Found it, it’s NBC. But really google "luigi among us": the news are seriously trying to drum up the DANGERS OF VIDEO GAME VIOLENCE again based on Luigi Mangione playing Among Us.

Next up at 11 - are chess and Risk players secretly warmongers?

Yes but it's unrelated

That's because their Orange Messiah has promised to ban video games as part of Project 2025.

Anyone thinking about engaging in direct action of any kind should consider embracing the absurdity. Imagine how stupid it would make the police look to beat up on a bunch of protestors wearing puffy amogus suits. It's more than a joke, it's historically been effective in opposing authoritarianism.

"Journalists" like this should be held responsible for the BS they spew. If there are no consequences they'll just continue...

They usually never lie. They frame things in incredibly misleading ways, leave out context, etc. but they technically just report facts. Its shitty, but from a legal standpoint there is no way to make this illegal without heavily restricting journalists ability to do anything.
