Echo Chamber posted:The correspondents for The Nightly Show, Shenaz Treasury, Ricky Velez, and Mike Yard. I'd be totally okay with that. I'm confident that Larry Wilmore can be a lot funnier and entertaining than Kamau Bell. I'd much rather it be its own thing than a pale imitation of TDS or Colbert, just as I'm sure that nobody wanted Colbert to be another half hour of TDS.

So was there a reason Obama and friends didn't show up for the French march thing, or is this something I'm just gonna have to deal with reading posts about on Facebook for the next couple of weeks? Ah, time for noted shitbag Rupert Murdoch's stance on the issue.

Narcissus1916 posted:I can understand the pro-life position. The problem with the pro-life position is that it ranges from "none of your goddamn business" and "total hypocrisy because they typically don't give a poo poo about the Innocent Life once it's out of the womb," as the guy in that interview so clearly demonstrated.

TLG James posted:Jesus gently caress he got so fat. He was only not a fat piece of poo poo for a little while, and returned to being a fat piece of poo poo after everyone stopped taking him seriously as a presidential candidate. It sure is fun watching his fat rear end die on camera here though. e: "I read it. It ain't Shakespeare."

berserker posted:God I loving hate Huckabee. "The bubble people, those who live in the bubble lands of NY, Washington, and Hollywood" It's the classic Republican tactic of pretending they are all "Washington outsiders" who are all salt-of-the-earth even though most of them are millionaires that have been in office for half a century, and assuming their voting base is retarded enough to buy it.

Steve Vader posted:This isn't a parody show. It's just Politically Incorrect. Which is fine, but every discussion feels truncated and will always seem poorly edited. Wilmore doesn't have the advantage of having a pre-crafted "character" like Colbert did, so I think he might need some time for the show to find a groove. Hopefully the show manages to hang in there until that happens, but it's not as though they have anything better to replace it either way.

Hammy posted:She said she wouldn't stand up if she was a GOP congresswoman, not that she doesn't believe in equal pay. I took it as an acknowledgement that the game trumps ideology: it doesnt matter what she may or may not believe, if everyone on her side is sitting down she's not gonna be the one person standing up and cheering, because that would be politically moronic. edit: this is probably just me projecting what my response would be onto her though You would think that if she believed that would get her Cristed, she might have the self-awareness to realize that maybe she is on the wrong side? ...No, of course not, she writes for the loving Blaze.

Generic American posted:Man, I'm curious to see what take the Nightly Show will have on American Sniper tonight. I'm not sure if it has the balls to forgo immediately cloaking all discussion in blind hero-worship. Looks like it doesn't. Why do they have to pick a psychopathic pathological liar who had no shame in expressing how much he wanted to kill browns to be the American Hero poster boy? That seems like it should be the main sticking point and yet everyone seems to tiptoe around it because HE DEFENDED YOUR FREEDOM LEAVE MERICA IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT.

Generic American posted:So, realtalk here; what the gently caress was the point of that entire discussion? That was irritatingly vapid. If they didn't want to say anything on the issue beyond "well, this is a thing!", they should have chosen another topic. I'm trying to figure that out myself, that entire episode felt like a waste of everyone's time. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but I think I was expecting him to at least not be terrified of saying something the vets on the panel might not agree with.

There was a great discussion to be had there over the American definition of "heroism" and its unimpeachability when it comes to the military, especially in light of the cult of personality around this guy. Ironically, instead of going there and maybe talking about something interesting, they bought right into it and the whole thing was little more than "uh hey, heroes all around am I right guys!"bobjr posted:I'm still not sure if Sarah Palin believes what she says or if she just found a group that will worship her like a god and is sticking with it. No reason it can't be both. raditts fucked around with this message at 02:31 on Jan 28, 2015 |

EndOfTheWorld posted:CDC Suppressed a Whistleblower claiming elevated rates of autism in african-american kids who got a vaccine? Honestly, do you even need to find a source to know that was total bullshit? "SHOCKING SECRET: Vaccines really do cause autism --- BUT ONLY IN BLACK CHILDREN" doesn't even stand up to a couple seconds of non-insane thought. If the last two panels are the kind of no-balls non-discussion we can expect from this show, it's really not going to last long without some serious retooling.

Shockingly, people may actually be interested in conversing with one another if they're meeting for the first time and the conversation hasn't yet shifted toward personal ideology. Let's stretch this concept out to a 10-minute segment and make funny faces in the background.
