EP 003 | The Landon Ball Show, We Fired Cody

Well, if he's not showing up, do we talk about it?

Yeah, we're going to talk about it.

I wanted to read.

I thought Justin's article was very good in the paper that he posted on September.

I believe it was September 30th.

So I wanted to read about that, but also just highlighting paper stuff.

And the Fayette Advertiser is probably this for sure not a sponsor of this show.

And I would doubt it's a promoter of this show.

But I've thought a lot lately in the whole AI slop of the world, like most of.

us are getting our news from what we see in our news feed.

And I think it's, I think local localized content and news has never been more important than now because what is even real anymore? And that's not like a, that's not me saying there's so much AI content that we can't trust that something is real, but like, have you noticed that the Lindsay Clancy stuff came out And now there's like a new article every single day about some mother killing their child as if it's a statistical norm.

Like this is how I think a lot of our childhoods got ruined because we highlighted statistical norms of like kidnapping back in the 80s or 90s.

And I don't have statistical evidence on how frequently kidnappings happened.

But all of a sudden we never let our kids play outside because they might get kidnapped on the corner.

And I'm like, they've posted this story and these different stories so many times that you would think that coming to a mother near you, somebody's going to kill their kids in your neighborhood.

And I think Candace walked through the stats last night of it.

I think there's 450 of those cases per year of those cases.

I think only 40 percent of them are women who the 60 percent are actually men that kill their kids.

And point being that there's not enough statistical relevance for this to be hitting us over and over on our newsfeeds.

Because it's a psyop.

And I'm just saying, I have found myself, I think, when I get on Facebook now, I did this one time, I'm not seeing anything that I want to see on my homepage.

I am primarily going to my groups, and that's where I go.

Like, if I want to read anything on Facebook, I'm trying to read my groups, which is why it was really frustrating.

The Fayette News Exchange just has kind of turned into this, like, I don't even recognize anybody in there.

There's 6,000 members in there.
