Now enjoy the slop dummy.

Instead of people who actually know what they’re talking about, we’re going to bring you perspectives from people like:
– that neighbor you always see while walking the dog but you never bothered to learn their name
– the woman who works at the dry cleaners and lives above the dry cleaners
– tech bro who thinks he has it all figured out but still can’t find a girlfriend
– conspiracy theorist
– granola mom
– Lycra rollerblader
– racist uncle
And countless other people who won’t challenge your intelligence while giving you our – I mean their – opinions on things that they have no actual knowledge about.

Right. Why would you want an expert in their field tell you how this might affect things when you can have some random dipshit’s opinion instead.

We heard facts hurt your feelings, so we’re going to twist things to make you feel better instead of dealing with reality.

The dumbing down of America
TripleSingleHOF on
Yeah, why would I want to hear the “analysis of academics” on the news? I’d rather just hear what some know-nothing dipshit has to say instead.

Tbh I agree that the media looks at news/stories in “how does the impact the Right vs Left fight” rather than “how does this impact the average person”. Getting some partisan bozo to spin one side of the story. Basically covering a boxing match.
Though the analysis of academics is needed and contradicts the overall point they’re trying to make. So that’s dumb of them to say.
BUT I do not trust CBS News to be the entity to actually fulfill that change. Bari Weiss is too bought and paid for to not sway things to the direction her benefactors want

The AVERAGE AMERICAN = “As of late 2024/early 2025, the U.S. adult literacy rate is around 79% literate, meaning about 21% are considered functionally illiterate or have low literacy skills, with a significant portion (54%) reading below a 6th-grade level; however, recent reports from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) show a concerning decline, with nearly 28% now at the lowest literacy levels, suggesting a worsening trend from 2017, costing the U.S. economy billions annually.”

But there’s already Fox News, and Newsmax and OAN for people who think FNC is woke. So where does the audience for this rw slop come from?

Like the perspective of the random guy on the street who says he’s never seen a kid go to into a day care center with absolutely no proof
There is something to be said for listening to and addressing the concerns and fears of the Average American(tm). Ignoring expert and studied opinion on topics is not how one does that.
Catering to the feelings of the Conservatives over the facts of the “liberal elites” (aka actual experts) is an overcorrection of such massive proportions that it’s speeding up the fall of democracy.
Oh, and Newsflash: It is not an “Appeal to Authority” fallacy when the authority “appealed” to is a) relevant to the topic at hand and b) based on the facts at hand. It’s not an Appeal to Authority to ask a mechanic what’s wrong with your engine, a plumber to tell you what’s wrong with your pipes, an electrician what’s wrong with the wiring in your place, a carpenter what’s wrong with the frame of your house, a biologist or physician how to treat a disease, or a climatologist what’s going on with the climate.
