I can see the military being a little more "involved", but I think anyone's right to privacy and personal space went out the window the minute they got off the bus at basic training lol.

Time to post my seemingly bi-monthly post with links to a collection of quotes showing old people have always complained that the youth are lazy, entitled, stupid, wasteful, and immoral.
25 Quotes in 2,500 Years Proving We Always Blame the Younger Generation

DEAR STUPID YOUNG PEOPLE OF THE ENTITLED GENERATION: A Word of Advice.
Has anybody told you recently that your generation is “the Me Me Me Generation” of “lazy, entitled narcissists”?¹ Perhaps you have been…
Will check back in 10 years.
I never did either. The 2 generations before me generally seem to be more “moral”. And they generally seem to care about current events and world issues at a younger age.I never said they were immoral.

Absolutely true.
You think the previous generation acts to correct any form of propaganda? Look at who owns the most insidious of media conglomerates, who controls the government, who shares the most false information (fake news if you will) on social media. Hint: it isn't Gen Y or Z. Previous generations aren't fighting propaganda, they are slinging it as much as anyone, if not more so.

considering that some 85% of people become parents by old age, those same parents are the ones represented in the stats. Becoming a parent or a grandparent or a pastor doesn’t magically make you immune to misinformation or imbue you with some infallible capability to separate fact from fiction. Plenty of parents and grandparents who are sitting at the thanksgiving table talking about how they’re making the frogs gay or whatever and pushing that re-tweet (re-X? Whatever it’s called today) button.
I suppose you don't believe in propaganda from anyone except conservatively-minded people? I would argue that the amount of outright lying going on with mainstream media is proof that there is more mainstream propaganda from the liberally-minded at the moment.
And there it is. Don’t think that warrants much more of a response than that. Have a good day
Humor impaired I see. That explains a lot.
Objectively false, but nice try.
How is what I said objectively false? I would love to hear what I said that was wrong?
"I would argue that the amount of outright lying going on with mainstream media is proof that there is more mainstream propaganda from the liberally-minded at the moment."
Last attempt to make this make sense - mainstream media is considered mainstream because most people are getting their news from that source. That source has been proven multiple times to have been controlled and coerced to publish false information as "facts" to sway the general public...generally considered to be equivalent to at least one definition of "propaganda".
Honest question - what are the most reputable news sources for you?

Guess it depends on whose morals were being used. Jim Crow Laws and women's rights weren't exactly bastions of moral superiority by earlier generations. However, I'm a firm believer that you have to judge the people against what was accepted/normal in that period. Trying to apply current morality to previous eras generally results in nothing but unfavorable comparisons.
Amen to that! Underappreciated by the angry mobs of today who wish to rewrite history, usually to amplify some traits that we view as negative in today's standards.
Yes, actually. Fox is not what I would consider a reputable news source nor is it a shining beacon or even a nightlight of conservative ideals. In fact, if Fox is what you think of when you think "conservative", I totally understand your contempt for such ideals.
Where do you get your news from them, primarily?
If I actively research some current event, more and more I end up abroad -- averaging the "takes" from BBC/Economist and Al-Jazeera for example.
I try to avoid the news cycle when possible. When I do need to read the news, I tend to treat it like a research project, especially if it's in any way related to politics. I read at least one article or watch at least one video from as many news agencies as possible, both left and right leaning, and then figure out where all the stories match. The stuff that doesn't match is treated as historical fiction - it could be right, it could be wrong, but I'm not basing any opinions on it. It's not perfect, but it's the best method that I've come up with so far.
Never forget that the core business of modern media outlets is to SELL ADVERTISING. If they can deliver some extra factoids about current events, that's nice, but the main thing is they want to sell ads. They're not necessarily malicious, they're just a business doing business things. We'd all do the same thing if were the CEO (or we'd be fired).
Isn't that just an aggregator, though?
My initial response was going to make a joke about how bad the others must be for a weather site to be the most reliable news station.National and Local Weather Radar, Daily Forecast, Hurricane and information from The Weather Channel and weather.com
The Weather Channel and weather.com provide a national and local weather forecast for cities, as well as weather radar, report and hurricane coverage
