Thanks “moderates”...

We are past the point where that kind of journalism matters. That happens in the US, Fox News is talking about the bully liberal press the next 6 months, Trump is amping up his war on the press, and millions of conservatives are eating it up.

Im 100% talking about posters like Stig. If you think that particular individual argues in good faith idk what to tell you.

You make a lot of assumptions. At least this time you didnt accuse me of being a want to be rapist. Also lol accusing me of posting a lot.

Thank you for expressing what i was thinking about a million times more eloquently than i could.

You just mentioning him triggered someone. :)

Again, what is the end game here tho? Who is going to change their mind because they were pressed into saying something stupid?

Ah, i see you are also a member of the “This Country Is Irredeemably Stupid” club. Im surprised i havent seen you at the meeting.

And even if you catch him saying something dumb, what difference will it make? We all get to laugh and meme about it and millions of Republicans will still support him.

Im all for that, but then CNN and every non-Fox News 24 hour media outlet dies because i dont even know what their purpose is outside of having these dumb interviews.

It is pretty obvious that conservative circles end up flooding the comments section of certain writers or blogs. I think the video game blog in the GMG get overrun by angry Reddit/4Chan merds from time to time, but that may have been isolated to the gamergate days. Thise were some interesting x-posts, tho.

I can understand that people are not going to agree with everything posted on a given blog. That has nothing to do with the point i was making which is that there are a lot of ungrayed accounts on this site that post anti-leftist shit and use conservative arguing tactics and talking points to back it up. These…

No, what is weird is people obsessively reading and commenting on a semi-popular leftist blog while not holding leftist views.

Then Fox News, every GOP politician, and every conservative outlet just says that the liberal media hates conservatives, they just want safe spaces, the anchor is disrespectful, etc...

I understand that people are dumb. I just dont understand how they get to their dumb decisions. Like how do you listen to this guy or Trump or Moore talk for any more than 30 seconds and think “yeah, this guy seems like a good guy”.

I honestly dont get that impression that they hate the DNC more than the right, but im pretty critical of the DNC, so we can just agree to disagree there i guess...

Re: supermarket line rando...Peggy Noonan’s Dominican “friend” who cuts her deli meat.

I swear there are some posters here who post all the time yet dont seem to agree with half the articles. They get lots of stars on posts making fun of Trump, but then theyll be pro gun, anti universal Healthcare, unsympathetic toward the issues of women/PoC, etc. Why the fuck are they reading Splinter dot com and…

Even if you take the time to refute them they will just ignore it and change the topic to more bullshit that you have to refute. Its not a debate in any sense because one side has no intention on debating. Id say its like arguing with a child, but the child might actually learn something.

This is what gets me when i see that “the media” should be tougher. How is this woman supposed to get answers out of this douchenozzle? Hes going to talk over her, refuse to answer her questions, and any time she is confrontational or pressing she’ll be labeled as “not being respectful”(translation into Republicanese:…
