Re: Headlines that signal that the story will be misleading and/or stupid

Not one specific headline, but rather, anything with "expert" in the headline.


I saw three articles in a row today that sais what experts say. Oddly enough, the experts said things that agreed with the bias of the author. "Experts say I am always right."

Re: Planet America

No evidence of 'furries' in Nebo School District despite allegations, social media firestorm Oh yeah. I read that article. He (Seth Sorenson) was lying. There was lots of evidence. There were masks, not just animal ears. There was indeed food thrown, not because of animal ear headbands, but because...

Re: Planet America

It has been about 48 hours since I read anything really new about that middle school. So here's what, in my opinion, makes it worthy as a "Planet America" story. First and foremost, everything is political. A junior high drama goes national. It turns out the guy who made the protest video ...

Re: Planet America

it's not a "one size fits all" fantasy. but it's an obvious ingredient...and close to home. Yeah, one size does not fit.all. I knew some kids who went to traditional schools, public or private, and did really well. In all seriousness, it's true that there are some great coutcomes for peop...

Re: Planet America

That's basically crushed these days, homelessness replacing it; dignity destroyed for the worst of reasons. Americans should be outraged, because FREEDOM and all that hype...but they mostly don't even know alternatives existed. same with school When it comes to school, Americans are outraged, and a...

Re: Planet America

Insufficient data to answer the question. Exactly. Perhaps all the barking and mask wearing was a response to all the publicity. We don't know. The first "publicity" would have been an email sent to parents last week. At the time of the email, "it", i.e. some sort of animal fash...

Re: Planet America

We can confirm that there were masks. There was barking. The photos and videos have been corroborated. Kids did complain about the animal behavior. Did the masks and barking start before, or after people started pulling out phones and taking video? What was the very first complaint about ? Was it a...

Re: Planet America

easy: home schooling. Easy? I know people who have done it with great success. In each case, the woman, who was always the primary teacher, was very intelligent, and, for lack of a better word, disciplined. i.e. She wasn't flighty. She wasn't lazy. She was the sort who could stick to a schedule and...

Re: Planet America

The middle school situation should be in textbooks of how not to handle public relations. Some of the allegations were true. Some were not, or are at best unconfirmed. We can confirm that there were masks. There was barking. The photos and videos have been corroborated. Kids did complain about the a...

Re: Planet America

When some 10 year old says to Mommy and Daddy that he's really a Honey Badger, look the fuck out! :) Otherwise, make these feral little shitheads stick to a dress code or kick them out of school. There now, stupid fucking problem solved. As best I can tell, that's basically what they did. It just t...
