#misleading reporting

[tomorrowusa]

Fox "News" is not a credible place to get real news. They proved it again when they misled viewers and readers into believing that the incident at the border with Canada at the Rainbow Bridge earlier this week was a terror attack. Some of the Fox reporters even made up Islamic extremists who carried out this non-attack. They just kept making shit up to keep their fiction going.

The usually histrionic Vivek Ramaswamy had previously been calling for a border wall with Canada. Fox's false report gave him an opportunity to demagogue about it live. Vivek really needs to switch to decaf.

Canada's public broadcaster, the CBC, also covered this.

Right-wing U.S. media covered fiction as fact: A non-existent terrorist attack from Canada at Rainbow Bridge Erroneous reports about border incident fed a frenzy of speculation and calls for a northern border wall

Some U.S. media began describing it as a terrorist explosion, caused by a vehicle entering from Canada. Every element of that preceding sentence was dispelled within hours as flat-out wrong.  There was no attack from Canada; the incident occurred entirely on U.S. soil; in fact, authorities don't believe it was a terrorist attack at all. That didn't stop a candidate for president of the United States from appearing on Fox News to promote an aspect of his platform: Building a border wall with Canada. "I have been sounding the alarm bell about the northern border for a long time," said Vivek Ramaswamy during a lengthy interview about an incident he did not witness, was not a subject-matter expert on, and had no insight into.

The real "terrorists" are far right Republicans trying to hijack the United States.

I just saw a post of a FanArt of Richard Greyson winning gold medals at the Olympics…

so an idea comes to mind…

A crazy guy is stalking the US Olympic team, at first the classic letters from a disturbing stalker, worrying but not enough to do anything more than increase security and start an investigation, after all they are in the middle of the inauguration and there is not much that can be done…

they don't plan to cancel anything… until the truck where the athletes are leaving the event is sabotaged/attacked…

despite the vehicle overturning, most of them had a scare and some bruises… but there are several of them who were left with injuries that prevent them from continuing in the competition.

which should end with the withdrawal of some competitions by the United States… but luckily they meet some of the Wayne boys who came to see the event and they are willing to be substitutes, even if it's just to fill in the spots…

Meanwhile, the Batkids are taking some time off, and by unanimous decision (no one votes against Cas) they decide to go see the opening and some events of the Olympics, what they didn't expect was to find a case involving the Olympic team, where everything seems to point to someone within it, targeting other athletes.

So they decide to investigate from within.

Against all odds, we have survived. We're taking a university course now, because the government will pay us for it and we do need the money, but it has unfortunately been eroding at our sanity somewhat, and we are learning nothing that we don't already know. We are, however, getting money.

We have somewhat of a backlog on Discord at the moment, as it doesn't have a daily upload limit and also it's easier to stick things on while we are being told things that we already know by people who are phrasing in in ways we find significantly misleading or incorrect (note: we don't use apps for things the vast majority of the time and if we access Tumblr via browser it immediately fucks up our formatting on PC, which can last several months). We will, hopefully, be posting these soon, but all is dependant on if we can actually scare up the time between courses to conglomerate that and fix any formatting errors in thoughts and such.

If that will happen any time soon... good question! Every time that our work practicum teacher opens her mouth, we take points of physical damage, and we don't think she understands the fact that getting back after we walk to a place also involves walking. We've had a lot going on for a while now and very little of it has been good. We're on new meds, and if the gods prove merciful, we won't have to tolerate this particular clown show past March. If there is no mercy to be found, however, we might have to keep doing this until June, in which case you can probably expect the quality of this to take a sharp downturn as the short time we have already spent in this program is already having immediate and catastrophic effects on our mental health.

We do not recommend going to university in any circumstances, but we are unfortunately aware that it may be necessary to get such things as a fancy piece of paper saying you are employable. Additionally, we would tell you to calibrate your expectations for anyone with a degree lower, but apparently what we consider the basic level of knowledge you should know before saying anything on any topic is everyone else's "bachelor degree and a bit", so our estimations on what people think is a high degree of knowledge to have are probably also off.

Any donations go to the Fund To Compensate Us For Having To Correct A Teacher Multiple Times In A Lecture And Then Looking Up Her Sources Later And Discovering They Are Blatant Misinformation. We are very tired. Please do research on things before talking about them. Thank you.

Sunday, week 15 (week 16 is happening) and poster boys for a series of open air movie nights.

So like. As I'm sure some of you may know, Ghost Trick's creator, Shu Takumi, and producer Shingo Izumi have said they might think about doing a sequel if ghost trick's remaster is shown a lot of support.

Which is interesting to me because I can see a 2nd ghost trick game going in two different ways. Either a spinoff title of ace attorney vs ghost trick, which back in 2013, Shu Takumi talked about.

Or.....a direct actual sequel. And I think the majority opinion on a sequel is that it would be hard to pull off since ghost trick's story is so tight. Though I think it could be pulled off, it just wouldn't make sense for it to focus on sissel again. My ideal for a sequel would actually be for it to focus on kamila.

My justification for this is that an older kamila would be involved in a plot about the foreign nation (in the new timeline) getting info about the temsik and solving the mysteries surrounding it. And yeah, sissel and missile tag along. Missile probably dies again and gets his ghost powers back. Maybe kamila would get some too. Who knows?

I only thought about this bc even though the rest of the story is tied up pretty nicely, we don't know ANYTHING about the foreign nation. What were their goals? Why did they need a piece of the meteorite? Did they know about it before meeting yomiel?

Anyways this is just speculation lmao

You can’t make this shit up you click on an article about how hamas hostages were treated (for the sake of checking yourself on bias and with the intention to verify it with multiple sources) and the headline will be « return from the horrors of hamas » and then the text is actually « they treated me rather well just didn’t have much food and i was in danger due to Israeli airstrikes” You know the shit the government claims necessary to rescue them. This world is bullshit

“The report was covered in the the Times, Daily Express, Daily Mail, the Spectator, and the influential conservative blog Guido Fawkes through both news reports and opinion pieces. The report was also shared by leading climate science denial groups, including Net Zero Watch, the campaign arm of the Global Warming Policy Foundation.

However, the Civitas report has been criticised as inaccurate by several prominent climate academics and journalists. Simon Evans, senior policy editor at Carbon Brief, posted a thread on X (formerly Twitter) explaining the “embarrassingly wrong figures” published by Civitas and amplified by prominent media outlets.”

actually insane that multiple people felt the need to be like ummm op this doesn't actually prove that no lesbian has ever done anything wrong in their life so my lesbophobia is completely justified😘!!!!!! proves my point exactly if the fact that the largest dataset we currently have says that lesbians are the most likely sexuality to say they support trans people and instead you want to refocus on how lesbians are the problem. like read the room. ask yourself where that urge comes from. ask yourself why it makes you uncomfortable to think that unless you're a lesbian yourself, transphobia in the lesbian community probably isn't the #1 hill you should be dying on. look inside yourself 💜💜💜

looking at rental listings mostly just for the hell of it but also a little bit seriously and

okay so am i crazy or are they listing estimated rent costs per month in the description? and if so am i being unreasonable to be pissed off at that bullshit?

because the listed price is an incredibly good deal for me (with potential roommate and job) but the price for December is literally almost double that and way overpriced especially with the market going the way it is. or is that like a security deposit thing.

#OneNETnewsInvestigates: ASC potentially slap to mislead and partially falsifying 'Free Physical VISA Card' offer of MayBank Phlippines' EzySave+, along the e-wallet partnership of the GCash app [EXCLUSIVE]

TAGUIG, NATIONAL CAPITAL REGION -- MayBank Philippines, in collaboration with e-wallet fintech app 'GCash', has just launched its new digital savings product dubbed 'EzySave+'. The aforesaid newly launched savings shall provide easy and fast readily available banking service to the Filipino consumers through the GCash app. Recently as unexpected however, claims were emerging which somehow classified this new promotion, yet to be misleading and falsified. One of the major confusions has been that of being eligible to have a free physical VISA debit card.

'EzySave+' is a digital savings account, where you can open one directly within the GCash smartphone app, an e-wallet fintech giant from Globe Fintech Innovations Inc. (GFIi), which is owned and wholly-operated subsidairy of G-Xchange. It offers several benefits, including no maintaining balance or annual fee, and free ATM withdrawal via Bancnet-powered ATM (automated teller machine) of any bank in the Philippines. Apart from that, savings with at least PHP0.01 cent earns an interest, with free life insurance coverage of up to PHP1M (or U$D17,108), regardless of personal accident, life and critical illnesses.

OneNETnews can now exclusively reveal via mobile phone patch last Friday afternoon (November 8th, 2024 -- Dumaguete local time) that the free physical VISA debit card is available for users who maintain a minimum savings deposit of PHP10,000 (or U$D172). Below this said amount, the request of a physical VISA debit card will be denied for the meantime, right after you open your very first 'EzySave+' account. This also raised fears on the part of false and misleading advertisement by the Ad Standards Council (ASC).

In our thorough investigation, it proved that it is valid that free VISA debit card issuance with a minimum deposit amount of PHP10,000, in which the basis of online or physical application. The stated requirement is clearly indicated on the website of MayBank and the EzySave+'s terms and conditions. Thus, one can say that there is a partially valid claim of deceptive, false and misleading advertisement, because the standards for qualification were not specified in the first advertisement. The bank advertiser of MayBank belongs in a probable first offense violation of PHP100,000; based from the Codes and Standards rules from the ASC.

For users, who have at least the minimum deposit requirement and are willing to take the risk, you can legally request an applicable free VISA debit card over the phone or in-person at any MayBank branch. This includes branches in Bacolod City, Negros Occidental; where users can easily get their debit cards. If you're in Dumaguete branch office at MayBank, it was permanently closed during the Coronavirus Disease-19 (CoViD-19) pandemic and replaced with the newly-opened 'Watsons Pharmacy'. This new local pharmacy is located right next to the 'Dumaguete Public Market' at the 'LEU Building, Brgy. 4, Real Street corner Bishop Epifanio Surban Street, this said city and province'; with the transition happening in late-November 2022. This effectivity of change does not affect its own banking app 'Maybank2U PH' under MayBank Philippines, which will continue to serve clients in normal operations.

While this partnership of 'MayBank Philippines' and 'GCash' brings a gleam of hope for a digital savings account, the supposed requirements to avail free VISA debit cards have created an uproar with charges of obscure information in advertising. It is about time that companies made conditions like these known, so that they do not mislead the banking consumers. It will be really interesting to note how MayBank and GCash address these concerns and ensure a fair, honest banking experience to all Filipino consumers.

I've discovered that fake lyric videos on youtube are apparently a fucking thing now.

Often they're the only lyric video available for a song but they're set to some other music.

That's such horseshit. If I wanted the lyrics separate from the song I'd fucking web search them.
