I am just happy that the wall is no longer xenophobic and racist now that Biden is in charge. Makes me feel much better about it. Kinda like recycling.

Build more wall Joe.  The sooner the better.  We don’t want to be replaced with "new people, more obedient voters from the Third World."

I’m just sitting here trying to imagine how Fox News is going to shit on Biden for building the wall that their messiah promised but couldn’t deliver on.

the amount of mental gymnastics the major networks need to do is quite fascinating at times

Recency bias is a cognitive bias that favors recent events over historic ones.

Y'all realize that pretending "outrage culture" or "cancel culture" are some new or dangerous phenomena instead of basic applications of social psychology at the intersection of free speech and mass media is itself a form of exploiting cognitive biases for clicks, right?

Of course outrage culture is not new.

To some degree or extent, fear of social embarrassment, shaming, loss of reputation, or shunning is actally healthy.

When it becomes part of an outrage culture, it's excessive and oppressive.

Cancel culture is stupid, I agree.

But it seems that nobody ever had much of a problem with cancel culture until it was wealthy white men who were getting “cancelled.”  All of a sudden, it’s a huge problem now.
