Why are we obsessed with destroying people's lives?

Why not cover something meaningful?

I am glad you asked.

And lets just stick with letsrun as an example.

It would have been meaning full to inform young runners about Covid 19 and yet the Brojos refused to do so. 7month later this country is in the biggest mess it ever had.

The Murdoch Press empire (Fox News is part of it) and the propaganda of the Koch brothers created all this mistrust in science and government.

The only ones creating mistrust in science are the narcissistic liberals hell bent on destroying people's lives. Who knows why they want to destroy everything and ruin the value of real science, but they do. They want a new society that does not challenge them and feels comfortable and they are willing to destroy anything to make that happen, including the lives of a generation of children:

Cancel the NYT, CNN, the Democrat party, and cancel culture and the world will win is so many ways; these people need to just be ignored and told no, you are wrong and not reliable....please stop and just go live your life without trying to harm everyone they don't like.

That said, this does not mean voting R is all that worthwhile; while both parties enable it, they are swindling the American people every day; 1.5 Trillion $ were just handed over to the banks back in March under the guise of corona relief, where did this bank money go, why was it needed...? You will get a load of worthless lies for answers.

This election year we have a choice:

1.) Vote for Trump - you get a jerky outsider who will continue to wreck the establishment and boom the economy

2.) Biden - A vote for continued hypocritical cancel culture and the change of society via the destruction of half of the people who live in it.

3.) Anyone Else - this is the correct choice, do not vote red or blue, cancel these two parties that have caused so much division and hurt so many generations of children

4.) Don't vote - the 2nd best choice, but not a great one - anything to reduce the fraction of the vote that the establishment receives will delegitimize it.

The country needs to move away from these parties, or parties at all; if people really want to deconsolidated power and mitigate the problems in this country they would stop voting for the system that enables them; vote for an independent candidate and we can build momentum that could free us all from this BS hell.

The government has been failing and lying about it since long before Kochs or Murdoch were involved. Perhaps you have heard of the VietNam War or the Diet-Heart hypothesis, which have resulted in the propaganda-induced deaths of millions?

Once upon a time ('60s and before) journalism actually pulled back the veil on such nefarious "science" and "facts". No more, they are now just the propaganda wing of the leftist Demobrats.

...inform young runners about COVID-19... lol. 7 months later ..biggest mess... lol. That’s what’s wrong with you and this country; there’s nothing to worry about but the damage between your ears... the panic porn that has warped your mind. If there was zero media , zero clue, zero acknowledgement of COVID-19... I doubt that we’d have been able to tell anything was much different. It’s a fraud; at most it’s a bug or a flu virus that passes through a population. 99.93% of us are still here ... The mistrust comes from the panic porn that ‘science’ and the msm pushed Vs. the real world lack of energy this virus has ... its novel for sure, killed some people who were fat, sick and old, but it’s not worth getting your panties in a bunch.

Are you new here? The posters here at Letsrun have been doing this since it’s inception. Stop thinking you created cancel culture, we’ve been destroying lives before you were born!

And Fake News CNN and the like created all this mistrust by conservatives of the media. Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see how biased they are ... so why should we trust them on Covid?

Mistrust science? No. Mistrust government? Absolutely. Mistrust government science? Like a glass of kool aid from Jim Jones.

Prior to #metoo, cancel culture was actually fairly bipartisan. Back in the 80s and 90s, cultural conservatives would demand exile for any politician who had an affair. The cultural conservatives would squak endlessly that "character counts" and flip out about Bill Clinton's affair with Monica Lewinsky. It got so bad that the Republican speaker elect in 1998, Bob Livingston, self-cancelled and resigned on the floor of the House after admitting to an extra-marital affair. And there is a long list of politicians who were forced out over cheating on their spouses after that.

The current "cancel culture" is much more complex. On one level, #metoo has very rightfully exiled some genuinely awful creatures from public life. Matt Lauer, Roger Ailes, Louis CK, Charlie Rose, Harvey Weinstein and others were sexual predators and deserved much more than their exile from public life. But the extra-judicial nature of #metoo resulted in the arbitrary take down of Sen. Franken for conduct that was relatively minor compared to what others were being outed for.

I think you misunderstood OP's post. He is asking why the "respectable" journalists at MSM are acting like the LRC basement dwellers.

I see the usual suspects were snagged in this thread. #predictable

The biggest target of Cancel Culture is, by far and away, Donald Trump. Of course his taunts and tweets invite discord from the opposition but his ability to actually govern reasonably while enduring the endless, sniping, chipping and chiseling by the deranged Demorats has been impressive enough to earn my vote in 2020 when in 2016 I wouldn't think of it. He has exposed the corrupt "progressives" ( I hate how they have hijacked that term along with every other self-righteous liberal cover for their illiberal tyranny) at every turn for the hypocrites that they are.

#metoo vanished like the morning fog as soon as Biden was accused with credibility. GD hypocrites at every turn.

A fairly unbiased of how the media came to be like this. You might say it's more a business model than anything.

This just goes to show your own bias. Plenty of republicans have been involved in destroying journalistic integrity in this country. CIA, FBI etc... have been extensively involved in mass brainwashing campaigns with people in both political parties supporting it. Anyone that points the finger at a side is either completely naive or has had the wool thoroughly draped right over them.
