To the NPCs, that means you're now a russian bot :D

non-player character.

Basically in the meme world a NPC is a person that has no soul, emotion, empathy for anything anyone.

and it comes from video games where NPCs have a defined set of phrases they can use and are also generally driven by the same ai behind them lol

I used to be an adventurer like you...

Stay awhile, and listen...

I am Error.

It's also a way to end the conversation there and completely dismiss an argument without giving it any critical though.

Hey, you talkin bout my ex bro?! Lol

Facebook is the media.

Are these referencing the same story discussed during the beginning portion of their round table discussion?

https://www.cnet.com/news/facebook-pulls-down-more-than-800-pages-and-accounts-ahead-of-midterm-elections/ http://time.com/5422546/facebook-removes-800-fake-news-accounts/ https://www.cnn.com/2018/10/11/tech/facebook-removes-pages/index.html https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2018/10/11/facebook-purged-over-accounts-pages-pushing-political-messages-profit/?noredirect=on http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-facebook-political-messages-purge-20181011-story.html

Multiple sources clearly covered the story - whether or not they too had a roundtable discussion about it, I don't know. But you suggested the following:

Does our own media actually think "Well, if we don't cover it, it's not happening."?

and

It's just more proof that our media are more than willing to collude with whoever they have to in order to quash their competition in order to control the narrative.

They clearly did nothing to quash the narrative...they just didn't treat it with as much importance as you think they should have.

So now you want journalists injecting personal beliefs into their stories? Great idea, dude...

Of course they do. But last I checked that was a bad thing.

Never thought I’d see the day where a user in conspiracy was bemoaning the lack of journalists injecting their own beliefs into a news story. But, again, provided it’s an opinion you support, it’s not a bad thing, right?

Editorials are a bad thing now?

They aren’t bad but they aren’t news.

You guys are biased retards. Opinion is quite common in the news, in fact it's an integral part of it. When there is a sudden vacuum in opinion from usually opinionated newspeople that may be indicative of something, and news for this sub. It's also evident that you are feebleminded people that just buy into the russiascare and don't like the source. One of the most important ways to question sources is to use others to compare, and use of RT is definitely an acceptable means of so doing. Quit your mainstream gatekeeping, it has nothing to do on this sub.

Opinions are not News. That’s why they are separated out as Editorials.

Removed. Rule 4.

Weak.

Not in the proper context, of course not. But OP is bemoaning bias in MSM ("They didn't cover the story - it's because they don't want to talk about it!") while simultaneously calling for more bias ("They should've told us how they really felt in those stories I totally said didn't exist...").

So, basically, you want the MSM to editorialize on a topic you find acceptable, but not editorialize on topics you don't find acceptable. Got it.

Face it - you made a claim that was demonstrably false. It happens. But to turn around and suddenly claim you actually want opinion-based reporting (but again, just on the topics you find deserving of editorializing) is a new low.

Dude. You literally claimed no one in the MSM was talking about this...

...I then showed you 5 different examples of when the MSM discussed this.

It's not my fault that your hypothesis was easily proven wrong by a 2-minute Google search.

They didn't discuss shit.

...except the whole 800-account purge, which is what the RT roundtable discussion was about.

All they did was put out some articles.

Which is usually how journalism covers things - they write stories.

And you haven't proven anything wrong. The MSM and social media platforms "ARE" colluding in censoring and suppressing the competition.

You said the evil MSM didn't cover it. They clearly did. There's really not much room to wiggle on that fact. You just don't like that they didn't devote round the clock coverage - besides, I thought the whole argument against the MSM was that they spent too much time with round table discussions and entertainment-news. Now, within the context of a story you care about, it's suddenly expected of them?

And they must be pretty terrible at censoring and suppressing this story because as of 3:25 PM, those stories I linked to are still active.

Keep fuckin defending their shit.

The only thing I'm defending them from is your baseless claim that they didn't cover the story.

Check out how the MSM distorts the truth and covers for terrorists.

It says our media is worse than Russian propaganda. That is where we are.

Inb4 a swarm of frothy NPCs roar in here with roaring adoration for our fine MSM establishments. You people are a mob of lemmings.

Of course, if you shift NPC left you get MOB.

They have become a meme singularity. Not surprising for drones who abhor free will.

TIL George Soros, David Brock, and Hilary Clinton are Eskimos.

That's hilarious. A state run media outlet only accountable to a brutal dictator is angry about censorship.

It's more likely they're mad because some of their disinformation platforms were shutdown in the purge.

Your comment neglects to mention that Facebook itself has stated that they specifically went after US based accounts that were providing users politically active content. Oh the irony. Facebook acting like the thought police in the former Soviet Union.

Huge Facebook Censorship Purge Enacted As Atlantic Council/NATO Partnered Social Media Giant Removes Over 800 Alternative Media Accounts

The delusion american press is free.

There is no freedom of information in Russia. I wonder why they would be opposed to restrictions in the USA when they do not follow the same guidelines themselves?

Does our own media actually think "Well, if we don't cover it, it's not happening."?

That model worked for them for quite awhile.

"Does our own media actually think "Well, if we don't cover it, it's not happening.?"

This thing called "reality" is not "real", at lest not in any objective sense...

"Reality" is whatever we (as individuals, or more importantly, en masse) PERCEIVE it to be.

Effectively, this translates to "He who controls perception controls reality".

So then, one could argue that ability to gain monopolistic control of mass perception is perhaps the greatest power of all, no?

So then, if the above premise is sound, what would be the greatest THREAT to those seeking a monopoly on "perception"?

I would think that it would be any person or group that is able to expose, on a large scale, the deceptions and misdirections proffered by those that seek to monopolize "Perception > Reality", no?

This explains the need for CENSORSHIP

There is a battle for our minds -- and it seems that our minds are not faring well.

I watch people like Chris Hedges, Max Keiser and Jesse Ventura on RT because they say things that American media would not let them. Also Mike Pap, America's Lawyer, is a personal injury lawyer who talks about harmful products and big dollar lawsuits that are going on now.

Check out how the MSM distorts the truth and covers for terrorists.
