This is what happens when the whole industry is compromised by the same issue that they are supposed to be reporting on
Sports media is failing fans. Two months ago, the NBA and MLB had players and coaches indicted by the federal government for placing bets on games. In previous eras, this would be a crisis. Now? Crickets.
So many internet counter arguments functionally boil down to “well idk about your data driven arguments, but my anecdotal experience is totally different, so you have to be wrong”. These people basically want you to treat their word as divine truth

Trump just federalized the DC police department and is sending in the national guard to brutalize homeless people under the completely false pretenses that the crime rate is skyrocketing when in actuality crimes lower than ever before, and CNN is acting like Trump is the messiah. We’re fucked
CNN data guru Harry Enten calls the Epstein story a "nothingburger" because Google searches have fallen off in the past week, says Trump's approval rating is "pretty gosh-darn good" right now, and commends Trump for having "some of the best political instincts of any politician I‘ve seen."

Real actual pedophiles are being given cushy stays and possible immunity to protect our pedophilic political elite while the guy who has worked at the mechanics shop around the corner for 20 years with a clean record is being black bagged off the street and disappeared because he’s brown
BREAKING on MSNBC: Ghislaine Maxwell's attorney has confirmed to NBC News that Maxwell has just been moved to a federal prison in Texas. That prison — FPC Bryan in Bryan, TX — is a minimum-security federal prison camp.
Obviously American political life is largely a hellscape but God it’s been so satisfying watching all these liberal institutions flail about as they realize that nobody fucks with them or their bullshit stopgap policy positions anymore
He once mocked a crying cop. Now he may run the nation’s largest police force. Zohran Mamdani will face a gauntlet of political pitfalls should he win the NYC mayoral race and find himself at the helm of the NYPD.
