She made only one direct reference to Kirk, quoting his own words:
“Black women do not have the brain processing power to be taken seriously. You have to go steal a white person’s slot”. - Charlie Kirk
Isnt wapo bezos’ bragger
The same Washington Post that reported with 100% confidence that the shooter was definitely, absolutely trans? And still hasn’t redacted their lies?
The Washington Post is really trying to become the New York Post
It’s owned by Bezos. Nuff said!
I honestly don’t know why anyone who isn’t a right wing ball licker even looks sideways at either of those shit rags. They aren’t news outlets, they’re propaganda distribution hubs for the neo-nazi right.
Where do you get news from?
AP, Reuters, Guardian, and a half a dozen others including highly liberal rags like Mother Jones, Pink news, and MSNBC. Very occasionally CNN and WSJ. Very very often Lemmy, Piefed, and reddit.
Anyone who uses just a single source for news is a fool begging to be lied to and told what to think.
Look at Ground News and Tangle
Watching the media try to whitewash this piece of shit is a real mask-off moment for them.
apparently this piece of shit is gonna get a funeral service at football stadium. What a fucking joke
Washington post is owned by Jeff Bezos, no?
Affirmative, and it went downhill quick
It’s really funny watching American corporate power fight federal regulation for decades only to immediately line up behind an authoritarian government to obey in advance the whims of a babbling narcissist who is purposely crashing the economy to satisfy his need for egotistical revenge. If all of our speech is tied up in media companies bought and paid for by corporate interests, or social media tech giants that deliver surveillance data to the government at will with our own tax dollars, how can it possibly even approach being “free”? It cannot, and that is pretty much the goal.
Retaliation just for quoting Kirk, a man who built a media and legal influencing juggernaut on his protected speech, is especially ironic given the great efforts made to develop and spread his ideas.
I’d like to see how sharing someone’s own public words is disparaging their memory. Isn’t that how he’d want to be remembered? Did he recant those words? Because if it is wrong to quote him, that implies those words shame his memory. But then why is it shameful to quote him, but not to speak the words in the first place?
I’m sure this is rhetorical, but in case anyone doesn’t know the game plan: they want to exploit the sudden uptick in people looking into Kirk to draw more people into his ideology, which works best if the newcomer thinks he was well liked and respected.
If someone sees his true beliefs from the beginning, they’ll be more likely to see it for the putrid vomit that it is, but if they first believe he was an intellectual free-thinker brutally murdered for speaking the truth, they may give his bigotry more weight when they stumble upon it later.
To quote Death Cab for Cutie, “he was a bastard in life, thus a bastard in death.”
Welp. I had cancelled after the last debacle, but resubbed on an extremely cheap offer.
I guess I’ll have to cancel again.
why are you giving corpos more money
Because I wanted a reliable source of news and they offered it for $2 a month.
I also want to support real journalism.
Sounds like a slam dunk wrongful termination suit, though now that rag gets even more raggedy
I don’t have faith that the courts will rule wrongful termination for telling the truth, the defence will simply cite all the ways that move damages their reputation and call that cause.
I don’t know if it is, it absolutely should be. But I don’t know if it is. Republicans and Democrats have so weakened labor power. And I’m sure the owners will try to point out something in the contract that justifies them doing this no matter how bullshit it is.
All media is currently Fascist, trust nothing from any news organization. It’s all carefully crafted to shift the national conversation ever more to the right.
What do you think about the guardian
They’re okay… I also read an article from The Nation that was okay. But these are not really what I would call mainstream. I should have said mainstream in the original comment
It’s the third biggest broadsheet paper in the UK - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_newspapers_in_the_United_Kingdom
They published that Kirk’s high-school friend said he was a leftist (gave no details), then later retracted it because he said he couldn’t actually remember.
Maybe they should’ve corroborated that with some more of his friends before unleashing that?
I had no idea the Post was run by Reddit mods.
Anyone wanna bet she will be replaced by a white conservative dude?
No thanks, I’d rather keep my money
Or some blonde pile of plastic surgery.
I found this Carlos Maza video from three years ago to be illuminating about Charlie and his organization.
And?
