Because after a tragedy, nothing makes me feel better than not having to hear Imagine, or, What a Wonderful World on the radio...

So say I have a lot of video previews in ~/.emulationstation/downloaded/whatever to ~/RetroPie/roms/system/snap. For this simple example, it might be easy to replace the paths in the gamelist xml file and then manually mv the files to the new location.
But if it's a mix of locations or naming conventions (even if everything works), it might be a pain. Is there a consolidate command or something to do mass changes?
Do you watch TV channels from your neighbouring country? Do you know more about their politics then they know about the politics from your country? Do you know their celebrities?
The plethora of news outlets and “political specialization” of many pre-existing news agencies has allowed anyone with any set of beliefs to be fed the spin on current events that directly reinforces their belief system.
Prior to the internet age, there was a consolidated media landscape. There were a few national news channels, and they would not be 24 hours long. They held the highest standards in objectivity, and there were even laws in place to make them present both sides of any given issue to be allowed to broadcast. Most people got their news from a small handful of places on the national level, and from their respective local outlets to supplement. Everyone had more or less the same information or take on any story, and so it was harder to form an ideology by media consumption alone.
Prior to the television age, there was the penny press. Widely disseminated tabloid level leaflets, with blatant bias one way or the other. The information presented would be in conflict with, or in direct opposition to, the information presented in competing publications. Although they were, for their time, widely available, they were no where near as available as the same tabloid tier news is today. And they are many times their number now.
Tribalism has emerged as a consequence of media diversification. Turn on Fox, then flip to CNN. It’s impossible to see where the truth really is, and that’s on purpose. The truth doesn’t make money, engagement does. Eyes on screen, clicks online. If the truth contradicts your ideology, you might be less likely to listen to the talking heads explain how you are wrong on some issue after new information emerges. But Fox has a framework for their opinions, and so does CNN. People who disagree with them aren’t forced to tune in, they can go somewhere else, because there are thousands of alternatives that can be even more accessible than cable news, and they’ll tell you what you really wanted to hear.
When you see news posted here on the default subs, check the source. Right leaning people often disparage many of the sources frequently cited, and it’s easy to see why. Many of them present an ideological spin that is different from the ones right wingers are used to. Often the “facts” don’t line up between left and right sources, and that’s the biggest problem of them all.
Once the facts no longer agree in the internet age, we have trouble on our hands.
I won’t be providing evidence for the claim that the facts don’t agree because
