy or sad that our news is generally 3/4 credible?

Shes the best moderator I've seen in my time watching debates. This was amazing. So after the fact I'm looking for punditry, switching between the big 3 (tiny 2 CNN MSNBC and max fox) and it's what I expect from each. Where would I go if I want to watch some serious discussion? Also I dont care who you are, joe is right on daca, and I wish nancy and chuck hadn't brick walled trump on the same thing. It's time we stop using daca humans and capital.
