Tom Nichols! 😂

In all serious, he seems to be yet another respected pundit that now spends too much time addicted to messing around on twitter and trying to be funnier than he really is.

Yeah there were a lot of journalists that seemed to be whining about the MyPillow guy being a Trump supporter and daring to help in the crisis and get some publicity for it.



I guess Seperation of Church and State is another thing the Liberals are worrying about during the Pandemic.



If we're going to engage in non-sequiters, your former Boss sexually assaulted your fellow coworkers when you shilled for Al Jazeera America. I guess the job of "business" journalists is to show contempt for American businessmen actually contributing to combating the pandemic.

And most damning of all...

In a phone call to discuss the international health crisis last week, Xi stressed to Trump how decisive, strong, and successful he feels his U.S. counterpart’s public-health and economic responses have been, two U.S. officials with knowledge of the matter said.
An entire Daily Bestiality article constructed around "anonymous sources", and you'd think they'd be happy that such a "racist" way of referring to the virus is being used less by anyway. I even recall an article on another site by Max Bluementhal saying that cold relations between the US and China would cost lives. So which is it?

This shit pisses me off hard. Here we've got a damn drug addict who pulled himself out of it. Founded and worked a successful business providing god jobs to folks. Then when the chips we're down volunteered to help everyone. With his own money and resources. The attacks against him are digustsing.

This will continue to happen until people get sick of it.

Once the preference Cascade happens a whole lot of assholes will get to experience first hand what they did to others.

So since this is for all media goofs, I'm going to add something from a Right Wing source to the thread.
Vdare is not a site a read regularly, but one blog entry I read was particularly ill-thought out.
The article revolved around Jeff Session's odds at winning the primary for Doug Jones' senate seat in Alabama. Now I wasn't paying attention to the news as much back in 2016 to 2018, it was all noise to me. But I do know that people were disappointed that Sessions recused himself from the Mueller circlejerk. Now I'm also seeing people saying that he was apathetic towards things like Sanctuary cities, spent more time cracking down on Marijuana, things like that. But I'll set those points aside for later. The kicker for this guy's blog was the inclusion of a simply incredible tweet by Ann Coulter:
Now let me try and break down everything wrong with that tweet, and how it reflected poorly on the site itself. I don't really follow Ann Coulter because it seems like she, like many Boomer and Gen X pundits, is now a hopeless Twitter addict, but that take was particularly silly.
Firstly, an NRA endorsement really doesn't have the kick that it might've once had. Unless if the past year of internal corruption horror stories that keep coming up were all fake news.
Secondly, they've made more than a few errors, like accepting a Bump Stock Ban, letting themselves be accused of leaving Black gun owners out to dry, and they just failed badly at organizing to get out the vote in Virginia.
Thirdly, if that wasn't enough evidence, no way in hell are they the smartest organization in America, especially not about immigration. There's not many articles mentioning it in the post-2016 election period, and they don't seem to just up and say "mass immigration will lead to more guaranteed Democrat voters".
But there is a gun rights group that won't compromise. In fact, one of their goals includes repealing the National Firearms act, which the NRA supported. They also don't beat around the bush about the risks of amnesty bills and include immigration votes on politician ratings. Yes, it's the Gun Owners of America.
And yet, there are six times as many search results for "NRA" as there are "gun owners of america" on Vdare.com. The most recent article mentioning the GOA was from late-2015! I'd expect to see such an uncompromising group mentioned more often than the floundering NRA. Vdare right now gets more traffic than the Dispatch, which was founded by well-known people like Jonah Goldberg and David French, who don't have to worry about being constantly labeled racists. Surely they'd help get the message out. Also a bad move by Anne too. You're giving more attention to the weaker, scandalous group as though they know what really matters when they don't. People think she's shitlord controlled opposition for a reason.
So yeah, no more Vdare.com anymore for now. Whether or not Sessions win the primary, I don't really have a preference because I'm not in Alabama, but it sure looks like his stellar record on guns and immigration seemed to count for little when he was AG.

Yeah, the NRA is pretty crappy at gun rights. My personal belief is that it comes from them having a lot of law enforcement as members. And while law enforcement might be in favor of theoretical 2nd amendment, in practice, they want arrests to lead to convictions. And gun advocacy thru legal means puts you on the opposite side to law enforcement. So they won't make a stink when a black gun owner responds to a shooting and gets shot by cops, for just one example.

It's finally over. SU is finally over. The decade long process of healing can begin.

To be fair to Steven Universe it was far less preachy then most SJW stuff, it also showed fathers in a positive light and showed conservatives as human beings. The creators put more effort into making the show better then trying to shove their political beliefs down every ones throuts. That's worthy of some respect.

The fandom can be total shit though.

The positive image of the father was a fat, delirious hobo who let lesbians dominate him and allowed his son to be an insufferable soft-boy who acted like he was five well into his teens. Greg universe is no man, because no man would be shamed and bullied away from their own goddam child for over a decade by autistic robots that dont respect his rights in the slightest.

They have Ronaldo parrot pseudoconservative diatribes and he's portrayed as a whiny, desperate hypocrite literally seconds from beating the nearest child to death, twice.

They portray Steven's uncle as an ignorant fuddy duddy who has to endlessly, constantly surrender and sacrifice his own rights to the whims of the perfect lesbian angels abusing him without the slightest sympathy. He's not even allowed to disengage with dignity, he has to grovel and suck up to be allowed to leave.



oh, yeah, this show portrays fathers, men, and conservatives in as "kind" a light as an SJW is capable of, it shows you exactly what your place is in their perfect world. "See, men dont HAVE to be evil, which is their natural inclination, they can be completely neutered and weakened into disgusting balls of dough that endlessly suck cock, then they can be good!"

And in today's episode of "I'm not too sure this headline is going to have the intended effect" we have the Washington Post introducing Mitch McConnell as and I quote here: "Sitting on a throne of skulls, Mitch McConnell confirms his 8,999th judge". Yes, in an attempt to make McConnell look bad they have instead made him look metal as fuck.

Archive link to the article.

First he was Cocaine Mitch, then he was the grim reaper and now he's sitting on a skull throne. It's like his opposition is determined to make him sound cooler.

When you demonize the masculine, you try to make cool things sound bad. But they still remain cool.

This is what happens when you let Reddit write your news. We are witnessing the real-time collapse and self-debasement of Media titans, exemplified by the willingness to approve free form fantasy novellas such as this.
(EDIT):
Really, read through that article again and check out the other works by that writer afterwards. It's some of the most mediocre work I've ever published in a major news site. I've read Gateway Pundit articles that were more mentally sound. Blogspot rants! Deviantart Journal entries! And the the thing to keep in mind every time you read an article like that one: that's what the writer gets paid for.
