Local to what? Your town? Your state? The country? The planet?

Fine. What did you learn in this thread about _intersectionality_? Do you consider what you learned, if anything, to be MSM?

So you don’t know anything about MSM but you know enough to reject it out of hand? A lot like how you’ve treated the subject of “intersectionality”. You feel it’s best to comment on an idea or concept from a complete lack of knowledge because nothing like the purity of argument from ignorance?

Who forces you to watch local news? In what way is your town news biased or full of spin? Do you have cable at home so you can watch national and international news? You obviously have internet access so you are not limited to just local news.

Running this through my Earth to Luciano700 translator, what he is saying is that all national news puts a political spin on news, but his local news station does not. But that situation is changing, and his local station is beginning to include a political spin.

**Info Wars** is your best example of MSM? Widen your lens or accept that the premise of your OP is false. You are alt-right.

Great! So go over there, and when somebody over there says something you don’t agree with, complain about it. Over there.

What else do you want me to list? CNN? MSNBC? Fox News? USA Today?

Why is this even a question? Yes I am reading everything that gets posted, minus the posts that are off topic

Because I just wanted to get this off my chest

In your mind, these are the same types of news outlets as InfoWars? Are you capable of differentiating between them in any way?

> [@Luciano700](#):
>
> Why is this even a question? Yes I am reading everything that gets posted, minus the posts that are off topic

It’s a question because you don’t show any evidence of acknowledging or understanding of what being said to you.

Which posts are off topic? The ones that ask you whether non local news sources are available to you through the internet and if you avail yourself of them?

> [@Luciano700](#):
>
> Because I just wanted to get this off my chest

And now that it’s “off your chest” do you understand why you were wrong in your initial and repeated (mis)understanding of the topic? Or are you simply seeking a reaction?

It’s a question because you were asked this question:

Which begs the question if you are actually reading or learning anything.
