--- Quote ---Otherwise, people could just vote whatever they wanted to happen. --- End quote --- Very unlikely, unfortunately. Or perhaps luckily, given what some people want! The problem is you can't vote for a single thing. Well, you can, but doing so drags along several pages full of other manifesto commitments, many of which you might prefer to vote against in preference to the thing you want to vote for. There is also the small problem of not being able to vote for something that isn't on offer. If, for instance, neither of the main parties in the UK say they will ban excessive profits from motorway service stations then no-one will be able to vote for that regardless of who they align behind. |

Some of my friends who work in the infotainment industry tried to impress on me years ago what it was and that it wasn't "news". I should have listened to them earlier. I would have saved myself a lot of frustration. --- Quote from: james_s on April 26, 2022, 11:59:05 pm ---Are newspapers still a thing? I get most of my news online, I browse a variety of news sites and try to interpolate the true story from what I find. I don't spend a lot of time on news though, most of it is depressing stuff I can't control anyway. --- End quote --- |

--- Quote from: SiliconWizard on April 27, 2022, 05:11:05 pm ---Yes of course they are. But if you only use their online counterparts, that's still the same content. Problem is that the major ones, almost worldwide, have stopped being independent and almost all belong to large groups/billionaires with definite political agendas and tight links with governments. That's not good. --- End quote --- I typically read the online text versions of the local TV news stations, I used to read some of the local newspapers online years ago but I think they all went behind paywalls at which point I stopped. The same problem of belonging to large groups with agendas is true to both though. |

Edit: I am not suggesting newspapers are the only source, but I'd like to know of a more credible source - if there isn't one then in writing off newspapers is a bit silly since whatever source you do use will be no better and probably worse. --- End quote --- what's facebook? |

The UN invited in the corporations.. due to the withdrawals of state funding.. |
