Re: Media Bias
 

[quote=mooby;1176963]Way to turn a blind eye, I made the comparison clear. People in position of power abuse it across all industries and everybody turns a blind eye because they fear the repercussions. Yes, they are hypocrites. I've already conceded that. What about Roger Ailes? Bill O'Reilly? Your president? All of them have multiple sexual harassment accusations, and your president is even on video talking about how his power allows him the opportunity to grab women by the pussy. Yet I guess they get a free pass because of all the good they do for the country.

Also, quick question Chico. Scenario here: [B]You are trying to jumpstart a career in an unforgiving field where it's already hard to break in. A major player in the field takes you under his wing, gives you a massive opportunity. You say yes, of course you would. Next thing you know you either hear rumors of, or are subjected to, extreme harassment bordering on assault. What do you do[/B]?[/quote]

"his" wing gonna get beat with a baseball bat if lucky. "her" wing, might have my kids...Dave Chappell Oprah episode style.

So you're willing to destroy whatever sliver of hope you have for a career in a hard-to-get field and go to jail for assault on top of it? Wow, you're in the 1% on that one.

[quote=CRedskinsRule;1176946]Can I also add -
This issue about Trump's call to the fallen soldier's family is total BS. When I served in the 90's it was a point of pride that we served our country not because we were drafted or forced but because we volunteered. I can't think of one of the soldiers in any of the units I served in that would have taken offense to that fact being expressed in a condolence call.

I also think it shows the extreme left's misunderstanding of core US values. To the representative she took it as a slight (however Trump phrased it) or an in your face comment, when in reality the statement - we soldiers know what we signed up for - is [U]always[/U](when commanders in the field say it, when said to one another, etc) intended to reflect the greatest lengths of sacrifice one has gone and offered to our country.[/quote]
As always Thank you for your service ,but defending trump is BS .The fact that a president said that to a grieving widow or mother is asinine ,simple as that.

[quote=CRedskinsRule;1176945]The reports about Russia and russian trolls that I have seen mostly have been Russia instigating liberals and trying to get them riled up.

Praising the bravery of a person's loved one (which is what the reference to him knowing what he signed up for ALWAYS is implying when spoken of the volunteer military) is not asinine in any way.

The pavlovian response by the far left (and Republican swamp dwellers) to anything Trump certainly is asinine though.

IIRC she was in the limo with them because she had known their son personally since he was a kid. So yeah, I understand the whole "respect their privacy" argument, but at the same time if the family didn't care if she listened why should we?

S/N I'm far more concerned about things that have serious repercussions on us than Trump's attempt to console gold star families. If people haven't figured out by now that he's not exactly a master wordsmith idk what to tell them.

That said it is a fact that all the US attorneys serve as part of the executive branch, and are nominated by the president. And approved by the Senate. I am a bit shocked to learn that the president or Attorney General dont as a matter of course interview those who are nominated for these positions, given that there are only about 90 in the whole country and serve a unique and important role in our government.

You're right, it is a fact. However, you would think the Justice Dept. would handle the hiring of federal attorneys, seeing as how they're the ones that have done it since forever. Trump is the first President to actually conduct the interview process for that job.

Seriously if Obama was the one doing this the right would be screaming collusion, and we would be the ones accused of sitting by ignoring it.

Re: Media Bias
 

I don't know if it's media bias, media stupidity, or the pure degradation of journalism; but one thing I do know is that every headline writer should have to explain how the f*** they create a story's headline.

For Example:
Headline -U.S.
[B]‘Really Big’ Earthquake Is Coming, Striking 7 Million People in the Worst Natural Disaster in North American History[/B]
Newsweek Dana Dovey,Newsweek 6 hours ago


Opening Paragraph(emphasis mine): The last time the Juan de Fuca oceanic plate jolted under the North American plate, unleashing a 9.0 earthquake, [B]was in 1700. With the event scheduled to happen once every 500 years or so, we are due for another any day now.[/B] Although it's not clear what will happen when this mega quake does hit, researchers at the University of Washington recently presented 50 possible scenarios of how the event might unfold.
______________________________
Ok, so either there is a typo and it should read every 300 years or so, OR
being due for a jolt any day now covers roughly 183 years.

Either way the headline is cataclysmic and the final line of the article tells the real truth:
Oral history of Native American tribes living on the Pacific West Coast in 1700 describe entire tribes being swept away with post-earthquake tsunamis, but 500 years of geological and technological advancements point to the [B]next quake being far less devastating[/B]. [minor lol that even in this conclusion the author is writing for the year 2200 (1700+500)]

crazy bad headline/fearmongering article with absolutely no merit (I gave the citation, but I don't see the point in actually linking it)

Re: Media Bias
 

I ain't denying trash journalism exists today, because it does. That article is pure fear-mongering. If it happens every 500 years we'll be dead by the time it happens again.

Re: Media Bias
 

Another in the faux hyper fearmongering style:

HEADLINE:
[B]Here's what would happen if North Korea hit the US with an EMP that could take out 90% of the population[/B]

First 3 bolded points in article:

Experts recently told Congress that a North Korean electromagnetic-pulse attack on the US could wipe out 90% of the population.

EMP attacks are unproven, and the academic community finds this claim ridiculous.

Even if North Korea did pull off the attack, it wouldn't hurt the US's nuclear systems that are hardened against EMPs
_______

I don't know how many articles since Trump was elected have had these Armageddon kind of tones, especially around NK, but clearly most if not all are sensationalism at its worst. And the underlying intent is to create a tone of fear that subverts the national dialogue. It is really pathetic

Re: Media Bias
 

I feel confident you could say the same thing about other media companies out there. Unless of course Fox News is staying totally silent about the sexual harassment/assault scandals because Ailes/O'Reilly did the same shit for years. In which case they get a pass for trying to make up for the years of sexual harassment they also did.

S/N speaking of sexual harassment/assault, I find it absolutely hilarious Kellyanne is literally excusing Roy Moore's conduct because they need votes to pass their shit tax bill. Not that I wouldn't expect anything less from the ruling party.

MY Opinion!

As the Father of three girls and the brother of four sisters this sexual harassment stuff has me mad in conflicted ways but I all so think on how we seem to be forgetting our basic legal truth,everyone is presumed "innocent until proven guilty in a court of Law.IMO and JR would know better than I but to me thanks to to "social media" people aren't allowed that right anymore,it makes it that much harder to have a fare and impartial jury anymore.
