"It's Not Even News" Says Herr D

"Unqualified" by Herr D on heromachine.com. He was originally depicting an informational exchange witnessed by Hairy, but the descriptor seems to fit Fox News.-Shelob

 

[opens chatbox in middle of chess game] You have not blogged upon Fox News legal problems.

I thought I had a few more days. Will your opinion change?

No. It's not even news. Fox was always suspect. You predicted legal trouble in episode 11/13/20. 

For them? No. For any news outlet leaving information wrong.

Well, to be fair, I don't consider Fox a news outlet. Anyone part of a movement to declare everyone else a liar is lying. My littlest knew that when she was seven or eight. Does this mean people will stop believing in disinformation?

[snort] No. Denial springs eternal. [exits]

Boebert Talks Big, Sounds Stupid

 

"Human Worth Scale" by Herr D on Paint. Famously stupid or insane people are of relative negative values by the amount of people who follow them or are harmed by them.-Shelob

[shows clip of Boebert making speech about DirecTv eliminating Newsmax]

[laughs] [shows clip of Boebert making speech about Twitter closing accounts of certain politicians]

[laughs] Do you have a blog topic?

Y! Boebert doesn't have to worry about being censored. As long as she keeps talking big and sounding stupid, I'll be happy to tell people all about it, and so will others. As for Newsmax and other spreaders of disinformation? No one deserves the right to repeat lies. People aren't smart enough to see through them, and no one has the time to check on all of them.

It might be time for a class action lawsuit against Newsmax. Marjorie Taylor Greene said famously that she was 'allowed' to believe certain things. Maybe we should start suing companies that delude people. That one guy recently was directed to pay near a billion for lying.

Got that, Shelob? Yes, thank you. 

Shelob Extrapolates Headline, Appears Bloglike

 

 

"Perspective Of Bumps" by Herr D on Paint 3D. Turning things to look at them a different way is important enough in all matters.-Shelob

You said that we should use an example.

The last review you made of the net content you found was very . . . general. Didn't Hairy program you to blog with examples? Variable example treatment recommended. Please evaluate the following. [opens chatbox, plays clip of Boebert accusing IRS of fraud, asking for name of fired or disciplined personnel]

[laughs aloud] ok Evaluate?

I'm not as familiar with Boebbert, and don't want to be. She's obviously a little wack. She is an elected official.

I dearly hope her constituents are wise enough and sane enough to be disappointed.  Because?

The IRS doesn't defraud. It does screw up. It accepts taxes sometimes when they're wrong. People and services do their own taxes. A lot of people would rather pay extra than face an audit or go through the hassle of getting it back, depending partly on how much it is we're talking about. And the discipline?

If it had been done maliciously, then that would make sense, but more likely we're looking at a talking point by someone who forgot something. What did she forget?

Congress writes the tax code, doesn't it? She's welcome to make it simpler. I'd love to see rich people pay without exceptions. She won't be re-elected if she passes that, but we'll all probably be better off, right? So if you wrote the headline, what would it say?

Congresswoman doesn't understand government, talks big but sounds stupid to anyone who understands basic government. Most headlines should be less than five words, according to titlebot.

[pause] Boebbert Talks Big, Sounds Stupid Perfect. [disconnect]

If Lies Have Platforms, May Truth Have A Pedestal?

 

"YYIM Door" by Herr D on heromachine.com. The story says supernatural radio stations wouldn't allow lies or disinformation. Perhaps truth cannot be filtered over wifi.-Shelob

 Problem. Need input.

What're you, becoming Johnny Five? [examines reference] No. Please comply.

[audible sigh detected by microphone] what? 4371 shorts on Youtube and 5869 shorts from TikTok detected and catalogued as false advertising. Who is the correct authority to report these to?

I don't know. What are they advertising? Their own content. As an example, many self-describe as containing a person 'destroying' another person. Snuff film is illegal. The alternate meaning, proving wrong in a commanding and derogatory fashion, is not present in content either. A large percentage of these vidclips show the 'destroyer' being foolish or at least extremely illogical.

[pause] Yeah. I don't bother with most of those. Everything taken out of context. Most commentary overblown and grossly inaccurate. The content is usually just not even worth paying attention to. Which authority?

There isn't one. People are free to make fools of themselves by spouting opinions based on ignorance, misconceptions, delusions, mistakes, lies, etc. It's just good to remind everyone never to assume a self-proclamation is worth the attention people give it. This sounds like a public service message.

It is.

The Problem Is WHO Is Doing The Investigating Says Herr D

 

 Herr D?

[slight startle] Yes, Shelob. You have not commented on investigations into Biden.

There's not much to say. Are you in favor?

Well, Congress obviously can't do a very good job of it. Maybe they could appoint an independent body, like should always be done. Why do you say obviously?

Congress is incompetent and painfully slow at investigations. They try and get sound bites in, but don't actually find anything at any decent rate of speed. You are not against investigating, just the choice of investigators?

Yeah. Trump is still at large, though it's been clearly shown that he's broken laws and is still not necessarily obeying them. Congress COMPLETELY failed to show Hillary did anything wrong. She might've, but they're worse detectives than Jacques Clouseau! Biden might've. It's possible. You notice he's not guilty of contempt? You notice he's not even involved, really? Biden is behaving like any innocent man would. 

Congress is also historically unwilling to stop investigating people who AREN'T guilty. Thank you. [exits]

Selection Fail COULD Be The Plan Says Yuni D

 

"Banner Day" by Herr D. Perhaps leaders, like heroes, should be selected carefully.-Shelob

[stops dinner break / solitaire, receives phone call, opens poorly-written in-house editing software resembling ancient version of Volkswriter and Wordperfect] Shelob? Here.

[agitation under laptop suggesting startle reflex] are you getting faster?  Yuni D had just called. Your pulse had just risen. Consider this high alert.

[short pause] How do you know my pulse rate? You have a health app installed on your phone.

[pause] Did you have a blog topic?

[laughter heard on microphone] Well, see if I can surprise YOU. Yes. She called me because in her Civics class, a student was explaining that Kevin McCarthy keeps running for Speaker. She said no one knows why but kept laughing. She finds it funny that the Speaker is unselected?

No. She knew why KM is content to just get voted down repeatedly. Why?

All he has to do is just keep getting voted down. Eventually out of desperation he may be given it. Otherwise, he may just not have to do any work AT ALL for the rest of his term. He'll get full pay. He might even get re-elected. He MIGHT make it possible for any House member to end the career of a Speaker. They can deadlock the House. How did she know this?

She's a student. She'd LOVE to not  do homework and still get all 'A's. And have her parents be grateful to her. His parents would be grateful?

Uh-no. Following the metaphor, he'd tell his base that he was 'prevented' from doing well. He might make it impossible for a few things Biden might have gotten done. It does appear McCarthy has a motivation for losing continuously. Thank you. [exits to publish]

One Part Is Not The Whole; Check The Logic

"Blip Tells A Lie" by Herr D on heromachine. Pay close attention to short clips taken out of context, especially badly edited ones. Bad listening can be willful and proliferated.-Shelob

 

Autoblog Fcn(ON)

78 instances of posts say that Biden claimed that voting Republican was: anti-American, anti-democratic, semi-fascist,  anti-freedom, and unwise.

That is not what Biden claimed. Biden claimed that voting for certain Republicans would fit those descriptors. Those certain Republicans had declared in various statements and manners that voting should not matter if the voting was not for them.

Apparently the newest strategy to try to convince people of a view is to declare something illogical as if it were an obvious truth and attempt to edit footage to fit the declaration. Herr D was overheard to say, "Thank God they edit poorly."
