Serious question, and I get the hyperbole, but at what points is the media the enemy of the people

2018-08-03 13:57:06 UTC  

is it when they doxx people

2018-08-03 13:57:13 UTC  

is it when they stealh edit articles

2018-08-03 13:57:16 UTC  

they are the ministry of truth

2018-08-03 13:57:27 UTC  

is it when they are more op-ed vs actual journalism

2018-08-03 13:57:39 UTC  

is it when they are more activism than journalism

2018-08-03 13:58:00 UTC  

is it when they have backchannels to a single campaign and unilaterally agree to get that campaign elected

2018-08-03 13:58:29 UTC  

is it when they have a backchannel to decide the collective narrative

2018-08-03 13:58:30 UTC  

i'm pretty sure real investigative journalist have always been a rare breed that usually ended up being freelance and just trying to sell their story to papers, rather than work for them.

2018-08-03 13:58:49 UTC  

and that's usually local news

2018-08-03 13:58:52 UTC  

like the trope of the corrupt new paper is old as dirt

2018-08-03 13:59:40 UTC  

Lotheron, I'd say it's at whatever point they stop reporting on the news and start into activism

2018-08-03 14:09:06 UTC  

I know this has probably been said a million times before, but why is it that when I agree with a liberal on something (doesn't matter what it is, could literally be anything) that's posted on twitter, they immediately turn around and attack me as well?

2018-08-03 14:09:20 UTC  

It is absolutely confounding

2018-08-03 14:09:25 UTC  

purity test

2018-08-03 14:10:00 UTC  

They went straight for the throat with some great ad hominem attacks

2018-08-03 14:10:03 UTC  

it was fantastic

2018-08-03 14:10:10 UTC  

-_-

2018-08-03 14:10:37 UTC  

wait, if that one person's twitter, "your friend helen", is saying you need to include your "alt-right" source for calling Jeong racist, and its her own tweets that are the source, isn't this person calling Jeong alt-right (and therefore racist)?

2018-08-03 14:11:44 UTC  

A saying B required to prove C
A made B
Therefore A proves C

2018-08-03 14:12:02 UTC  

not sure if that's airtight, but yeah. sounds like it.

2018-08-03 14:14:03 UTC  

the flaw is the definition of racism, but before the stealth edits, it was lefty sources calling them racist.

2018-08-03 14:14:18 UTC  

and she apologized for them

2018-08-03 14:14:36 UTC  

which, as people pointed out, why apologize for something she didn't do

2018-08-03 14:15:04 UTC  

i mean, besides being asian and therefore needing to be sorry for oppressing everyone

2018-08-03 14:15:08 UTC  

even whites, ironically.

2018-08-03 14:17:00 UTC  

Apologizing for something is a pretty good admission of guilt in my book

2018-08-03 14:17:10 UTC  

again, not airtight, but pretty telling.

2018-08-03 14:17:17 UTC  

Apologizing for something is a pretty good admission of guilt in my book

2018-08-03 14:20:26 UTC  

Apologizing means you knew it was wrong yet you still did it

2018-08-03 14:21:03 UTC  

besides, what idiot organization would want someone that tainted on their staff

2018-08-03 14:21:53 UTC  

Lol facebook block the website to download free guns

2018-08-03 14:22:07 UTC  

yeah, because that will stop people

2018-08-03 14:22:57 UTC  

streisand effect

2018-08-03 14:23:02 UTC  

exactly

2018-08-03 14:23:48 UTC  

But facebook is labeling the link as either dangerous content or spam

2018-08-03 14:23:50 UTC  

Lol

2018-08-03 14:24:21 UTC  

You can prob share a real spam link and it would be ok

2018-08-03 14:31:16 UTC  

If there's any shred of truth to this...

2018-08-03 14:32:03 UTC  

Im constantly amazed how these companies tout themselves being a open platform yet they censor shit constantly , America gave them a place to thrive yet they disrespect the values that made america .... America
