Comment on ‘Close to zero impact’: US study casts doubt on effect of phone ban in schools

Agreed on the lack of legitimate publications. Pretty much every mainstream news source is compromised. You just have to piece together the truth from independent sources and read between the lines.
They make their agenda kind of transparent just in what they do choose to cover (like Bezos’ papers hyping billionaires and AI) vs what they choose not to cover (perpetual and well documented rape murder and other war crimes by Israel).

Couldn’t agree more, oddly enough to understand what they are saying you have to zoom way out, see what’s not being said, see how phrasing is implicitly shaping their narrative, etc. All the subtle techniques eventually produce enough evidence to sum up one’s observations into a really big and gross elephant. Standing right there. And somehow kind of invisible to many. Formerly to oneself.
It’s difficult, and I mean, big surprise lol, they’re basically engineered to be that way, it’s all so tiring like ya said.
No hate to elephants, elephants are fucking great

That’s such a great description, you somehow start being able to see through the mist if you pay attention to a topic for long enough and the details coalesce into a clear picture of the situation.
I’m sure the wool is still over my eyes on some important things but my bullshit detector is constantly improving.
