  • 'Deep fakes' most sinister threat yet to U.S. elections, devastating to democracy

    Maybe Democrats and Republicans need to come together to form a “truth” site. The news media used to be trusted to give the impartial truth, but not anymore. I see lies by many politicians, but people excuse it and say “but did he really say that?” or I don’t believe anything I hear on (name a TV channel) or read in (name a newspaper.) What if people from both ends of the political spectrum jointly announced that something was or was not true. (Like the fake images described in this article.)

    I don’t understand what this has to do with masculinity. These people recognized the danger and behaved heroically to try to protect people and help them escape. I give them my respect. But if it had been a woman who threw the chair through a window and helped people escape I would still call her a hero, not masculine. Think of female members of the military, athletes, EMTs, etc. who could have done the same had they been in that position. Acting heroically is not limited to one sex.
