Glad I’m not the only one that can’t stop questioning literally everything I didn’t see with my own two eyes.

Yea I feel like when scenes were in the house they were trying to represent the atmosphere and feeling of the Davidians rather than how your average viewer would judge the situation. What ended up happening was that Koresh never got truly judged by the show. All we get is the BS narrative the law enforcement made and the davidian point of view. Did Koresh brainwash and manipulate adults into marrying him? Yes. Did he do the same to other adults and convince them to marry their children to him? Yes. Was this all legal? Yes. The part they did not represent well in the show is how fucking sadistic and manipulative this is.

I feel like anonymous sources are very important and should be used to report. Sometimes these sources would be in danger if revealed. These are the stories that definitely need to be discussed. Not utilizing them would lead to less being known about important topics.

I’m more concerned that a lot of journalists in the big networks these days are more focused on highlighting differences of opinion rather than reporting facts and allowing their consumers to draw conclusions. I feel like journalism is a lost art and very few today still practice it. Even those aware of this issue cannot stop themselves from falling into the same trap a lot of the time.

Non-traditional media sources like independent podcasts and YT channels often criticize networks for what I point out above but can’t help themselves from divisively reporting on this issue. They hate network news and their shitty practices and it’s the reason they have the passion to do what they do. Not sure if anyone feels the same way.
