Shapiro is 38. If that's geriatric than so am I and I'm not ready for that.

Tesseraction posted:They pivoted on a dime to the rapist being an immigrant. Yep. And acting like going scorched earth on illegal immigration would resolve pedophilia. No, parading the mugshots of white, native born American pedophiles will not shift their views on the matter. They will insist that eliminating illegal immigration will eliminate all sexual crimes. They know they're being dishonest. On top of this, they'll often insist the 10 year old should have been forced to carry the pregnancy and possibly die in childbirth. Because gently caress you.

It doesn't matter, regardless they'll shame progressives for trying to use this poor girl as an example of why abortion access is necessary. The other tack they've been on is arguing that the circumstances wouldn't have necessitated getting an abortion out of state, and that I think the abortion occurred before Roe V Wade got overturned. They heavily downplay situations like pregnancy from rape and insist its an outlier among abortions and not somthing they wanted banned. This way they can make it look like pro choice activists are overreacting

Oh yeah okay that totally makes the 10 year old dying during childbirth okay.

I think for the first time ever I've been occasionally finding myself agreeing with a few things from these talk radio shows, specifically their criticisms of Biden, who impossible to defend on most levels. A few times I listen and have to concede that "yep, they got me there". But regarding inflation and all these rising prices that are happening everywhere - in practically every country - how come all I hear is that all of this is somehow Biden's fault? If it were only happening in the US then yeah but this is pretty much global. I'm not sure what they think he can DO about it and god knows I never hear any suggestions from RWM,

Right wing media isn't pushing any solutions though. Making things better isn't the deal they make with their base of political support. Their deal is "Give us power, we'll hurt the people you hate." Bitching about how bad X, Y or Z are is just to identify the proper targets so they know who to hate. On the optimistic assumption that anything actually was fixed, they would just move on to the next thing to blame their targets for.

FlamingLiberal posted:Pretty sure if you are a conservative under 40 you are basically a boy wonder Going by that "Young Guns: A New Generation of Conservative Leaders" manifesto from 2010, the authors of which were Eric Cantor (47), Kevin McCarthy (45), and Paul Ryan (40), It's safe to say that Conservatives think 50 is the new 30. Prism posted:You hear the same line up here in Canada and yet I keep voting for the NDP. Conservatives love to attribute this to Winston Churchill, specifically claiming he said "If you're Conservative under 30 you have no heart; if you're Liberal over 30 you have no brain". He never said that, yet some Conservatives still repeat this. As if trying to use Churchill as some sort of gotcha.

One big thing that about almost all these guys, especially the radio hosts, is how interchangeable they are. Like they're built in a factory. I could listen to a half hour of each and every one of them and not be able to tell you which dude was which. At this point, you could probably just program an AI to host these loving shows. There's no originality, cleverness or anything to distinguish one from the other. At least Rush actually had talent and you weren't always sure what he was going to talk about or what he might say about a specific issue. These guys...it's like they all went to a class or some poo poo.

They just don't. Krystal Ball just went on Bill Maher a few weeks ago and she got literally tag teamed by Bill and another guy spouting bullshit about Biden's role in the economy and she debunked both of them as best she could. But the same bullshit they were spouting is and was repeated ad nauseum on every right wing media show before and after their exchange, until the next big thing in the news cycle hit. The audience believes it now regardless of how wrong it is, which is exactly the goal. Purestrain misinformation. It's so bad, Bill doesn't even remember that the stock market completely crashed in March of 2020 in response to the super bad news that the coronavirus actually wasn't a hoax and actually wasn't going away: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HaYgWkNdsGc&t=113s

Can we categorise the Washington Post as "right wing media" as well? Not content with giving editorial limelight to scumbags like Marc A. Thiessen and George Will, they are now also platforming transphobia as well - https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/07/14/berkeley-law-professors-senate-testimony-didnt-go-how-left-thinks-it-did/ The Washington Post's ""Democracy Dies in Darkness" is not a warning, but their motto and mission statement.
