Are we debating finger pointing in politics?
this thread is dumb
No, it is showing yet another example of the mainstream media having an agenda and why they have no credibility. I showed my kids (10 & 14) this video while explaining pinballcorpse's point of view. I want to raise kids that think, I don't want them to believe everything "the news" claims without question. In fact, we were just talking to the 14 year old about the hysteria that surrounded Y2K and how the press was predicting everything from the banks losing all your money to planes falling from the sky. Was there some pretty big issues with Y2K? Yes, I think there was, but there was a ton of work done and essentially there were no problems after it passed. But stating that things would probably be OK would have dropped viewership, dropping revenue.
So because I used this post as a teaching moment, no, I do not think this post was "dumb".
