That’s ridiculous, of course they set trends. The media is part of the ruling class and is controlled by a handful of enormous corporations, if you think they’re not deliberately trying to set agendas and disseminate propaganda, you’re fooling yourself.

Look dude, those mouthbreathers were all expressing the same dopey, racist “points”. That shit didn’t come from their tiny little blinkered racist brains originally, these people are not capable of that kind of thought. That shit was coming from somewhere, likely right wing talk radio/racist email forwards or right…

And the media accommodates ISIS’ propaganda aims by prioritizing coverage of their attacks on the West vs. the much more prevalent violence they commit against Muslims. If anything, the media, if it had any integrity and self-awareness, should be reporting more on the violence ISIS carries out against other Muslims…

To answer the headline of this piece:

Not all white supremacists wear Klan hoods and are upfront about their ideology, dude. For fuck’s sake, that Jezebel article about Ehrlichmann admitting that the War on Drugs was a load of bullshit that Nixon and the Republicans ginned up to essentially make it illegal to be black and/or a Leftist was YESTERDAY. And…

Now who’s being naive, Kay?

Oh gee, I don’t know, because one of the building blocks of racism is considering people who don’t look like you to be unknowable “others” and thus somehow sub-human, maybe? Yes, why should we learn things about people who are unlike ourselves, we might actually understand one another instead of reducing each other to…

Yeah, but it’s a chicken and the egg question though, isn’t it? Is American media coverage racist and vapid because Americans are racist and vapid, or is it because American media made them that way over decades of indoctrination?

Just because you can conceive of instances where racism isn’t the driving motivation for a certain news story getting or not getting coverage (or can rationalize why other reasons were the deciding factor and not race) doesn’t mean that a.) the people who decide what gets coverage and what doesn’t get as much or any…

But let’s not ask ourselves WHY those “unsafe” areas are so much more prone to violence than the safe ones, that would bring up too many unpleasant questions.

Ask yourself this: Why does American foreign policy dictate whether a country “deserves” media coverage or not? Why, it’s almost like American corporate media is the lapdog of Western imperialist hegemony!

Yeah, Americans sure sympathize when bad shit happens to Japanese people:

You really don’t believe that white supremacy is that endemic in our culture? The culture where Donald Trump is stomping around the country as the Republican frontrunner for the fucking Presidency of the United States doing his best impression of an even dumber, more full of shit Mussolini? Seriously?

Despite the fact that ISIS targets Muslims and kills far more people in countries that are predominately Muslim than they manage to kill Christian Westerners.

Yeah, there are absolutely no English speaking people or Christians in Turkey, nope, thanks professor!

Much as I’d like to believe this will fail, I know it won’t

Honestly, I’m bummed that this movie did turn out to be the trainwreck all right-thinking people knew it would be, even if I was kind of rooting for it. I used to be a big DC fan and had little love for Marvel properties, because DC used to be the more fun company of the two (and certainly had a much more diverse…

Lol, what a terrible fucking take, jesus.

Most popular fiction can be boiled down to simple morality plays, that doesn’t mean you have to pretend that it’s fine when those simple morality plays are presented in a drab, stupid, boring and shitty way.

God, I hate them both so much. Hud is always 1000% times more annoying when he gets around Hawk.
