In legitimate news: TEVA settled their opioid lawsuit for $85 million (because they were scheduled to go on trial tomorrow morning)
This is exactly what's going to happen with Alex Jones, because anybody who has passed the bar will urge their clients to settle out of court when it's obvious they're going to lose the civil litigation, advising them it's better to lose a shitload of money than to lose EVERY PENNY.

IN LEGITIMATE NEWS: the term 'oven fresh' is a misnomer and and oxymoron, because cooking is a process, and 'freshness of food' means it was 'recently obtained and hasn't undergone a process'

IN LEGITIMATE NEWS: during warm weather, if you stand under tress, you will feel a slight mist of tiny little droplets of water landing on you.
trees perform a process called 'gutation', where they release droplets of excess water.
but that's very rare.
the tiny droplets of 'water' you'll feel landing all over you are called 'honeydew', and it's the urine and defecation of aphids and other insects.

IN LEGITIMATE NEWS: America celebrates Memorial Day today, where we honor soldiers who have died in war.
but 99% of Americans aren't celebrating anything other than a day off of work, and an opportunity for gluttony and alcoholism.
Only 1% of Americans are lame enough to waste their time 'honoring' somebody stupid enough to participate in a war, or idiotic enough to refuse to be drafted into a war.

IN LEGITIMATE NEWS: the music from the 60s & 70s is looked back on fondly.
It is widely considered to be 'better than' today's music, and is associated with a nostalgic declinism, where people long for the 'good old days'.
However, upon listening to that older music, it becomes self evident that it actually sucks.
Today's music is awful, too.
It's really just a matter of NO MUSIC being good.

IN LEGITIMATE EXAMPLES OF LEGITIMATE NEWS: here's a perfect example of a 'nostalgic classic' that people consider to be a legitimate example of 'back when music was different'
It IS indeed different, but not in a good way.
It's primal, it's boring, it's amateurish, and it sucks

IN LEGITIMATE NEWS: 'the good old days' weren't particularly good.
life sucks.
we only perceive the past as 'being good' in retrospect, but as it's happening, it's nothing special.
we can't look back at the upcoming future that has yet to occur, so of course we look back at the past and process it comparatively to the present moment, and since our current existences aren't particularly great, the past seems more innocent, and somehow 'better'.

IN LEGITIMATE NEWS: nothing ever happens exactly the way you think it's going to happen, and nothing ever happened exactly the way you think you remember it happening.
