Newsbot - yay or nay

Phtha · 04-15-2009, 05:11 PM

well.. I for one do not think that Avalon is the place to be bombarded with front page mainstream news, bbc in this case.
Personally I stay way clear of any of the alphabet news websites because at the very best we are getting half-truths that are geared towards an agenda that is not for the welfare of the people. These pirate stories are a perfect example.

If I wanted read bbc (and I really don't) I would visit their site. Also it is a bot and there is a lack of human emotion in the posts I find.

In summery, it's bad energy, in my opinion.

What say you?

Orion11 · 04-15-2009, 05:12 PM

agreed.

Czymra · 04-15-2009, 05:20 PM

Nyash. Couldn't agree more. I think that human posted articles with doom and gloom at least offer an interesting perspective, but just parsing the Beeb, is someting I can do on my own.

JoyAnna · 04-15-2009, 08:56 PM

Well, silly me! I didn't realize this was a webBot

. I have been deleating or marking as read almost all of these posts for a while, which takes valuable time away from reading the people-posts. Gradually learning to be more assertive and self sufficient, I just put NewsHound on my "ignore" list.

Antaletriangle is much better than the bot

alyscat · 04-15-2009, 09:34 PM

Actually, I find him endearing. and I also recognize he's MSM. Sometimes I wonder what the MSM is up to. It's sort of like Keep your Friends Close and your Enemies Closer. LOL I get the NYT tweets, curious to see what is being written these days. I love Antaletrangle's choice of things for us to read, but I also like to see what the other side is trying to sell us.

Jeeese lazy or what, everything is only a click away.

Ok i agree with you now. There is no choice. It only effects us, if we allow it to..
Either way Phtha,just haveing fun.

Dantheman62 · 04-15-2009, 10:23 PM

Newsbot is just front page news, if I want front page news I go to the front page!

I say off with his head!

avyaktam · 04-15-2009, 10:46 PM

I felt a bit stupid yesterday when I found out it was a bot, after Pm-ing complaining about 'thread littering'.

I don't mind if it stays, in a way it is handy.
Like aha, the PTB are focusing attention on North Korea.

I think however that, if it stays, that it should have it's own section away from human thread starters.

That's one thing I do know.

Hmm 15/1 so far. I thought for sure birdy would get more votes to stay based its cute factor alone.

Phtha · 04-17-2009, 03:42 AM

Yes thank you Mr.Admin.

And don't worry, Birdy is still fine, It just has its sights set on higher things now.

Luminari · 05-24-2009, 06:31 AM

The NewsHound/News Bot is back from the dead and spamming us all with unwanted mainstream news articles again!

Help
