VideoTapir posted:They loving destroyed commercial radio in general. They're big into billboards, and many of their billboards are illegal. This is why Clear Channel has always been a difficult name for me to wrap my head around when it's mentioned in the context of radio. I can't think of them as anything other than the company that owns almost every billboard in the UK.

Hieronymous Alloy posted:Alan Moore originally wrote V for Vendetta in response to Thatcherism I was about to say that moths' 'sci-fi Hitler' was a bit off, but if that's his interpretation then everyone gets away clean, and nobody's made any specious comparisons. Everyone wins!

Tatum Girlparts posted:So have you never seen Bullshit or what because he 'talks' with people who agree with him and basically sneers and chortles at anyone else. Bullshit is a bit of misleading avenue, because as far as I'm aware their writing involvement was limited to tweaking things into Penn's style. They weren't the head writers by any stretch, they were just hosts, and would have had a limited influence on the overall approach of the thing. That said, they still took the shilling, so it only excuses so much. I suppose the best thing I can say about Penn is that his politics don't come from a place of spite, and that I can't be sure I wouldn't have lost touch too if I spent most of my time living in somewhere as ghastly and otherworldly as Vegas.

FuzzySkinner posted:My father's literal reaction to pointing this out would be: I don't doubt that's how he'd respond, but if that was his argument, what he's really saying is that the companies should stuff mattresses and hide it from their shareholders too. It really doesn't matter to a company whether they pay money as tax or a dividend, the result is the same.

IceAgeComing posted:I bet you that if Clinton wins someone somewhere will write a piece calling her a "liberal Margaret Thatcher" meaning is as a complement, even though its probably the nastiest thing that you can say about someone Oh, it'll happen, a big old crop of prejudices and arrogant ideas will go in a blender and those who hate her will attempt to co-opt her, in the way that Obama was at least useful in saying that racism in America must definitely be over. Personally, I'm waiting for the first pundit to argue that although Clinton is obviously a bitch oval office, her being president proves how equal opportunity is in America - because can you imagine a woman ever being a president in one of those sandy countries?

FuzzySkinner posted:http://pando.com/2015/05/25/heres-t...ng-his-account/ I wonder if he's just knows someone at the company and is using their headed paper. The number of typos and the amount of polemic, coupled with the fact that it says very little in a legal sense, do kind of suggest that was composed by the sausage fingers of Chuck himself. Quite apart from the fact that if you were embarking on such a case, a firm that deals almost exclusively in employment law probably wouldn't be your first port of call.

Azuth0667 posted:You joke but parents at my high school tried to ban this, Macbeth, and The Outsiders. One of the essay assignments we had on Chaucer at school was to write a letter responding to a (fictitious) complaint from a parent, defending the inclusion of his work on the curriculum. The teacher had clearly encountered a bit of that attitude in prior years.

Sharkie posted:It's totemic. He's wearing it to show he's a good, humble, christian white guy from the Real America. Not some communist metrosexual from the big city. He knows exactly what he looks like and that's why he's wearing it. Absolutely, which is what makes the green visor in the brim of his hat hilarious. There are limits to 'rugged', after all.

Pener Kropoopkin posted:I wouldn't say Breitbart died with its namesake at all. It's still mined for hit pieces by the RWM mainstream. They're a bunch of lost soldiers without a general at this point though, going crackers through starvation and dehydration. On which note - does anyone know what happened to cause their contributor John Nolte to get fired from his old gig on right-wing film site Libertas a good few years back? He used to edit it under the name 'Dirty Harry', and during his tenure he was the only real contributor. There was a public incident of some kind, which the site owners never expanded on much other than saying that people would have to use their real names if they worked for them in the future, and his firing caused the site to be more or less shuttered for a good long while.

deoju posted:Until otherwise demonstrated I just going to assume that scholarship fund is a scheme to grab attention and bilk money from rich idiots. I'm not too familiar with how much it costs to do a degree in the US, but the maximum bursary on offer in that thing is $2500. I'm pretty sure that's not enough to send anyone to university, or enough to make a difference in them weighing up how much they want to go versus how much debt they'll end up with. So it's entirely about getting attention, with any money that comes through the doors being incidental. Minghawk fucked around with this message at 01:14 on Jan 23, 2016 |

Sir Tonk posted:Of course he will lose, facebook can "trend" whatever news it wants. I've no doubt that he genuinely doesn't get that, though. Like that idiot Milo and his Twitter altercation, these types seem to think that private companies need to behave like public utilities whenever they fail to get special treatment. If Crowder actually does 'go legal' on this this his wife's going bankrupt.

nine-gear crow posted:(Milo) I can see him slinking back to England to continue being a shitlord there in its post-Brexit hellscape. Because he can at least get on British television no problem, he's proven that much. I don't even think he's welcome on Fox News over here. He might land a 3 minute spot on the news as a curiosity, but there's absolutely no chance of him having a TV career of any kind in the UK. There just isn't any possible audience for him, not even a tiny one. The US right at this specific point in time is the only place he can ever have a platform, and after the election he's done.
