Let's Talk About Media

Yesterday I was informed on this board that anyone who provides a platform for nazis, are nazis themselves...

That is supremely ****ed up.

Now - extending your logic from yesterday, we can forever discredit anything that comes out of CNN. Right?

[Julio3000]

Disgusting but perfectly within their rights. They shouldn't even have any employment action taken against them as that would constitute negative government action based on the content of their speech.

There was a case of a prosecutor in, I think, San Francisco who when Reagan was shot said "I hope he dies." The prosecutor was disciplined (I think he was fired). He sued and won. As he should have.

It brings up a lot of interesting questions. Not least of which is an employer’s ability to fire/discipline employees for speech they engage in off the clock. Arguments there probably make for some strange bedfellows, because the speech absolutist camp also overlaps pretty heavily with the at-will employment camp (though I realize these are public employees).

I think I’m with you that there can’t be negative consequences for off-clock speech. In this case there may be an additional complication, i.e. this stuff bearing on the agency’s ability to defend itself in court against accusations of bias or racially-motivated maltreatment, or justify itself in front of Congressional oversight. I have no idea what, if any, contractual obligations DHS employees have, and if they bump up against this kind of conduct at all.

I think that CNN, like the rest of cable news, is 90% trash. But I’m not the one posting tweets from Nazi pals, pretending that they’re journalism.

The only thing Tim Poole is a threat to is your desire to censor speech

Reasonable question. What value to these stupid articles bring?

Its important to round up minorities by driving up white hate.

Keep them on the plantation

Did Biden just kiss his grown granddaughter on the lips? That’s weird. I don’t know any grandpa that would do that.

[cajunrevenge]

I do but they are in prison.

I’ve waited tables and interviewed on live TV.

He’s right. Going on TV can be stressful, but restaurant shifts are much, much harder.

Most of these Fox News correspondents couldn’t last one real day in these hard working jobs they love to mock on television.

@mmfa
Fox & Friends hosts say there's no need to raise the tipped minimum wage: "If you're working at ​a ​McDonald's or a small little restaurant​ where you're making tips, ... if you​'​re nice to the people, you make a lot of money"

McD workers dont get tips.

Ever get the feeling the people some of you repeat daily have no touch with everyday life.
A bubble if you will

Maddows show was the fifth most watched cable news show in July. It has less viewers than a 5pm opinion talk show. A show on at 5pm has more viewers than the most watched liberal program let that sink in. A time when most people are heading home from work and cooking supper outdraws the best program the left could offer.

When your whole show was based on a hoax for 2.5 years there will be ramifications. She is no different than Alex Jones.

Where are the episodes of Maddow acting like this. Thats some videos I want to see.

If this wasn't so sad, it would be hysterical.

Maybe that's the long play. Is that thethe is just like Colbert. This is all a farce where he's pretending to be like this because he's playing a character.

Did you watch her show ever? The dots she tried to connect were comical. She is just considered mainstream because her show is on MSNBC.

Of course Alex Jones is just theatre and I doubt he believes a lot of what he says (or I hope he doesn't) but ultimately they both push lies to their own profit.

[sturg33]

Lol Maddow had lost it people. At least Jones embraces his character

It has now been proven that the editor in chief of MSM is the democratic party. Sadly, its the more exteme section.
