I can't remember what the saying was. I heard it like 10 years ago. Something about hearing the news and waiting a week for the truth. So like don't react to breaking news cause it is almost always missing context or wrong somewhere.
What was the "Misinformation" that was used? I know that's a buzz word used by your group, but maybe you understand what it means before throwing it out there.
I mean there wasn't any misinformation from that, it was just being highlighted that Waltz has ties to him. Which he does. And that dude is creepy. Something always seemed "off" about him. I honestly don't trust any politicians at this point but I get a feeling something will come out about him in the coming years people won't like.
I maybe thinking to much onto this, but this screams Psyop to me. I bet he will be killed in a police shoot out or some other weird way to keep him quiet. Then again, I could be completely off with this, and it could be just a former staffer that just went crazy.
He is posting on his platform that they need to make a deal but everyone is reporting this.
I am just so tired of this.
It Walz appointed him. When actually the governor before did, Walz just kept him on. To me that would be like if you got a new boss, he made changes but you was someone he kept, he didn't give you that job. It's the same thing here. What you posted, rather your intent or not, implied that Walz was the one who put him in the position, and failed to mention he held it since 2016 with the previous Governor. That's why it's misinformation because it's not giving the full story.
Did you hurt yourself with that stretch there?
Same here. Just wish we would focus on our own.
We have a busted economy, a broken housing market, people can't even afford healthcare and yet the US has to make every other country their business
Maybe we just have a different definition of misinformation. To me it's leaving out information. It doesn't mention at all that Mark Dayton appointed the guy in 2016. The way it's presented in the photo you posted, it's as if Walz picked him himself. That's misleading, which in turn makes it misinformation.
I feel I be wrong if I said lying. Like Walz did keep him on, so he saw something in him. I just have a problem with them leaving out how the guy had been since the previous governor, and leaves out it's a nonpartisan position. The media knew what they were doing, trying to cause a divide. That's why I use the term misinformation because it's leaving out details. Maybe misleading is the better term idk.
Misleading is a form of lying though, to me at least. And I just think labeling these people liars is better. The media has lost so much trust in recent years, maybe they need to lose more. News should just be facts without any narrative or feelings.
I guess that's true. I just always wanna make sure I'm using the right words. But yeah I want to be given all the facts, not stuff being left out.
Local news is mostly fine if you noticed. I only know cause my parents still watch it and have it on all the time. It is the big networks that do this manipulation bs and narrative painting.
Come on man. Nonpartisan position my ass. You should know better than that. Parties stick together Especially in a far left state like MN. You guys always deflect away when it's one of yours, which is waaaaaay more often then not. I wonder why yall never talk about most of the Mass and School shooters in the past two years, but rather defect away and scream "Gun Control" because it will destroy something you are so protective of.
Remember a few years back when you said that I didn't care about children being shot? Mind you, if we were fave to fave and you were stupid enough to say that, you would find out real quick why I have been demoted twice in the Army. Especially, you someone who has had to live through that type of violence, while you and the others sit in the room your parents rent for you. Some of.us actually do give a fuck about protecting others, and actually gave most of our lives to do so.
Parties stick together? So why is this guy a registered republican?
Why does his roommate say the guy is a trump supporter? Why did the list of names they said they found all Democrats? One of which is Tim Walz? You known me so long yet are so wrong about me. Because I'll call any fucking side out. Remember the other day when I said the people being violent were wrong? Yeah I don't support that, as it hurts the people actually peacefully protesting. Now you'll say I'm deflecting again, but did you condem January 6th? Or do you wanna act like that was any different?
Also see, look at you going right to violence. So you would assault me for my opinion? Is that what you just said? Cause if so, wow.
