Media/Journalism Cringe Megathread - Hot off the Presses

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...

Spoiler

No, wait, sorry, that was the humorous one, to be slightly more serious:

Spoiler

Rome-aboo Founding Fathers would be all over the Roman iconography appearing in the flag.

I would follow that last flag into battle

 

[PsihoKekec]

Dovahatty would approve.

 

[bintananth]

Is that just a thinly disguised politcal compass meme?

It's the Windows logo with the green and yellow swapped and two white bars added.

 

[Jaenera Targaryen]

I would follow that last flag into battle

Likewise; even better if it's flown Roman style, i.e. a vexillum. Add in the Imperial Republican Eagle, plus replace Hindu-Arabic numbers with Roman numerals.

The Bald Eagle and for sure

CNN fires Rick Sanchez for saying that American Jews are not an oppressed minority

I guess he got reminded the hard way that his minority status is way too low on the victimhood pyramid to badmouth the sacred cows of the liberal elite.

Geee, I wonder why that statement is so controversical...

The long standing journalistic integrity of the BBC here.... Dying of Covid... with Covid... or having tested positive for Covid in the past month...

Has anyone seen this? I think the media has finally gone insane if they weren't already.

Insane in that they're taking another yet another one of these "the end of bothsiderism" articles and hyping it up as a bold new take and not the same stupid points the last half dozen such op-eds made, that they're acting like this hasn't been what they've been openly doing for the 5 years (and not so openly doing for like 30 years before that), or that they think any of this isn't obvious to anyone watching?

so now their official propagandists rather then journalists not surprised.

"With Newt that began changing..."

As if they media wasn't biased prior to Newt somehow... HAH! Just means that the Left wasn't in charge of everything anymore, and they actually had to deal with different views. IDIOTS!

 

[Duke Nukem]

Lefties are seething

 

[Rocinante]

Lefties are seething

If it manages to not get blocked by Google and Apple it'll be HUGE.

People are starved for this. They will pay for it. I will pay for it.

This is more than just social media. It's going to have news and a YouTube competitor.

It'll be yuuuuge.

Yeah, people being able to speak freely is a threat to democracy. I can't roll my eyes any harder, I'm running a turbine at this point.

 

[The Whispering Monk]

I wonder how many lawyers Trump will have standing by for the moment that Apple and Google decide to drop if from their stores...

 

[Bacle]

I applaud Trump doing this, and the merger actually makes his media group a lot more potent than expected.

However, I am also not going to be jumping onto the new site just because Trump set it up. I learned the hard way during the last election that Trump's poor skills at picking the right people for a job often ends up with lots of grifters following in his wake.

Besides, I do not need another social media account, when I'm actually thinking about deactivating a few I have already.

Plus every jackass with a computer is going to do their best to break in and cause havoc.

More excellent reportage from the esteemed lifestyle journalists at Buzzfeed.



Check out them responses though... Lotta toddler energy there.

'Quick, we need clicks but we've already made horoscopes and ranking-lists of every conceivable piece of bullshit in existence!'

'It's okay...I've got just the thing.'

Having a journo license doesn't allow you airline privileges to barge into the cockpit to interview the pilot lass.

 

[f1onagher]

Having a journo license doesn't allow you airline privileges to barge into the cockpit to interview the pilot lass.

Credit where credit is due she contextualizes her near expulsion as her fault and admits that anger at Biden has moved beyond just Trump supporters. Its not much, but I want to recognize when journos at least attempt to do their job honestly.
