Social media feeding sloppy journalism and confirmation bias

1. Would you rather eat that steak or a bowl of Lucky Charms?

   1. Hmmm… Toss up. I’ve never had a bowl of Lucky Charms, but then again, I’ve never had a steak that was so shitty it had to be doused in BBQ sauce like that. That’s a crime in itself.

      1. To each their own. I can only afford cheap steak, but these days, I’m not sure I can even afford eggs. And I like my steak dead, as in done. If it moos when I stab it with a knife, it’s not form me. A travesty, no doubt. But in a democracy, I get to like my steak any way I like it.
         Until they make us eat bugs, that is.

      2. +++DB, me either.

      3. The sloppy BBQ doesn’t look too clean either not that it matters if that steak is well cooked but come on.
         Tells me something about Chez Chef.

         1. Because my BBQ is more than 2-weeks old … it looks somewhat similar. Shame on me, I guess.

2. “Given the actual content of the Special Report on Climate Change and Land, the content of the Twitter war makes absolutely no sense. The skeptics were incensed over things the report never actually said and the activists defended it for things it didn’t actually say. ”

   The activists and the journalists marching in lockstep amplified and promoted things the report said in small details or limited form, while ignoring to context.
   The skeptics were incensed over things that the journalists were claiming.

   Nobody wants to read thousands of pages of turgid prose

3. The best thing to do is to ignore all of this B.S. And the best thing that farmers could do is completely ignore any dictates from the feds in that regard and keep producing food. AND, those farmers need to be backed up by the provincial government. It’s time to push back HARD against the fascists.

4. Speaking of “misinformation” the Liberal “Just Transition” scheme comes to mind.

   Most Canadians don’t know about Liberals’ plan for ‘just transition’ away from oil: poll

   …
   “Despite the topic having circulated in Canadian politics for years, a whopping 84 per cent of Canadians do not know what the ‘just transition’ plan actually is ”

   The Liberals , Justin and Hans Gruber are laughing at the stupid Canadian voters who will buy into “Just Transition” because it sounds nice , and of course because Canadians are such nice trusting people who actually believe their government acts in their best interests,

   1. Same as the LIBs is the USA.

5. The farmers may need the citizens to watch their backs. Literally, while they work. To stop federal agents interfering.

   Because you know that’s coming.

6. L – Every version of beef, pork, poultry, lamb and venison is better than eating crickets!

   Ballot choice: 1. beef, pork, poultry, lamb, venison= *Wexit.
   Ballot choice: 2. crickets(in flour form or otherwise)= **Trudeau regime dictatorship.

   *(retain Constitutional Rights as individuals: Life, Liberty, Security of the Person and Property
   and that of self-government by sovereign individuals who delegate their authourity to
   elected representatives but do not surrender that sovereignty. Hence, government
   legitimacy is dependent on the consent of the governed.)

   1. Larry, “**(Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely” – Edmund Burke)”

      Um, I think they forgot to tell the turdo about that!

   2. Larry, with you comment about Constitutional Rights I thought you might be interested in this interview. It is a little long but quite enlightening.

      1. L – This analysis is excellent. We’ve failed to see our political heritage is passed on to
         each generation. Free speech is the way we can inculcate that, at this late date.
         Liberty is worth defending, the alternative looming o’er us is very grim, indeed.

7. That steak looks good. I hope at most it’s medium on the inside.

   1. Telling folks what and how to eat again….

      Yep that be a lib.

      1. I’m not telling one how to eat steak and beef mince… But a well done steak or mince, pan-fried in real butter and adorned with garlic salt, meat tenderiser and barbeque seasoning, is pretty hard to beat!!! Goes well with potato gems (hard to get here at present) and other normal vegetables…

8. Yum. I know what I’m having for dins tonight.

   Feck Trudeau – eat a steak!

9. Catastrophic Climate Change irony:

   a). “Recently the media has informed us that humanity has just a decade left to rescue the planet, making 2030 the deadline to save civilization.”

   b). Joe Biden says we will NEED to use fossil fuels for another 10 years.

   Huh? So we’re all doomed then!? Fkcu it! Let’s add another $10 Trillion to America’s debt … nobody will be alive to pay it back.

   1. Pay it off with some new $1T coins!

      1. Gawwwd! I couldn’t BELIEVE that when I read it. And I’m still amazed that the unhinged leftist Treasury Sec. Janet Yellen declined flipping that coin.
