Like many unfortunate things, the rise of advocacy took off with Donald Trump. As in many newsrooms, his election in 2016 was greeted at NPR with a mixture of disbelief, anger, and despair. (Just to note, I eagerly voted against Trump twice but felt we were obliged to cover him fairly.) But what began as tough, straightforward coverage of a belligerent, truth-impaired president veered toward efforts to damage or topple Trump’s presidency. 
Persistent rumors that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia over the election became the catnip that drove reporting. At NPR, we hitched our wagon to Trump’s most visible antagonist, Representative Adam Schiff. 
Schiff, who was the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, became NPR’s guiding hand, its ever-present muse. By my count, NPR hosts interviewed Schiff 25 times about Trump and Russia. During many of those conversations, Schiff alluded to purported evidence of collusion. The Schiff talking points became the drumbeat of NPR news reports.
But when the Mueller report found no credible evidence of collusion, NPR’s coverage was notably sparse. Russiagate quietly faded from our programming. 
It is one thing to swing and miss on a major story. Unfortunately, it happens. You follow the wrong leads, you get misled by sources you trusted, you’re emotionally invested in a narrative, and bits of circumstantial evidence never add up. It’s bad to blow a big story.

Hello Anon:
Thanks for the hot tip but I have seen it already and have drawn my own conclusions regarding the matter, especially after considering the sources.
Always, always, always:
CONSIDER THE SOURCE.
Tumblr media
I’ve chosen not to post your ask because the less attention placed on this person, the better.
If you recall, it was also around Christmas three years ago that this person’s “mentor” revealed herself.
I often wonder what would’ve happened had we simply amplified the truth this “mentor” told initially and ignored her outlandish claims, which she began spewing with a vengeance when she realized that she could attract far more notoriety and attention by changing her story to one much more salacious and destructive. Because haters love to hate.
As I’ve said before, the right thing to do when an actual crime has been committed is to file charges with the police and provide solid evidence of the crime, to support the claim with the proper authorities should one also seek to file a claim in court. Justice absolutely should be served but only if it’s warranted. And much more evidence than this is required.
Her protégé’s claim is vague, without specific evidence to support it, presented only to stir the pot of defamation once again.
The protégé is wearing a bathing suit and appears to be posing for the photo in question. She looks to have undergone a recent “cupping” treatment. It’s difficult to determine exactly what her grievance against the accused might be.
Regret is not a crime. Consent, or the denial thereof, is not retroactive. Objective facts are immutable. Vague implications are not facts.
And proclaiming a known delusional stalker and compulsive liar as her mentor serves only to discredit her claims.
Likewise, this “news” breaking from a source known to have a close relationship with the accused’s disgruntled aunt publicly feuding with the accused over the family fortune serves only to raise questions about the source’s credibility and motives.
Both the accuser and the person breaking the news are relying on people’s wild imaginations and need for titillation to fill in the blanks of the story the accuser is not actually telling.
Let’s not fall for that again.
Thanks for your comment.

“hiSTORy iS WRitteN bY THe vicTORs¡”
Oh do fuck off with that Churchillian, pompous, small-minded, imperialist, triumphalist Great Man Theory bullshit!
That stopped being true after 1945 and you know it!
Get in the bin with that shite!
Besides I’m pretty sure that quote was actually about biased narratives.
Mind you, I’m not using it to justify revisionism or “lost cause” narratives! That shit can also get in the fucking bin! Starting yesterday.

Instagram is censoring videos like these exposing the isnotreal government limiting the likes and shares and a lot more, they are trying to silence us!
I just wanted to share this on to my story because this was very important when Instagram removed the share story button and I went ahead and filmed the clip and posted it here on Tumbler.
However, there is a Palestinian app called Redz that is just like Tiktok but the difference is you can post whatever you want and it won't get censored, a lot of people downloaded it and are spreading awareness over there.

Why the Fire Emblem Three Houses/Hopes discourse surrounding Almyra is unfairly biased against them!
I expect everyone to know about Almyra and Fódlan, so I will not go over in great detail as to the history and mention all the bad points right away to be debunked, but first a little intro:
The continent of Fódlan is attacked from time to time by Almyra, a persian-coded empire that once tried to conquer Fódlan and was beaten only marginally by the combined effort of Adrestia, Fearghus, Leicester and the Church. Afterward a large fortification called Fódlan’s medallion was placed between the border of Leicester and Almyra. Then the Church of Seiros established the Officer's Academy and attempt to prepare the young nobles for a future of conflict. To the present day, we see small attacks from Almyrans on the border and that might make one think that they are pure evil and pretty much the bad guys from 300...wrong for following reasons:
1. We only get Fódlans view of things and never that of Almyra. Cyril doesn’t count because he himself admits to not know why Almyra attacks in his support with Hilda and would have been 5 years old when he was orphaned and as many of us know, our me memories of these early years is not clear, so he cannot be seen as completely reliable narrator on such matters, especially when he is wrong about some of Almyra’s stuff as I am mentioning now.
2. Almyra has no real incentive to conquer Fódlan. After a century, no real invasion took place with the exeption of some border raids that counts as nothing, since such small scale conflicts happened a lot in history, and they still persist even in Fódlan as Jeralt mentions battles taking place. Coming back to the Cyril point, the Almyrans have a powerful navy, more advanced than Fódlan (which casts doubts about Cyril mentioning how inferior Alymran tech is, because they appearently can’t build a structure as grand as the Bridge of Myrrdin). With that, they should have taken easily the Alliance capital, the Fraldarious territory as well as the Kingdom capital and debilitate the Empire, allowing them full control over most of Fódlan this way. One might say the hero relics, but how much good will it do against high advanced tech?
3. Another problem is that the King of Almyra has no interest in a invasion and many of his officers as well as many others do also not think of invading Fódlan. This led to Shahid being betrayed by Nader and before that having his soldiers fight with low morale to the point where the GD conclude that had the Almyrans been serious, they would have been in big trouble and presumably lost.
4. If really Almyra was such a big threat, why are there no long-term consequences for missing out on the paralouges in Three houses where you battle them. If we are meant to think that they are this dangerous, why is there no punishment? It makes no sense.
5. Finally, saying that all can be blamed on Almyra is also against the GD’s theme of Isolationism and ignorance clouding our senses as we see how aggressive Fódlan is to outsiders and even if Almyra is as bad as people say, not wanting peace with them is what would lead to more death and more hate and this is pretty much what the story criticizes; The Nabateans and Agarthans are unwillingly to let their past go and because of this, they burend the continent asunder and nearly wiped out all life on it. So for the sake of future generations, Almyra and Fódlan have to put aside their differences and work together for a new dawn.
If you have disagreements with me, tell me and I’ll answer gladly.

Mortis Movie Hour
Movie Review #3
Tumblr media
[Alt: four animatronics, Chica (chicken), Bonnie (bunny), Foxy (fox/pirate), and Freddy (Faz-bear lol) in front of Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzaria. In place of the restraunt sign is the movie title]
Five Nights At Freddy’s (2023)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Amazing!!!! Not as gore-y as I originally thought it would have been and definitely not as scary, however they still managed to make this a great movie. It was definitely worth the hype!
⭐️- The animatronics were so accurate and well made.
⭐️- I loved the actual emotional connection that his sister made with the souls of the children.
⭐️- I am so so so biased cause those games were my childhood and MatPat fueled that raging fire.
⭐️- Very well made movie. The acting was good. The scenes were great. The writing…*chefs kiss*
⭐️- I just really am very biased about this movie. I was so sad when i saw that so many people didnt like it.
I may be biased but I genuinely think this was a great movie. I cant wait for the next one. I am on the edge of my SEAT!!!

Ohh, how about 12 and 25 for the ask thing!
12. the unpopular character that you actually like and why more people should like them
daddy christian<3 the man serves unapologetic cunt every day, and he's married to ginger spice like. what is not to love?
25. common fandom complaint that you’re sick of hearing
I got a little sick of people complaining about whole social media handling of Nyck being replaced etc, and then also people complaining about Max being booed in silverstone too. Like, i get where people are coming from, it isn't nice but sports isn't nice a lot of the time. it's brutal. but i'm sure this is how people feel when i got upset on behalf of daniel last year lmao so, i do get this is a hypocritical take.
