The New York Daily News is a very Left wing paper.
Remember they are the ones that published multiple front page images of the NRA president as a terrorist or blaming terrorist attacks on the NRA.
Well, today is the 50th Anniversary of the launch of Apollo 11.
This was the Tweet they sent out:
I didn’t know it was possible to get so much wrong in 140 characters while trying to be factual.
At least the moon landing conspiracy theorists get the name of the astronaut right.
Then it dawned on me.
The moon landing is one of the most heavily documented events in modern American history. There are more books and documentaries about it than I can count. Still, some New York Daily News staffer decides to shoot a Tweet from the hip and bumblefucks it.
So out there is some millennial staffer who, literally, everything he knows is wrong. Just factually wrong. And he thinks it’s right. Right enough to send his wrongness out into the world unchecked.
Then there was this from a couple of days ago. A millennial writer had a breakdown because her editor told her that hamster was spelled “hamster” and not “hampster” and the writer believed that her work was perfect without editing and that her way of spelling wasn’t wrong, just “creative.”
If you want to know why Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is why she is the way she is. Why millennials love socialism and believe President Trump is literally the second coming of Hitler and detention centers are actual Nazi concentration camps. Why politics has become so ridiculously stupid.
This is why.
We have a generation of kids who every thing they know is wrong. Factually inaccurate wrong.
And they think they are right enough to publish their wrongness with authority.
The good news is that I have come up with a plan to fix our nation.
Knowing the millennials’ propensity for wrongness, we just need to spend the next year-and-a-half convincing the internet that election day for everyone born after 1989 is the second Tuesday following the second Monday in November, like how in college upperclassman registration is on a different day than freshman registration.
I figure with a concerted effort on social media, we can right this ship easy in 2020.

Don't dismiss the rot in the mainstream mass media because the alt media is not ideal. The point is to have numerous free voices and not goose-stepping party-line propaganda. People with educations and functional brains can see the truth in the noise. The notion that dangerous opinions and speech need to be censored is Orwellian. It never stops at the "bad" elements, it always limits to total control.

And yet, when I google "coronavirus emerged from a wuhan lab", the credible hits I get seem to be centered around that it came from an animal and the lab theory is doubtful at best. And the story zerohedge links to is another zerohedge piece pointing mostly to vacuous conspiracy theory stuff.
I agree that zerohedge shouldn't be banned. However, that doesn't mean I find the vast majority of their stories which pump doom and collapse and supporting opinions credible.

"The 2016 "Russia meddling" scam is not over. Get ready for a repeat of the same BS in 2020.
With the same D. Party perps and their MSM mouthpieces acting as the victims"
from the new york Times
" Russia secretly offered bounties to Afghan militants kill US troops "
It turn out the whole thing is a set up to make Trump look bad ( like if anyone needed to bother )
it confirm there are US intel people playing partisan politics
