Media/Journalism Cringe Megathread - Hot off the Presses

[Cherico]

After Tucker Carlson and his family had their home address outed by journalists last time a few years ago and then had their house vandalized and death threats sent to them, Tucker and his family moved away.

Now in the interests of journalism the New York Times is apparently planning on running a story about Tucker's new home? At least according to Tucker himself.

At this point Tucker has every reason to sue the New York Times for endangering his life and this might be a case where they might be legally culpulble.

He is also being sued for apparent sexual harassment/Rape. Him and two other people from FOX. Dont remember who was the rape and who was the harassment

False rape and sexual harrassment claims are now a standard tactic of the left, I'm not going to belive a god damned thing until he has had a tiral and found guilty and even then a part of my mind is going to be open to the possibility that their lying.

How many false accusations have we lived through in the last year alone?

Like I said until he's had his trial I'm not beliving a god damned thing.

Isn’t that the beauty of #MeToo?

You don’t actually bring it to court or actually bring in evidence and asking for evidence is being a “rape apologist”?

And that the courts or “the man” is obviously sexist and evil and the dude will win because of “the man” so even if the lady shows up in court with evidence they’d lose and stuff

MeToo# was a moral panic/witch hunt

Like all witch hunts it started off strong but then as the people behind it grasped for more and more power they started on their undoing. We are currently at the point in time where there will be a correction and MeToo# as a movement will be dealt with.

That’s the thing, authoritarianism disguised as rebellion, rebellion for rebellion’s sake

Emotions overpowering thorough reasoning

He should respond in kind and publish their data too. Along with information on when they are home, what children they have and where they go, who they associate with, the whole doxxing yard. If they try that bullshit, then they lose the right to be protected themselves.

Let's see how quickly they shut up when a mob is forming in front of their homes.

Believe the victim....unless the accused is on our side. We still need to vote for Joe Biden!

If you watch the video (assuming it's the same one I saw earlier today,) he actually says he could do the same to them, and how they wouldn't be calling it "journalism," then.

It makes the same point, without having to actually stoop to their level.

Snopes does a "fact check" on the fact that there is a convicted communist terrorist on the BLM founding board by asking "what counts as terrorism really?"

Did a 'Convicted Terrorist' Sit on the Board of a BLM Funding Body?

The past crimes of Susan Rosenberg reemerged in the summer of 2020, amid a new wave of protests over racial injustice and police brutality.

That wouldn't be anything remotely close to what the NYT publishing his home address would be.

Why?

Because the political right believes in treating humans with dignity and respect. There is a slim chance that a wing nut shows up and does something dangerous, but the most likely result, is that absolutely nothing would happen.

If Carlson's address is published, another leftist mob will show up, and things will get violent again.

Because it's the left that believe in lynchings and hate mobs, not the right. Just like when the KKK was active.


If they publish the address again, the local police should start billing the NYT for a full-time protective detail for the Carlsons.

Oh it was just some female... how droll and heteronormative... 😞

Disappointed in Tucker. He's usually such a maverick.

OH MY GOSH...

What's True
Susan Rosenberg has served as vice chair of the board of directors for Thousand Currents, an organization that provides fundraising and fiscal sponsorship for the Black Lives Matter Global Movement. She was an active member of revolutionary left-wing movements whose illegal activities included bombing U.S. government buildings and committing armed robberies.
What's Undetermined
In the absence of a single, universally-agreed definition of "terrorism," it is a matter of subjective determination as to whether the actions for which Rosenberg was convicted and imprisoned — possession of weapons and hundreds of pounds of explosives — should be described as acts of "domestic terrorism."

This is literally hilarious... In the absence of a single, universally agreed definition of "X" it is a matter of subjective determination as to whether the actions for which X person was convicted and imprisoned, shoulder be described as acts of "X."

Just fill in the blank with whatever heinous crime you want. If there's no universal agreement... 🤷‍♀️

And check out the reasoning at the end...

There is no single, universally-accepted definition of terrorism, so any use of that label requires a degree of explanation or justification. One basis upon which one might reasonably describe a person as a terrorist is if they have been convicted of terrorist offenses. That is not true of Rosenberg, who was convicted only of weapons and explosives possession and fraudulent document possession, after her arrest in New Jersey 1984. She pleaded not guilty to charges relating to the 1980s bombing campaign, and those charges against her were dropped, and she has denied any involvement in the 1979 Shakur prison break and 1981 Brink’s robbery, with those charges also having been dropped.

The United States Code defines “domestic terrorism” (as distinct from “international terrorism”) as follows:

“… Activities that— (A) involve acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State; (B) appear to be intended— (i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population; (ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping; and (C) occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States …”

However, that definition was only added in 1992, years after Rosenberg was convicted of weapons and explosives possession and charged for her alleged role in the 1983-1985 bombing campaign, and her alleged role in a series of armed robberies by left-wing revolutionaries.

In any event, despite the existence of a definition of domestic terrorism in federal law, a discrete criminal offense of domestic terrorism does not exist, and did not exist in the 1980s. As a result, even if Rosenberg’s activities perfectly met the definition of domestic terrorism currently set out in federal law, and even if that definition existed in the 1980s, she could not have been charged with, tried for and convicted of domestic terrorism as such.

Domestic Terrorism literally did not exist before 1992. Gotta love legal eagles. And the charges were dropped... because the Federal Prosecutor dropped it since she had already earned a 58 year sentence and he wasn't expecting Bill Clinton to pardon her barely a decade later...

Just planned domestic bombings... not ya know... terrorist bombings.

Fox News and hosts sued in sexual harassment suit

Ed Henry is accused of rape, and Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson and Howard Kurtz are alleged to have committed sexual harassment.

Here yall go

Having read the lawsuit, she saved the receipts from Henry, so he's going to be nailed to the wall.

The suit against Fox however doesn't have a chance in hell unless they hit a home run with discovery and find a smoking gun.

Well at least it says at the end “well you can conclude due to the bombings and shit it actually was domestic terrorism”.

So kudos to Snopes for having a whole article to discover that the sun does indeed rise in the East.

 

[Culsu]

That's the lady accusing Carlson. And in his case it's strictly "she said" without any real evidence. While there may be fire here with all the smoke around the Henry situation, this whole shebang looks a lot like a broad swipe against Fox rather than anything of substance. Even under the most strict definitions of the law half the stuff mentioned in the article isn't even relevant.
