Media/Journalism Cringe Megathread - Hot off the Presses

Ah. So you're just flat-out detached from reality. I won't bother then.

(To be fair to you, things like CIA coups and cold war invasions did happen, but it's clear that your understanding of why is farcical at best.)

It's always awkward when you ask specific questions and then the response is like fifteen random points that are only tangentially related to the original discussion. In the actual main Ukraine thread, we had a vibrant (albeit brief) discussion on the USS Maine after all for some reason.

REMEMBER THE MAINE!

No you are the one detached from reality by pretending your country isn't the parasitic presence it is and that has still some good in it. Saving Ukraine because muh democracy

Newsflash.

The last good thing the US did was defeating the Nazis.

That's ridiculous, no one is cheering for WW3.
Russia is just playing brinkmanship hard (after all its not like their rulers have to worry about legions of shitlibs shitting their pants over it and electing some boring, demented old man instead to be "back to boring normal"). So its either respond in kind, or let Russia know that they can do whatever they want and there will be no consequences for it except for maybe a stern letter to the UN. Considering the state of western politics now, its not surprising that Putin would be hoping that the west will choose the second option now. - if not now, when?

A Washington Post editorial by Karen Attiah was extremely critical of Andrew Yangs (long retracted) defense of Joe Rogan by stating he was friends with many Black people and not a racist.

Karen (snigger) stated:

With logic this powerful, it's amazing no one has ever heard of this magnificent thinker before.

It's nice that the Washington Post elevated folks like Karen Attiah to pen amazing columns like this for their organization BUT you know who else elevated women to high positions in their organization?

Yeah. Think about it.

WaPo writer blasts Andrew Yang for defending Rogan: 'Slave masters' interacted with Black people too

A Washington Post columnist got dramatic while attacking former Democratic president candidate Andrew Yang for defending Joe Rogan.

Tell me more about how a dead movement with several big names that became contrarian scum who shilled for the dumbest elite schemes are really the ones behind your problems.

They don't quite realize just how badly they fucked up yet.

And its going to get a whole lot fucking worse before it gets better.

They changed the headline on that in less than two hours. Looks like someone with actual literary experience flagged the editors down.

It's called the "The Parental Rights in Education" bill in Florida but for some mysterious reason, neutral media outlets have been referring to it as something else...

It's even being admitted in some of the articles using the biased headline that it's a term that's adopted by critics.

The Parental Rights in Education bill, commonly referred to the "Don't Say Gay" bill by its critics,

Yet the headlines pictured above aren't op-eds, they are news articles.

The Bill is 4 pages long. It only states that teachers can't talk to students about sex...any kind of sex.

Believe it applies this rule up to grade 5.

 

[Sobek]

Yeah, and this is a "threat to the LGBT community"

REALLY makes you think, doesn't it?

Is it me or the LGBT is more and more about the last letter, with the P and D for deviants omitted?

a lot of LGBs would like to drop the TS, but are too afraid to ever speak out about it. They don't want kicked out of their own community.

This is what I've gathered from a good portion of LGBs that I know.
