        Everyone just needs to focus on figuring out objective truth, rather than relying on someone else to do it for them.

        There’s nothing much wrong with viewing biased sources, in principle, so long as you do so openly and compare them against other sources with a critical eye.

        The bitter truth I was pointing to is that CNN is no longer the antithesis to Fox News. Maybe it was for many people, but they should be aware that the network has been captured and skewed towards a new bias.

        Trying to fill in a gap in the market between Fox News and MSNBC, giving away their credibility to cater to delusional both-siders. The corpse of Wolf Blitzer’s integrity is spinning in its grave with such velocity that a day lasts 20% longer. You might be thinking to yourself, physics doesn’t work like that. Well, yeah, you’re right.

        Yeah exactly, and I forget the details as well lol. But ever since then, back when they first had Trump on a debate on their network with a crowd filled with his supporters, they have been staunchly pro-Trump.

      “I would like to see CNN evolve back to the kind of journalism that it started with, and actually have journalists, which would be unique and refreshing,” he said. Then he suggested a model: “Fox News, in my opinion, has followed an interesting trajectory of trying to have ‘news’ news, I mean some actual journalism, embedded in a program schedule of all opinions.”

      Malone’s comments didn’t resonate much beyond a couple of places: At Fox News, which responded with glee, and inside CNN, where they sounded alarm bells.

          Fun fact. Dippin Dots, the ice cream of the future, is stored at -40 degrees

          Extra fun fact. -40 degrees is where the Celsius & Fahrenheit scales intersect!

    Looking at the picture, it’s the same ice cream eating Joe Biden. Maybe he’s just at his best eating snacks? I know some people who do their best thinking while crunching food.

    His interview with Seth was pretty decent. You can tell he really just wants to call Trump “that mother fucker” in public haha. He asked him about Gaza and you can tell he’s also super pissed about BB and credit where credit is due he did admit he calls himself a Zionist. Which yeah, I mean he’s a really conservative president I respect him owning that tbh. The dude is super fucking old but just a little slow not diminished mentally imo.

    He’s just really gotta make a big shift on Israel. Like pull their aid all together.

    It’s a start. Only took 3 years to get him out of hiding. Now stop having him eat ice cream in public, it makes him look like an old grandpa.

      He…is… an old grandpa? Also, I’m assuming he likes icecream.

        In ww2 the U.S. navy had a ship that just made and delivered ice cream to the fighting boats. Ice cream is as american as apple pie!

          I’m not gonna argue with that. it is a classic american dessert. (especially together. A 4th of July staple if ever there was one.)

          But, just for the record… because I find the history of icecream intriguing… one of the earlier recordings of an ice cream recipe (and the salty-ice method of making it,) comes from a medical text written by a Syrian historian in the 1300’s. Apples, too, weren’t native to America and brought over by colonists (though, the Ottoman empire had apple pies, too. And probably ice cream. One wonders if they were enlightened enough to put them together…)

          I’d happily take him out for ice cream. And give him my 43 cents (inflation is a bitch,)

          “Do you want to know what I think about Israel.” “Of course!”
          “Okay. Tell your goons not to shoot me; so I can express it properly.”
          “uh…”
          “The only way to fully express my feelings on your support for Israel, is to punch you in the face.”
          “…” “Try the Swedish garden party. It’s amazing.”

          (Goddammit this reminds me that Izzy’s Ice cream didn’t survive the pandemic. Their Swedish Garden Party was amazing. Vanilla ice cream with lingonberry jam and ginger snap cookies.)
