The insane thing is that offensive humor really is considered to be on the same level as rape and murder at this point.

The weird thing is the presumption that people *should* trust the media. The suggestion that people don’t trust them because they’ve been doing a shitty job doesn’t seem to be something they’re willing to entertain.

Clearly if everyone thinks you’re horribly biased and terrible at your job, the solution is to pay a lot of money for Tom Hanks to tell them that they’re wrong.

Why would they want to draw attention away from the abortion bill? The most widely-circulated media related to Virginia politics before the photo was the video of Kathy Tran saying that her bill would permit abortion for a woman who was *in labor*.

The problem with ignoring the accusation that she was lying is that she actually was lying. She thought this DNA stunt would somehow resolve the issue, which I guess it’s completely obfuscated the real problem (her decades of falsely claiming to be Cherokee).

She had a family story about having some Native ancestry and, apparently on that basis, publicly identified herself as Cherokee for years. It was always a lie, and she has still not apologized for it.

The real issue is that she lied for decades about being Cherokee so that she could benefit from affirmative action. This is what Trump and others hammered her over. The test and the video were just her staggeringly bad response to that.

So his numerous girlfriends and the women he lured into his car all had defective radar or what?

Do you really want to know the answer?

She doesn’t have a PhD in economics, or anything else. She has a JD from Rutgers. Harvard hired her because she lied about being Cherokee.

Duke Lacrosse, but instead of rape it’s smirking.

White privilege is getting death threats because you smirked at a guy who confronted you and beat a drum in your face.

Designer: What is your vision for this office space?

The important thing to remember is that Omar is a black, Muslim, female Democrat and so could not be further beyond reproach no matter what nonsense she says.

Do your part to stamp out wrongthink!

Innocuous, surely. It’s not like they were blaming Obama, which would be racist and the story would be about the whining racists who didn’t get to spend $1600 to memorialize their racist relative.

No, it’s mostly through publishing legal notices. In some areas only one paper meets the statutory requirements so they have a little monopoly.

Well, the good news is that this will soften the blow when they tell them that the kitchen staff isn’t coming in anymore either.

I mean, poverty definitions are relative. A family of four making $25K a year is in poverty in America, but their income and standard of living are much higher than the average family in most of the world.

Sorry, but judging the cultural practices of third world countries and restricting immigration are not cool and good things to support.
