The twist being that, if you don't catch it beforehand, Ronald Reagan is revealed as the speaker in the closing seconds.

< CUT OUT I NEAR YOUR COMPUTER OR TVI BREAKING NEWS CONSUMER'S HANDBOOK 1. In the immediate aftermath, news outlets will get it wrong. 2. Don't trust anonymous sources. 3. Don't trust stories that cite another news outlet as the source of the information. 4. There's almost never a second shooter. 5. Pay attention to the language the media uses. • "We are getting reports"... could mean anything. • "We are seeking confirmation"... means they don't have it. • "[News outlet] has learned"... means it has a scoop or is going out on limb. 6. Look for news outlets close to the incident. 7. Compare multiple sources. 8. Big news brings out the fakers. And photoshoppers. 9. Beware reflexive retweeting. Some of this is on you.

the people who made this thing should be treated like dealers who mix fent into drugs.

The funny thing is animals actually can suffer and we slaughter them by the billions but sure let’s have an existential panic over whether a software program screams when we turn it off
