Be careful not to call them Nazis, though, or else they might become Nazis.
Maybe heâs a lifetime member of the KISS ARMY.
Wasnât the Kessler interview the final part of a week long series on Câville 2017? I donât know how youâd tell that story w/o including the organizer. I listened to the interview going to work that morning & thought he sounded like an idiot without any help from Noel. There were a couple points where she needed to be more forceful, but hearing their media critic this morning I believe they edited for time/content some of the points she was most forceful.
This pretty much sums it up. It was a visceral reaction to NPRâs condescending, obtuse, middle finger answer to valid criticism for their poor decisions. Theyâre not alone in doing this, of course, and this is certainly not the worst example of bothsidesism, hyperdefensiveness and doubling down that weâve seen. (NYT probably wins that prize.)
But my irritation at the journosplaining, if youâll pardon the word, and my moral objections are secondary to the more pragmatic and practical concerns that HumanTon summed up so well. NPR should not be providing a platform to Nazis and white supremacists. I canât say, sadly, that I was shocked when they did so, but I am very disappointed that they are doubling down in this way after being given a chance to make things right again.
Report how horrible they are and what they did. Then leave it. Donât interview them - period. The media frenzy is what they want. Same for all the stupid news shows including something like âthe Viewâ. Have normal people, and know that mainstream, decency, and centrism is current day Democrats. If hard right Republicans donât like it, tough. Theyâve had their Fox Fake News for years. they can stay with it.
This is the sort of thing that can only happen with a Trump; either because he wants it to happen because heâs a sympathizer, or because heâs an incompetent who has surrounded himself with incompetents so that there is no one able to avoid it.
Ah, helpful, thanks!
Did anyone really think that Trump tweeted that pic with the circled bits? I assume so, if Snopes had to fact check it but wow.
This is a thing that happened today.
Itâs not especially important, given everything thatâs going on, but I am putting here for posterity. This way weâll have an answer years from now, when we look back and ask, âWait - did that actually occur? Or was it just something I dreamed that time I ate the expired shrimp and then had ice cream?â
Edit: Bah, Telefrog already beat me to it in another thread. But no matter, future me will probably look here because of the swastikasâŚ
Like I wrote in that post, I have no idea where to post things now. It all blends together in Trumpland.
I mean, it shouldnât be, but Roger still has the presidentâs ear as far as I can tell.
Hell, that they were ever willingly in the same room says a lot considering how batshit insane and racist Stone is.
Stone can just say itâs irreverent humor, libtards need to lighten up, and anyway Sarah Jeong
She is the real villain, and white people are under attack.
Wonât somebody think about Christmas??
My wife does. All the time. Sheâs already planning it. She LOVES Christmas. Itâs maddening.
I totally agree. It should have been zero-star.

If only youâd swapped Sarah Joeng for âI didnât see the swastikas!â, youâd have hit the jackpot.

Dear lord. This is a shining example of their master race huh, living at home and the other might have to sell or rent his boat to make ends meet. Let me guess, theyâd be millionaires if it wasnât for women and minorities taking theirs.
