Watching the Hawks: Real News or Just More Noise? (And Is Hawks’ Hair Even Real?!)
Alright, let’s be real, the term “fake news” has become so overused it’s basically lost all meaning. Everyone’s slinging it around like it’s the latest catchphrase. But digging into stuff like “Watching the Hawks,” you kinda gotta wonder, what’s *really* going on?
First off, I stumbled across this Facebook Watch thing of theirs from 2017, right? Talking about Trump, CNN, Russia, and the blurry lines between news and, well, not-news. And it’s got this whole “anti-establishment” vibe going on. Which, okay, I get it. Mainstream media can be a total echo chamber. But is being *anti* establishment automatically mean you’re telling the truth? Not necessarily, right?
Then you see all these other random things popping up. Mentions of Sinclair Broadcasting, which, let’s be honest, has its own agenda. The Red Scare being brought up – like, are we seriously comparing current media landscapes to *that* era? Seems a bit much, tbh. And someone even asked if Hawks’ hair is fake! Like, seriously, what is going on with this guy.
What gets me is the *speed* at which these narratives spread. You got QAnon and Antifa thrown in the same sentence, Democrats being lumped into… whatever… it’s just a freakin’ mess. It feels like everyone’s just grabbing at straws, trying to prove their point, and who cares about the actual, you know, *truth*?
And don’t even get me started on how the US constantly criticizes Russia and China for treating political dissidents like crap, while we’ve got our own dark history of doing the exact same thing. It’s like, pot calling the kettle black, much?
I saw this Pew Research Center thing saying older folks have a hard time spotting fake news. But honestly? I think *everyone’s* struggling. It’s not just about age; it’s about critical thinking. Are we even *trying* to analyze information, or are we just swallowing whatever confirms our own biases?
Look, I don’t have all the answers. I’m just some person ranting on the internet. But “Watching the Hawks,” like a lot of these alternative media sources, throws a lot of stuff at the wall. Some of it might stick. Some of it might be… well, bull.
So, is “Watching the Hawks” fake news? I wouldn’t go that far. But is it a source you should blindly trust? Hell no. Do your own research, people. And maybe, just maybe, google “Is Hawks hair fake?” because that’s the *real* question we should be asking. Just saying.
