MSM Anti-China Campaign: Echoes of Iraq WMD and Russiagate?
Breaking Points has extensively documented the bad faith reporting on the two greatest recent media narratives of our time, Iraq WMD and Russiagate, but has has remained credulous over the dubious-at-best avalanche of anti-China stories in the MSM. Hi Saagar! To give one of many examples, the MSM has gone so far as to accuse China of literal genocide (!) in Xinjiang in the absence of credible evidence with which to sustain that rather bold accusation. Is the "evil China" media narrative one of the few that actually deserves to be trusted and not held up to scrutiny given that fact that its motives and reporting style resemble that of recently debunked narratives?
Getting involved in politics
How can I get involved in politics in a healthy way? Eric Weinstein was on the Realignment and suggested to Saagar and Marshall that they should wait out political participation for a less crazy environment. I tend to agree, especially since even local politics has been captured by national craziness. Any recommendations on getting involved?
Not all congressional votes are tallied
Only Record Votes are logged on congress.gov and made public record. https://www.senate.gov/legislative/HowTo/how_to_votes.htm https://archives-democrats-rules.house.gov/archives/voting_house.htm I recently read an article about the Black Maternal Health Momnibus Act of 2021. I saw that one of the bills has made its way to Biden's desk, and as this is an issue very important to me, I wanted to look up all the bills and watch how the progressed. https://www.statnews.com/2021/11/18/a-win-for-black-maternal-health-advocates-as-congress-moves-to-set-up-new-va-program/ My first complaint was that Congress.gov isn't even kept up to date. https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/958 shows it as just passing the House when in fact it's also passed in the Senate. My second complaint is that in the House it was passed with a voice vote. Thankfully for this bill I didn't hear any nays in the C-SPAN video, but if there had been I'd have never seen them. The camera only stayed on the podium. My own congressman could have voted against it and I'd be uninformed, even with all the searching I did. https://www.c-span.org/video/?511624-2/house-unanimously-passes-legislation-pulse-nightclub&start=4197 I find it very disturbing that votes can be made in congress with the public having zero record of how their representation is using their power.
