    Media/Journalism Cringe Megathread - Hot off the Presses

    Quote comes from about ~4:20 in the video. Dude IS wrong about vaccines in general. Criticism of the Covid ones, and agencies (see second video), is quite cogent though, and the exact wrong response to vaccine-skepticism is trying to shutdown and quiet speech critical of it. Because, like how...

    It's journalism probably-clickbait ragebait time, with your eloquent host prinCZess! Title has since been changed to be less silly ("Reading is precious – which is why I’ve been giving away my books" ). But it's sure revelatory. Because reading is smug and condescending and knowledge-flaunting...

    It's pretty clearly not the same emblem. Dirlewanger emblem is a pair of the stick handgrenades the krauts used, the one in the cartoon is crossed...maces or command batons. Which just so happen to be the thing Ukraine uses to denote generals in their military. And the cursory wiki-rummaging...

    Relevant to both folks here (and the thread more directly) Hillary was the secstate that did the 'reset button' stunt with Lavrov. A new foreign policy with Russia that didn't look backwards ('80s called and want their foreign policy back') was pursued first when it seemed like the thing that...

    Some of it is historical as much as racial.

    Slogan predated Bandera, but 'flexing' social media flags in support whilst Russia flexes armed forces is...Well, it's a very demonstrative example of current affairs. ... Ohhh, it's ironic. I see it now? I guess? Seen it entirely seriously so much I can't help it.

    It may be a close race with Hispanics. Or, I guess, that peculiar subcategory of 'white Hispanics' the thinkpiece authors with big-brains like to reference.

    I guess I can kind of see what they're going for in the absurdist Orwell-allegory? 'Protesting is fascism' comes pretty close to 'war is peace', 'freedom is slavery', and 'ignorance is strength' in the whole 'deliberate contradictions made equivalent to demonstrate the ridiculousness of the...

    That's the bullshit used to sell it, yes. Meanwhile, the caribou concerned congressmen drone about to justify opposition to it use pipeline to scrape velvet off their antlers. Drilling in ANWR was killed, multiple times, for the same reason the Keyston pipeline was killed--or nuclear energy...

    I mean...They brought back the Zoom masturbating guy. It would not surprise me if they brought back Cuomo. Though that might be less likely just because of the rumbling bits of CNN reorganizing its whole shebang? I know I've heard that as a rumor but haven't been paying enough attention here or...

    What I find amusing here is that the author is penning this article--probably from the Northern-Virginia or DC metropolitan area--in the backdrop of Governor 'Coonman' Northam. But obviously voting for those kinds of white people who know what's best for minorities is clearly the non-racist option.

    You added a porn-censor to it. That just makes me want to see the full flag MORE. Also, if we're going to redesign the flag, we should do so with an eye towards tradition older than America... No, wait, sorry, that was the humorous one, to be slightly more serious:

    Kind've sad, honestly. Greg Gutfeld used to have a pretty entertaining show with 'Red Eye' years ago. Alongside Craig Ferguson's late show, it was some pretty funny (and easily-available) entertainment I watched on YT more times than I care to count. I've seen some of Gutfeld's new show...

    Has he? Not being snarky there--legitimately unsure, and if so I'd assume they're domestic Russian journalists that have a platform or position inside Russia from which they'd threaten him. Could well be wrong on that though.

    In this case, it's kind of more just...sad because Putin won't do anything to her and she knows it by the question itself? She doesn't threaten his domestic power or position in Russia, or know anyone who does. Nor would getting to her with polonium-tea or such be impressive or something to...
