When I was 16 there were better things to do than pay attention to the news. I mean if the "adults" were struggling to solve complex issues, why give me anxiety over it. The over riding goal today has become attention capture/Like/View/Click collection. But this is a temporary blip.

Edit: Of course, I have no idea if Tay was a real person in the first place, or just a personality created by deep fakers.

Does anybody have a source (CJ or traditional) that is unbiased? It seems that everything from mass media to small tiktokers are so biased, I can't believe anything they say.
