War Room Lounge v78: Figure someone will make a thread eventually.

[Anung Un Rama]

Steady, strong reporting will hurt confidence with the people who are already most distrusting. This is the problem.

I think that is just another symptom and overall sick system. If the media was consistently honest Trump wouldn't have had a thread to pull on.

I still like Warren but she’s surprisingly bad at this campaigning thing, imo.

Yeah, I get the impression she would yell at me for not doing my homework 23 years ago.

And to be clear, I really don’t give a shit. I respect her intelligence and ability to communicate. But the sad fact is presidential races are at least some part popularity contests. And she knows it and that’s why everyone has to know she drinks beer.

I think you're both too optimistic and too pessimistic. The better a job the media does reporting on Trump, the more it looks to his fans like they're just out to get him. It's not the occasional, inevitable mistakes that drive the "liberal media" nuttery.

Yeah, this is bullshit.

Accuracy/truthfulness has never stopped his criticisms and does not govern their reception.

To court the millenial vote she has to make it known that she eats butt.

<Lmaoo>

Come on, man, you are lending undeserved credence to the most obviously baseless narrative in American political life. The media's reporting and framing of issues was already fundamentally right-leaning because of existing distributions of political power and voice, the nature of corporate media, and a whole host of other issues related to power, but Trump and his followers' problems were that they weren't biased enough in their favor. They were always going to look for some disingenuous argument about bias to feed their persecution complex, and they've shown there is no floor on their intellectual dishonesty. They will outright deny facts and call them lies.

If the media were truly objective and unbiased - to the extent that is practicable - Trump would have had ever the more footing.

On this note, just like 10 minutes ago, I saw a thread where people were saying it was a lie that Trump mocked a disabled reporter. Ultimate, "who are you gonna trust: me or your lying eyes?" moment.

I love all living things in this life.

But holy hell do I hate some people

Isn't he making the exact same argument liberals make about Facebook/twitter?

 

[ObamaPhoneLady]

lol

also, go krill yourself.

Waah waah mods help! He made fun of my dead krill.

Is it possible to revoke an Emmy?

 

[ObamaPhoneLady]

Context appears to be weighed in that decision, if those are indeed the rules. I just told @JudoThrowFiasco to FO/KY the other day because the Leafs were playing the Habs.

The mods were all

What was the context when Jack said it?

I honestly don't know. Can someone give us a PBP?

No.

If he said, “kick them out of the stadium” that would be the same argument and I’d be fine with them getting tossed.

He said “arrest them for treason” which is moronic and violates their first amendment rights.

 

[Fawlty]

Waah waah mods help! He made fun of my dead krill.

You can't Grinch your way out of how funny and adorable my post was. Your heart grew two sizes that post. Thawed a bit as well.

 

[ObamaPhoneLady]

He said that in his first tweet, I was referring to his second tweet.

That's what that means!? I thought you were hitting on me by saying: Fully Open / (bring the) KY

Please God, no. JVS versus Cubo on Warren's 30 year old employment history is like watching Nick Diaz spar with Nate Diaz. Fun at first, but nobody every quits. The fucking mats are cleaned and the lights are shut off and they're still taunting and slapping and giving everyone else teh staph infection.

LOL

That perfect analogy, tho.
