Fox News is less biased than NPR.

You joshing us, son???


You're bringing a butter knife to a nuclear war. If you're going to make that claim you need something a hell of a lot more than "you joshing us, son???". :) It's not like this isn't an area that's been investigated to death in media studies 10x over for the past decade+. The data is out there, no need to take anyone's word on it.


Nah.

I was insinuating that Fox News is EXTREMELY biased to the right. But to say that NPR is not left wing leaning... that's a complete joke. Diane Rehm is as much a militant democrat as O'Reilly is a republican. At least O'Reilly is for show. Rehm just has a smugness about her that smacks of distaste for all things republican. She builds one strawman after the other and lets her guests kick them down. Even for shows like PHC or WWDTM, they often delve into "low brow" territory where simply "being republican" is the punchline.

Fox News is almost comedic at this point. NPR is much more insidious.

Also note this website (HN) itself is very left leaning in its ideology. Probably because the vast majority of the viewership adhere to the common SV psychology, which is also left leaning.

Myself? I find it all disgusting, harbor distrust for all media. Like someone else mentioned... a long time ago (before I was born, I'm sure) they stopped telling the news and started hocking style to sell advertising space. You have to be awfully stylish yourself not to get sick of it once in awhile.


They should make a movie where the professors are smarter than the janitors.


if you type finnish into google translate, the results in english are pretty bad.

furthermore, google translate only manages the "written" finnish language... which nobody talks like. everyone uses "spoken" finnish which is not translated at all in google translate.

i wonder how many other languages have this property.


Maybe they get in fewer accidents because they are driving like 8 miles per hour.


Yup. The prevalence of scars is also fairly unknown because, well, the tattoos are covering them up.


Wouldn't the scars show up after laser removal, effectively making laser removal moot?


Scars are skin color though, not pigment color. Also they're not nearly as fine as the original tattoo was. What had bene an easily discernible intricate design in a high contrast color will end up as an indiscernible mush of near-skin-tone scar tissue, like a low degree burn that's healed.


Good god I would never want to work for a manager like the one who wrote the article.

What a lack of self-awareness.
