As much as I hate Farcebook, and would love to see them fail, IMO (take that for what you paid) this crash in their price is a big buying opportunity, for those in a position to do so. I would be happy to be proven wrong. Time will tell.

I used to be really into facebook but it has become so bloated that my antique computers can't load a page in a reasonable time.

It's just like myspace pages became.
Facebook used to be very basic.
Here are your friends and their pictures.
That's it.
Now there are ads, videos, scripts.
BLOAT.

I did it when I was laying in a hospital bed ten years ago, as a connection to "the outside".

Discharged, I got back into (gasp!) REAL life.

Been surviving - both personally and professionally - just fine without it for the last decade. I just don't see the obsession.

I have a facebook page. Last time I posted to it was November of 2014. Lady friend made me update my profile picture.

All in all, I can't be bothered, FB is a complete waste of time.

I actually deleted my page. No sense taking a chance at getting hijacked.

I deleted my FB page years ago too. Never found much use for it. Since then, they keep coming up with new reasons to despise FB. I still see this as a buying opportunity.

Oh, I agree on the opportunity side. I'm not too proud to invest in other people's stupidity...it does chap my cheeks a bit to put money in Zuck's pocket, but if it puts some in mine as well...

We'll see. Have to free up cash first. Anyone want to buy an '01 M2? ; )

I wouldn't go past the money you'd spend on going to the casino on any stock you hear about on the news.

Play the game, expect to lose, be happy if you win. That's true for a poker game or the Stock Market. Ask a Professional.

My bet, and I'm not putting down money! is the stock will rebound, but not to the high it once had. Facebook has too big a presence to vanish quickly. It will take time to die. It owns too much.

And you could say the same thing about AOL. Not long ago. Where is it today?

Pure BS Shepard. Sure the press is sticking together but the questions that gal asked in that setting were grossly inappropriate, and enough already with the press being our eyes and ears, Shep. We're not blind or deaf and the BS we get from the main street media on the administration these days is most often negatively slanted and devoid of the many positives that are happening.

I don’t have the energy to cite every instance. Here’s one.

Trump is shown dumping koi chow into a pond. The press went nuts. He was overfeeding them. He’s an oaf. He insulted the Japanese prime minister. He is an embarrassment.

Now, I have koi, so I know that the amount of food he dumped in there would have been consumed in just a few seconds, so I didn’t see what the big deal was.

Then we see the unedited film that depicts the prime minister dumping his box of food into the pond and Trump following suit.

Fake news. In other words, a lie.

Just one example. There are a plethora.

That's not a gossip machine. That was the MSM editing video to tell a false story. Told by many "news" sources. They tried to make an international incident out of it. Ridiculous! Many examples of this sort of thing going on daily.

I don't think gossip and MSM are mutually exclusive.
I understand the omission of other pics and facts skewed the context, but this is something all presidents are burdened with. While you would have a stronger case if the pic and facts were altered, lying is effectively legal outside of a contract or a courtroom. : ( The only recourse we have is calling out the author as a lying liar who lies. That is, if the authors leave their names.

They altered the video and told a story that is obviously false if you see what they cut out of the video. They literally manufactured a false story line. Believe what you want, but it's plain to see for anyone willing to look that the MSM is lying to us pretty much daily.

Good intentions!


quote:

And wouldn't you know it, Mittermeier says she'd do it again if she had the chance, since, essentially, the images pushed a supposed larger truth. "The photographer says that her image became another example of 'environmentalist exaggeration,' but added that her intentions were 'clear' and that if she had the opportunity to share 'a scene like this one' again, she would," reports Fox News.




And most likely, the next time she does it, it will be an even bigger lie. That's what happens when your lies are rewarded.

"Mittermeier conceded that the images of the bony, emaciated polar bear were meant to sound an alarm about climate change, though she complains that people took the image "literally.""

So if I published a photograph of the corpse a young black male, dead from a rare blood disorder, and captioned it "The Tragedy of Black on Black Crime in the Inner City", that would be acceptable?

No, it would be a lie. One meant to sound the alarm on black on black violence. But it doesn't sound any alarms on black on black violence. Unless I tell another lie, and say he was shot by another black man in a drug deal gone bad. Which is effectively what she did. Liars suck.

And you'll see in the Trump thread, Candace Owens reposted Jeong's messages verbatim, except she changed "white" to "black"...and she got suspended immediately.

But there's no bias.
