At least Fox has an agenda they're trying to push. CNN is just desperate.

Matt Walsh goes into old man yells at cloud territory to remind us that The Truth inherently means gay marriage isn't real, it's make believe, not possible.quote:But whatever the Supreme Court says, the Truth remains the same: There is no right to gay marriage. There is no gay marriage. It’s not real. It’s not possible.

Your life has no meaning if THE TRUTH isn't relevant. So please join me in acting like nothing happened this week. Trigger warning: we may occasionally break kayfabe to make fag jokes about people's rainbow avatars.

I love that conservatives at every level, from sitting politicians down to irrelevant bloggers, are outing themselves with these baldfaced hateful statements that they can't walk back. Like, even the confederate flag drama can be hidden behind "SOUTHERN HERITAGE" bullshit, but this is just unambiguous hate speech. I hope someone in the media besides Daily Show interns are cataloging all this.

It's my favorite radio show to listen to because he literally thinks that gays have an end goal of shutting down Christian churches and throwing all of the Christians in jail, I can't wait until the podcast for his Friday show goes up because it's probably going to be three hours of tears and anger.

Al Jazeera America is cool and good, and is definitely better than all the other US cable TV news stations by a long shot. The irony that the best American news station is based in Qatar has never stopped being funny.

I think AJA is editorially independent of Al Jazeera in Qatar. They're basically a different entity, just owned by the same folks.

Al Jazeera English and/or America has pretty much the same problem NPR & PRI do. It isn't so much what they cover or how they cover it, it's what they won't cover. But since with Al Jazeera that's pretty much just poo poo directly related to Qatar, that makes them a much better news source for the West. RT is similar re: Russia.

Ghost of Reagan Past posted:I think AJA is editorially independent of Al Jazeera in Qatar. They're basically a different entity, just owned by the same folks. I hope so. I used to listen to Al Jazeera in Qatar and as a result have never paid much attention to it or taken it seriously in the US. In Qatar it was pretty rabid. I remember this "American" guy who they used to put on to yell at who was so much a right wing caricature that I think Rush Limbaugh would've told him to tone it down. Also, they really weren't fans of anything Iran did about anything.

BiggerBoat posted:From a ways back but I think it's worth pointing out how many Republicans really do want to live in a theocracy. Republicans are the party of Lincoln who freed the slaves and they love the Confederacy and everything it stood for. Republicans love the US Constitution so much that some of them will carry small copies of it around in their pockets and they find many of the powers it gives the government they work for completely tyrannical and deeply offensive to their sensibilities. Republicans love freedom and want to protect religious freedom by establishing a singular interpretation of one specific religion as the law of the land.
