The #BrokenTimes #bothsidesing has become a perversity.

Dara O'Briain once did a bit on how the #media did this false equivalence thing on all the soft-ish sciences like medicine, but thankfully not on the harder stuff, like physics & astronomy.

It did not age well.

Pretty sure he didn't imagine that 15 years in the future the #press would be actively & gleefully #bothsidesing f**king ANYTHING!, up to & including actual, current, observable reality.

That whole 'We Deserve It for not doing XYZ' thing is such an abuser line

It's spread by #bothsidesing pundits in corporate media to folks who aren't paying attention to
#Gerrymandering
#VoterSuppression
#PushPolls & other dirty tricks

Good thing they called in the *scientists*.

I think it's getting closer & closer to the day that i simply must abandon #ABC #RadioNational. I mean, i'm acutely aware that the universe has only a finite number of screams, eyerolls & facepalms left in her. Yet, #RN increasingly places excess demands upon me for an apparently unending number of ๐Ÿ™„ , ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ & ๐Ÿ˜ฑ , not to mention ๐Ÿคข & ๐Ÿคฎ . I fear that i shall single-handedly / facedly consume most of the universe's remaining, ever-dwindling, reserve of these essential resources, & *then* where would we all be? ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ ๐Ÿคฏ

It just seems like at any hour of the day or night i'm at great risk of rollie palmie screamie danger by chancing across Yet Another Fscken Religious RN Programme, or another #RWNJ ex-pollie's pgm, or another #RWNJ commentariat arsehole's pgm. I mean, there's only so many #PhillipAdams to go around, as antidote to these rapacious bastards, & he's not a young man anymore!

What's more, in the current depressing #TheVoice climate, RN keeps vigorously #bothsidesing every other nanosecond, such that if those preceding aural turds were not bad enough, i also have to expend said vital universe resources to stave off all the frequent #RWNJ #racist lies & drivel.

It's just so appalling, & galling. T'other week, i ran a dry-run test of #ABC #NewsRadio as a possible replacement, but aaaaaaaaarrrrrrrgghhh, there's only so many times one can hear the identical news reports over & over & over each fifteen minutes before one's ears bleed & skull explodes. Or, maybe better expressed, before one "died of internal haemorrhaging" or "gnaws one of one's own legs off" or one's "major intestine leapt up one's neck and throttled one's brain in a desperate bid to save life and civilisation" ๐Ÿณ ๐ŸŒป ... ๐Ÿ˜‰

Returning to ABC #LocalRadio, eg, #702, is out of the question, due to the combination of ridiculously faux-cheerful hosts, constant traffic reports, intermingled with compassionate stories on navel fluff knitting & lamington origami.

Sadly, i aged-out of #TripleJay #2JJJ, three hundred years ago, whilst #DoubleJay #2JJ is only a tolerable replacement for short periods given its 702-esque-cheery JJJ-aged-out hosts, & great music from the 70s & 80s that i loved & danced with friends to, whilst my inner turmoil was still a couple of decades from bursting out & decimating my existence, hence the evocative memories are just ongoing torment, to be avoided as much as possible.

It ofc bears no explanation whatsoever that all commercial AM & FM options are ... NOT options [she sneers euphemistically & with great understatement].

Prolly this leaves little logical alternative to poking out my eardrums with a rusty skewer. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

News outlets continue their policy of #bothsidesing in their coverage of the #war in #Ukraine. Search results for Ukraine immediately bring up a barrage of unpretentious Russian #propaganda about "cluster munitions" (the mention of cluster munitions is a mandatory feature of Russian #fake news, which makes them easily recognizable), that allegedly hit a university in Donetsk, temporarily controlled by Russia, or about an "attack on civilian tanker near Crimean Bridge". https://www.reuters.com/site-search/?query=Ukraine
