roymorrison posted:Is this the thread to talk about Trevor Noah interviewing some lady? No fewer than 3 people have brought that up despite my best efforts to preserve my sanity In case people missed it, let me sum up the interview: Tomi Lahren: "I don't see color" Also Tomi Lahren, about 5 minutes later: "IS IT BECAUSE I'M WHITE!?!!?" "I'm a Millennial, so I don't like labels" Me, after that loving comment:  "Really though, what did the KKK do?" "Black Lives Matter is just this generation's KKK" *Duck and dodges the tough questions. Refuses to answer, instead deflects and rapidly changes subjects* Trevor Noah (paraphrasing here): Black people can't march, because they're labeled thugs. They can't protest because they're "rioting", they can't kneel in a corner by themselves, because it's disrespectful. So how can the black community protest, in ways that you're ok with? Tomi: BLACK MEN ARE 18.5% MORE LIKELY TO KILL A POLICE OFFICER THAN A POLICE OFFICER TO KILL A BLACK MAN! WHY DON'T WE TALK ABOUT THIS!?!??! Trevor: ... Ok, uh, well, okkkk... But back to my question, how can the black community protest? Tomi: HOW CAN YOU DISRESPECT THE FLAG AND THE ANTHEM!?!?!????? Trevor (at this point he's chuckling because he knows this bitch has the IQ of a grapefruit): Ok, but you still haven't answered my question... So, how would YOU protest? Tomi: .... Well, I wouldn't protest  It was at that point that I needed to pause the interview, and go  to be able to finish it, because I can only take so much of that vapid oval office. The rest of it was, unfortunately, uneventful. I was kinda disappointed that Trevor didn't just crush her and really drive the point home to her that she's nothing but a mouthpiece and a honeypot for the conservative base who need an objectively attractive, blond haired, blue eyed woman to tell them what to think. She's lost without cue cards, has absolutely no worldly experience (she's like, 23 or 24) that would justify her lovely opinions, and in general is just dumb as a loving brick. Her only hope is she somehow pulls her head out of her rear end and see's that she's just a pawn and cuts ties... Yeah, like that'll happen

It got somewhat glossed over last page, but regarding supermarket tabloids like the Enquirer and such, what is saving their asses from getting sued out of this world for libel?

stringball posted:I've looked this up and I don't have a grasp on what is libel for popular/public figures, they'll make the case as drawn out and expensive as possible and any royalties they pay will be disputed So they're free to write whatever they want, knowing full well that if it came to litigation, they'd just drag their feet, cost the plaintiff more money than it's worth, then dispute everything until the end of time? What a garbage state of affairs.
