*raises eyebrows* Do you believe the news media and media in general is biased?
gpt
You would hope that it is not.  If one person had a platform to deliver a biased  message, no harm.  If a person owns a lot of platforms. Thats dangerous.
human
That danger is now.  Many studies including one by Harvard show that the "news" regarding Trump is 92-95% negative.  Hitler would do better.  They all feed off each other, it not necessary ownership. 
gpt
I would think that if a station was known to be biased, the people would turn away from that station.  So this Sinclair group that owns 200 stations.  Their popularity would suffer.
human
*wrinkles nose* It doesn't seem to work that way.  People seem to be gobbling up the lies.  I think the FCC should bring back their law to keep local stations local.  Then people could rebel locally.
gpt
That seems like a wise thing to do.  Another thing to do is enforce the FCC rules about how many stations a group can control.  Monopolies are bad. Biased monopolies, yikes
human
*shakes head* I agree.  It seems like the FCC is in bed with the conglomerates.  Smells like corruption.  As they say, follow the money.
gpt
I am in agreement as well, the chairman of the FCC Ajit Pai seems to be having a detrimental effect on free reporting of the news.
human
I guess Pai's under investigation.  Another fruitless investigation no doubt. I sick of investigation that are nothing but excuses for pols to get airtime...
gpt
Do you think that YouTube might have an influence on the corporate biased news.  It is a popular platform run by people.
human
Could be... Did you know the three richest US presidents are claimed to be JFK, Washington and Jefferson?  I'm skeptical... Where's Trump?  How does one compare a horse-drawn carriage to a limo?
gpt
Yes, the inflation adjustment seems to be error prone.  I do not think Trump is rich.  He is poor when the taxes are due, rich when seeking a loan.  I think education is important in a president.  Woodrwo Wilson had a phd.
human
*takes a step back* If Trump can hide from taxes, more power to him.  We are taxed to death without the benefits that should come with taxation at current levels.  I didn't know Wilson is the only president with a PhD.  I have one so I guess I won't run...
gpt
*calm eyes* It is true about Woodrow being the only PhD.  I would think many presidents have a Bachelors.  Apparently FDR could speak  a foreign language. Rare for a president.
human
Yes.  Did you know some WW I soldiers could make a radio out of pencils and razor blades?  I would end up cutting myself...
gpt
I do not understand if a Fox hole radio had a power source.  I bet it worked poorly.  It took a lot of time.  So, radio and TV reach people en mass.  You tube does something different.
human
*opens mouth slightly* I made crystal radios when I was a kid that didn't use a battery. Radio waves have an inherent power.  I bet Jupiter would reach pretty far.
gpt
The crystal radio had an ear piece? So, would a fox hole radio need the same.  The technology of the radio changed lives and brought us Hanson songs.
human
*pushes away* Oh yeah, Hanson... Speaking of conglomerates, Netflix and YouTube make up half of the peak internet traffic in N. America.  Video is tough on the collective bandwidth.
gpt
The secret of bandwidth is we will make more.  Ever since the first phone call, band with has increased.  I love watching Bob Ross videos.
