Welcome to my blog. I'm Devin. 22 years old. Wallflower.Living in San Francisco. LOVE acting and movies. This blog contains most of the thoughts in my head. Feel free to ask away.

Harvey Milk was the first openly gay person to be elected to public office in California. He was assassinated on November 27, 1978 after serving 11 months on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors.
This is one of those things that I already knew was true, but seeing it so blatantly displayed makes me feel like like I am finding out about it for the first time.
CIA is getting lazy

“It’s just a script whats the problem lol” the problem is that Fox, CNN, CBS, and all the other channels repped here, despite claiming to be different companies with different viewpoints, all had the exact same script, word for word, to push the exact same viewpoint that smaller, independent news outlets are Fake News and “A Threat To Our Democracy.”
The fact that they have scripts isn’t the problem. The problem is they all, each and every one, have the exact same script down to the letter and in some cases the fucking inflection, which basically reads “small news stations are untrustworthy and a Threat to your Way Of Life, only trust Us, We Are Verified.”
without context y'all don’t seem to understand what this is. this is not “proof” that media companies are in bed together to brainwash you or whatever, lol. fox, cbs, abc, and nbc have no control over what local news stations air. that actually really misjudges the problem. the reason all of these stations are using the same script is because they are owned by sinclair broadcasting, a crazy right wing company which is currently attempting to influence american politics by buying up local news stations and using their revered, “impartial” status to air right wing propaganda. take a few minutes and look into the owners of your local news affiliates. it’s pretty likely that one or more are owned by sinclair.
this is all due to fcc rule changes a few years ago that place no limit on the number of affiliates a company can own. that is what’s at stake here - that those who trust that local news will be impartial and credible will be fed incredibly biased information seeking to sway their viewpoints. this only plays into it further.
Yes, Sinclair is a tool of the Republicans & they parrot Trump’s “fake news” line. You may have also seen a “Bottom Line with Boris” segment. Boris Epshteyn is literally a Russian who worked on Trump’s campaign & currently works for Sinclair. They force the local news stations to run his propaganda. Sidenote: Steve Franssen is a Trump troll. The RW framing of this as “mind control” is to make people question ALL news sources by tampering with your trusted local news team who work for the stations they own (¾ of all stations nationwide).
