this country needs a constituional convention.

do you seriously believe we have enough states people to successfully manage a constitutional convention and have a better outcome than just relying on the existing constitution? I sure don’t. What we have was put together by some serious genius.

@aloha-hoosier are we really upset about left wing cnn being denied access to craft a biased story in 2026.  they are sensational garbage designed to promote an agenda.  do we give a shit if fox news was denied. of course not.  they'll color it their own way for clicks anyway. 

this country needs a constituional convention.  social media.  ai.  there are things that the founders couldn't have ever fathomed.  and while the principles and ideals may stand the applications are anachronistic.  unfortunate that our politicians and electorate are dumb

Freedom of the Press is fundamental to this country. MAGAs are afraid of the press now, many terrified, but the media has always had its biases. Usually there was a federalist and democratic republican paper in each city and many towns - later a Republican and a Democratic paper. It's not all that hard to ignore the biases and get to the facts.

People getting all their news from social media are the most misinformed among us.

I know it upsets their fragile snowflake feelings. They're unable to separate biases from reality. Mostly their own biases from actual reality.

@hhlurker i think the people who hate trump most also hate musk and any other person that put themselves out there.  they are safe people.  risk averse people.  people who never put their chips in.  because they were afraid of failure.  afraid of embarrassment.  afraid of all of it.  yet they are the first to judge people who do. they lead unremarkable lives and live envious of others and hate people like trump.  no.  trump has failed over and over again.  he's a shitty person. he's a narcissist.  he's many things.   but he's not a coward.  i've read all the philosophers.  the self help gurus.  the instagram influenceers.  the greatest thing ever written is the man in the arena.  it's what i try to inculcate in my kids.  trump can look back on his life knowing he was the man in the arena.  few can.  democrats in search of socialism who hate trump certainly can't.  trump is a shitty person.  a shitty president.  but he again was the man in the arena.  i'll take that all day every day.

Beautiful post.  The only error I found in the post is the "shitty President".  The only acceptable assessment is average, good, or great.  You can carry on now.

@aloha-hoosier not even remotely true.  news is curated.  social media shows actual videos.  people on the streets.  real time.  what the local news shows for crime in stl compared to what social media accounts show is a marked difference

@aloha-hoosier are you a hyena?  why are you laughing? if i say something it's so.  otherwise i wouldn't say it.

Democrats outnumber Republicans four to one among American journalists who choose a political party, according to a prominent and widely cited landmark study on media demographics conducted by professors at the Indiana University School of Journalism. [1]
The foundational study, led by Indiana University professors Lars Wilnat and David Weaver, tracked the shifting political allegiances of U.S. media professionals over several decades. Key findings from their research include: [1]

@bar-down absolutely true. Whenever I look at Facebook, Twitter or Truth I wonder what the stupid people did before social media because it’s dominated by stupid and misinformed people.

@aloha-hoosier tons of misinformation.  tons of unvetted shit.  totally agree.  but if you sift through it you also get the news that isn't subject to curation.  you have to know what to look for.  just by way of example.  the social media accounts VOP News Stl absolutely blow away the networks for local news.  you want to know what stl is like.  whats going on.  that's the spot.  and it's on social media.  it's the real news.
