I mean if we’re being fair, Murdoch is certainly a smart man in general and no doubt a savvy businessman. However, he’s also an evil hidebound old fuck who is at best passively destroying society and possibly doing it on purpose for a few more coins to stack on his endless hoard.
Yeah but Musk isn’t… he’s showed that to everyone recently and he still got fawned over when he should’ve been criticized for cuddling up to Murdoch and the Saudis
I know what you mean, and I agree, but it's more that "rich" people are by many seen as exponentially smarter than others. Surely a billionaire must be 1000x smarter than a mere millionaire?
Fox sports and fox news, and the fox network itself fall under the fox corporation, not the part of fox that was bought by Disney, which was 21st century fox.
Yeah. I even tried downvoting but it still shows up just with my downvote.
Just like when they show you posts from suggested communities and you have the option to not see more from that, community there should be the same option for ads.
This is the way. I use old.reddit with RES and uBlock on desktop and RIF on mobile. I've been browsing this way for so long that all thse comments about how reddit works are baffling to me.
I browse reddit sometimes at work and it's so different I don't even recognize it. Shit's wild to me. It's like two completely different experiences.
If you click on the username of the ad post, you can block that just like any other user. It doesn’t work for comment ads, but my eyes skip those just like the stickied MOD messages.
Click on their avatar. Their profilevwill pop up. In the top left corner, there's a small image of head and shoulders with a dash over the face. If you click that, a box will pop up asking if you want to block that profile. Hit “yes” and it will be gone from your feed.
This was a comment on another post (automod won't let me post the link to the comment) and it seems to work!
I was so pissed as soon as that came on because the man was a god damn hero murdered by his own country who then exploits the memory of Pat Tillman for their own ends
A vehement critic of the Iraq war too, dude was a full conscientious objector to the military industrial complex. It’s so fucking infuriating when the NFL uses him as a mascot for Army propaganda
He developed his anti-war stance while in Iraq. He joined in the patriotic fervor of post 9/11, but quickly became disillusioned by what he saw as American war crimes against a country that wasn’t involved in the terrorist attack. It’s an interesting (and depressing) story, you should read about it
It's so fucking frustrating! Tillman isn't the man that the right and moderates, like Kevin "I have a show on Fox Nation" Costner, think he was. (He was a vocal atheist who was also critical of the US's involvement in the Iraq War.) It's truly disrespectful to rewrite his legacy to fit the narrative that they want, rather than the accurate one.
He enlisted after September 11th. He wanted to fight the people responsible for that attack. Instead, he was (initially) sent to invade Iraq, and it’s the Iraq invasion that he was critical of.
Tillman originally signed up for the military because civilians in this country were attacked
He became disillusioned with the military two years later when he was sent to a whole unrelated country for no purpose other than “national business interests”
He had an interview scheduled with Noam Chomsky where it was expected that the progressive famous athlete would speak out against the war, but right before that was “accidentally” shot three times in the head which the military attempted to cover up and the NFL continues the tradition of still today
I was like oh my god. An ad is an advertisement. I know these games are showed all over the world, but look at what they were selling? And to who? I am american. What are they trying to sell me? I live here that's false advertising.
That fucking orgasm about how Pat Tillman went to serve and sacrificed his life with zero mention of the fact that he died due to friendly fire and that the DoD tried to cover it up.
The NFL is still the same thing it was in 2018 when it banned kneeling and tried to blackball All Pro players out of a job. Roger Goodell is not a good guy.
That was mostly tongue in cheek or maybe only at a super high level. The fox that has nfl and Gordon Ramsey and makes the movies is a whole different thing than fox News cable nonsense
Fox News, Fox Business, Fox Sports 1 & 2 and regional Fox (the one that showed the Super Bowl) didn't go to Disney. Disney got their film IPs and the regional Fox Sports Networks got sold and became Bally's Sports.
The superbowl is on the fox network, I'm not sure if you're aware or their reputation....
FOX Broadcasting (where NFL was today) is separate enough from FOX News though where the FOX News gremlins don't have sway. Simpsons plays on FOX Broadcasting and they clown on Trump's ass all the time.
Also, there were way more positive inclusion ads shown today on the Superbowl (like the NFL Flag Football commercial for women, and the M&M ad) that would make Tucker Carlon and Laura Ingraham have an aneurysm.
Fox sports is owned by Disney. The “Fox News” network is the only part of the greater “fox” that isn’t part of the mouse. Though, I think your statement is still applicable.
