Zeroisanumber posted:Bullshit. If that were the case we would've had Snowden this year (or at least "The NSA") and Osama Bin Laden in 2001. They actually were going to choose Bin Laden for 2001. They didn't because there's a second important criteria for the person of the year and thats "Money". They chose Giuliani because nobody would have bought a magazine declaring Bin Laden person of the year.

icantfindaname posted:The fact that there exist media outlets reporting news other than their daily talking points is media bias by their definition. When my local radio clowns share the day's talking points with the listener, like it's some kind of inside scoop and definitely not the same thing Rush, Hannity, and Levin are saying in a different timeslot, they always preface it by saying that the mainstream media isn't covering it. And it's entirely true, because the 'mainstream media' consists of lots of unrelated organizations that don't receive the daily RNC talking points. The existence of any news at all other than their talking points is an example of bias. What's more annoying than anything is that the conservative shittrain IS the mainstream media. They are at once the most popular and widespread line of information and also underground revolutionaries fighting the good fight against tyranny and oppression. It's cowboys and Indians for old white people. They rail against actual dissidents and propagate the establishment as much as possible while they glorify the concept of political dissidence and hero worship imaginary freedom fighters like Rush Limbaugh and Ted Cruz. It's exasperating how oblivious conservatives are to it because it's so transparent that the only way they could fall for it would be to choose to remain willfully ignorant.

So is there anyone in the British or Danish media that's being stupid about the infamous selfie, or is it just the American media that's being dumb? (I'm assuming the latter.)

Looks like the patriotic Tea Partiers are going to build a narrative against Boehner over the budget deal. Drudge was earlier displaying a prominent link to a National Journal article that is pretty funnyquote:House Speaker John Boehner went off on outside conservative groups Wednesday morning for pushing against the new budget deal. BONUS: Master Shake is saying that Boehner is declaring WAR ON YOU

Did Pope Francis even mention capitalism directly or did he just refer to a culture of money idolatry? That's pretty telling if right-wingers heard the dude who supposedly has a direct line with say "money idolatry" and their reaction is "he's talking about us!".

Yes, he specifically said that trickle down economics is bullshit, which conservatives quickly retconned into being a mis-translation of "trickle-down" because the Pope could never betray Saint Ronnie

Trickle-down economic theory being the One True Capitalism is definitely a solid conservative meme that the talking heads can stamp a Gadsden Flag on and sell to the crackpots. I really shouldn't be surprised by this but I honestly am. We just saw the number one clergyman literally preach exactly what Christ taught and get called a communist for it. I'm floored right now.

If you have any interest at all in the Great Selfie Scandal of 2013, you owe it to yourself to read Andrea Peyser's column on the subject. Have just a taste: quote:In front of 91 world leaders, the mourning nation of South Africa and Obama’s clearly furious wife, Michelle, the president flirted, giggled, whispered like a recalcitrant child and made a drat fool of himself at first sight of Denmark’s voluptuously curvy and married prime minister, Helle Thorning-Schmidt.
