  • There has always been true journalists, and it seems there are periods where groups become more prominent in waves, like you describe with that period, but, at least from the many news papers I have read from that time, from the US, Canada, and the UK it was all corporate voice, and extremely ham fisted government propaganda, and that portion of journalism seems to be outlier. Newspapers needs sales, Ads need viewer, etc., and sensationalist bullshit, outrage, and gossip, have always been the solution to that.

    I can’t tell you how many ads I have seen for over consumption, especially of questionable shit, with the US government calling for being a real American, or whatever, that buys this American product. Write-ups about military actions, especially ones with natives, that are basically just fabricated stories about brave christian soldiers protecting innocent homesteaders from the savages. When I first started looking these up I was kinda surprised at how bad it was actually, and I was expecting pretty much the same. The biggest thing I noticed was that there was a LOT more long form article 200 years ago. However they, like today, were largely industry/political puff pieces, socialite blather, etc.

    Also, the amount of casual libel in century plus old news papers is insane. Absolutely would not fly today.











  • Here the tray of thawed, and the tube of frozen, ground turkey are the same price. Ground pork, that is ground by the meat department, is the same price. Various brands of ground pork are a little more expensive though. I also believe that almost all meat has been frozen before making it to the store, local butchers, and specialty places may differ.



  • I wish ground turkey was cheaper than pork here. Pork is the cheapest meat I can get where I am. Here are the current cheapest prices I can get shit per pound.

    Ground Turkey - $3.78

    Ground Chuck - $5.22

    Chicken Breast - $3.77

    Chicken Thighs - $3.83

    Chicken Drumsticks - $.98 (last package I bought had an actual meat yeild that made them $2.70 w/o bones. etc.

    Whole pork loin - $2.48
