“The MSM spent way too much time on the death and funeral of George HW Bush!

“Guess we’d better post a minimum of three stories a day about how people are talking too much about this stuff, and then reference it tangentially even after it’s over!  That’ll make our point!”

So is the purpose and essence of journalism not to give the public a full and accurate understanding of reality in your mind, but rather to advance a specific agenda?

The Academy was fine with Jimmy Kimmel dressing in blackface. They never asked him to apologize.

I wanted to pound her head into the cement. Reminds me of the incident at a Starbucks- me and 2 friends were talking about the transgender bathrooms in schools now- a white redheaded she/he decided to let us know “she/he” was there. I told “it” that I was offended by her white supremacist entitlement to feel the need…

More along the lines of your friends start helping the bully kick the shit out of you, then those same friends start whining the next day that no one at school is willing to stand up to the bully.

I think it’s more like you fight back and the entire school decides you’re the real problem because of some bullshit like making a fist being appropriation of a Black Panther symbol.

because the reviewer was too busy going on political rants to actually recap the show

“Now, anyone who pays attention is acutely aware of what’s going on, and how utterly unfettered modern capitalism has gotten.”

Not really. I know you want to falsely sell the point that they went after Starbucks and Amazon and then absolutely nothing in between because.... narratives? They’ve gone after big box retailers, video game manufacturers, and many others. Hell, the entire SoDoSoPa arc was blatantly about this.

Battlefield V’s campaign tries to argue that WWII had very fine people on both sides

This is a MUCH more important story than celebrity tweeting. Trump is perfectly fine with blowing up our national debt, and fucking up our economy as much as he wants to— because he won’t have to deal with the fallout, he’ll let someone else clean up his mess. (As Republicans always do.)

“The reason the protesters have chosen to disrupt the lives of regular Hooverites”

He is being honored for his noblesse oblige. He probably is the example in Merriam Webster Dictionary. Ever President (just like every person) does good things and bad things. But what made H.W. stand out was there was never an impression that he was running for political office for personal glory or gain, but to try…

Sorry, but spammers are trolls provide clicks and ad revenue, and Sphincter is desperate for clicks.

do not speak about a candidate’s problems before votes are cast. do not speak about them afterwards. exist in a blessed haze, totally free of past and future. do not think. do not speak. shut your eyes, shut your ears, and accept what you are given. make no engagement with the political process. under absolutely no…

It’s like he’s the Slovenian immigrant.

I think the horrible part about America today is that an American blogger can call one phenomenal man whose life was a testament to service and leadership “awful” and disrespect another whose life is far less inspiring but who has led with gusto the same thing. Now that is truly awful.

Well.....it was historically accurate.

Just last night I was thinking, as I read various semi-insane reaction pieces to Three Billboards Outside of Ebbing, Missouri, that the need for simplification fantasies is starting to destroy people’s ability to process good stories. There is a growing contingent of the viewing audience that shows up and expects to…
