forcing them not to doesnt make anyone want to
be ncie
in a way.. stopping others from speaking is mean
The trouble is, is that in today's media environment it's usually not a two way street. The reason Samantha Bee is news is because there was pushback for once. Man bites dog.
what did she say anyway... also who is she 😛
idk what she said
but shes some shitty tv show host
Mean comments have been flowing towards figures on the right for years and it's so normal and expected that it's ignored.
mean comments towards the right are fine
mean comments towards the left are violent and hateful
ty double standards
hmm I dont recognise her
nor should you
she's more or less a nobody
I don't really give a fuck about mean comments. If people want to publicly demonstrate that they're classless slime go right ahead. And TV is dead to me anyway so I don't give a damn about shitty left wing comedians or shitty right wing comedians. Cancel the lot as far as I care.
The double standard is demonstrative of a power imbalance though, and that's the troublesome part.
I don't want one viewpoint to have institutional power over another because that's dangerous to society. We need each other. Right now the left has near complete dominance over all media.
For fuck's sake Anita Sarkessian is a guest of honor at Gencon They're coming after my warhams.
We can talk about the culture war as much as we want but it's more of a culture insurgency.
It's asymmetrical warfare.
although interesting that she went through all those words he used to describe trump... and missed out one of them from the very clip they showed... "baboon"
What has Trump said that is racist?
He has said a lot of racist stuff with the words they have put in his mouth
Is this newscaster referring to the MS13 'animals' comment?
they have been calling him racist since forever
New York's Attourney General is openly calling for the abolishment of double jeopardy protections.
Nothing overrides presidential pardon. It's incredibly powerful.
NY can pass laws all they want, and the presidential pardon still works.
heh... "loophole"
how about that 1st amendment loophole.. how do get we get rid of that next 😛
The only thing that cannot be pardoned is impeachment.
damn, people getting caught on this "lack of evidence loophole" how do get rid of that thing 😛
It's explicitly stated in the constitution.
How is it that, in his capacity as a commentator on a sports network, Keith Olbermann was in a position to talk about a Trump policy, let alone call him a mindless evil baboon?
Isn't he supposed to be talking about sports if he's on ESPN?
Nevermind, the subtitle is kinda misleading
The video is from GQ. Don't know why they mention ESPN.
I perceive this CNN piece as duplicitous. Liberals cooperating to get support for being over-the-top offensive, and also by taking the moral high ground against offensive behavior. Preemptively laying their moral defense against any retaliation in kind by conservative figures.
'You mean the CONSTITUTIONALLY protected right in the 5th Amendment "loophole?"'
some of these comments to the AG are pretty great
