bpower posted:Why are so many of the men on Fox grotesque when all the women are super hot (their character notwithstanding ). Why not all hot women and all hot men. Hot people! Pretty sure the old white dudes they put on are supposed to add legitimacy to everything the network says. People listen to old white guys and take the things they say very seriously. An old white guy in a suit telling you something is more likely to sound good than a young, buff hunk. Well if you're an old white dude yourself, anyway.

Here's my summary: In spite of studies to the contrary, right wing economic policy really is better for the economy because conservatives have money. And having money means they know something you don't: How to have money. Oh, and the only reason you disagree is because of your liberal predisposition.

I caught some Limbaugh today...I'm not sure if I was able to derive the context properly but it seemed he was arguing that stuff like that Charleston shooting was the result of the mainstream media always pushing apocalyptic news stories like global warming etc. I didn't explicitly hear him mention the shooting but I missed the lead in. He was non-ironically saying that the repetition of these types of scare-mongering stories warps peoples' world views.

I wouldn't put too much stock in it. In shooter news, I heard in uspol that Bill O'Reilly actually called this terrorism. That's a stand I wouldn't think would be allowed on Fox...

Also, "terrorism" implies "Islamist" which directly plays into the kind of narrative that people want to spin the shooting into.

Why are you trying to make this about race? This is a tragedy and we shouldn't be trying to use it for political reasons. Just let people mourn and pray and ignore the reasons why this happened. Why can't you people on the left just not make clearly senseless violence political?!

I know US news isn't good with foreign news but how is this story about the burning of historic Christian church in Israel by Jewish extremists being covered? (In any outlets which have covered it.) http://www.independent.co.uk/news/w...a-10329998.html In the  "war on Christianity" is there ever coverage of the genuine attacks on Christians in Iraq/Syria/Kenya/Nigeria? As I don't live in the US, I am curious as to whether all the domestic "war on Christianity" storyline ever incorporates genuine atrocities into its coverage to legitimise fake  ?E: I know there is a loose alliance/reciprocity between evangelicals and Jewish/Israeli lobbyists and I am kind of curious to see how an American pro-Christian media handles events where Jewish extremists and Christians are in conflict.

Leofish posted:It's not up on the web yet, but on last night's Daily Show opening, Jon Stewart called out all that poo poo. He called out the fact that America has spent trillions of dollars and lost thousands of American lives invading two countries, and flying drones over half a dozen others all in the name of keeping Americans safe from foreigners who want to kill them, but the nation refuses to believe there's a problem within. He straight up called the Charleston shooting a terrorist attack, and a clear case of a racist who wanted to kill people he hated. "There's no nuance here." I'm going to miss Job Stewart terribly. Colbert too but to a lesser extent. I'm not sure who ca take up the mantle.Stewart has done The Lord's Work for a long, long time and it's going to flat out suck when he retires. edit: aw, gently caress it.

I feel bad for the friend who tried to get the gun away from him and then relented.

I was listening to the right wing christian take on today's events in the form of Janet Parshall. Would it shock you to know that they didn't even remotely bring up the fact that he was indeed a racist and just focused on his drug use? Unfuckingreal. But I guess I should expect nothing less from people who unironically had a guest on the other day that kept going on about how good the British Empire was for various native people across the world, and how Gahndi was a fervent supporter of "limited government" and supported the British Gov't back in the day. e: If anyone can? Bring back the history thread. I have a full list of this guy's books and how wrong he is on topics ranging from the Civil War to American History.

The amazing thing is, the family members of the victims straight up said to the guy "We forgive you. Pray and repent your sins. May God have mercy on you." They were obviously devastated and said as much, but they did the actual Christian thing and forgave the killer.
