That seems to be happening with left wing news sources. Jack Cocchiarella does this shit on a near constant basis. Hyper clickbait about how ‘Trump COLLAPSES on air’ when it’s just him being his regular stupid self, followed by 10 minutes of Jack’s uninterrupted eye contact/monologue.
Getting real tired of ‘truth brokers’ doing anything but that. Seems like something needs to be done about liars.
I don’t know, but it should.
Once they get a taste for blood, they never stop.
Prequel to the critically acclaimed ‘Hobo with a Shotgun’ we present to you: ‘Dog with a Shotgun’.
Clancy was a staunch conservative. Dedicated several of his books to notable conservative politicans such as Ronald Reagan. He supported the NRA (yes I understand the NRA has changed form over the years but I don’t really care) and he opposed abortion.
He praised Bush for being a ‘good guy’, granted he did challenge the justifications for the Iraq War (I also don’t really care about a broken clock managing to be right).
I haven’t read any of his novels for a very long time, but what I remember is that amongst the tech and spy stuff there is stuff that sounds like very clear RW propaganda (to me).
Granted, this is the first time I’ve thought about Clancy in years outside of conversations with my (you might have guessed it) conservative coworker. I don’t really know much about the man other than he was definitely conservative. I think you could probably make the argument that he was center right, and that the center right from the 60’s is very different than the center right of today. Draw your own conclusions.
Why would I ever do that? Ever?
Why would Clancy write anything that isn’t in full support of conservative idealogy?
Capitalizing every word in a sentence is also stupid, yet here we have people discussing the pseudo-grammar of it.
You must have tree trunks for legs, but my very literal perception of this joke has always been ‘uphill, no downhill — just uphill’. As if they were on some kind of treadmill of hell.
Ok technically yes they’re also a loss leader, but giblets range anywhere between 3-9 bucks sold separately.
Edit: Pretty sure that more than makes up for the 2 dollars lost selling the rotisserie, but hey — apparently I’m bad at math.
But that’s not a hill? What were you, rich?
Pretty sure he’s the bad guy, I think if you’re going for a broader interpretation then it’s more accurate to say that God is also the bad guy.
Guys, did you realize that you can actually eat chicken organs?
For those of you actually wondering where the 2 dollars goes, it’s there. The chicken bits you never want to eat because you’re a spoiled western baby.
Edit: Giblets range anywhere from 3-9$.
So Satan is pretty famous for saying what he thinks, you a big fan of Satan?
Dude, Trump quite literally described metal letters on the wall as “Entirely Bronze, carved, and entirely Brass” in the same fucking sentence.
No this is not just his weird way of talking, he’s an addled old man that should have died 10 years ago.
Sigh Normally I read ‘.ml’ and instantly downvote but… I’m contractually obligated to upvote.
I don’t think anyone just uses one device anymore, pretty sure there are workarounds.
Makes me think God was a woman, and this is her pulling up the ladder.
I’m not being serious, of course, but it’s a fun concept — to me.
Edit: I guess that second part isn’t exactly clear, I’m agnostic so I have enough trouble deciding whether God is or isn’t to be concerning myself with whether or not it’s a man or woman.
Yes those are either massive pieces of bread or that plate is deceptively small.
Yes, admittedly I go through cycles of churning through content. There was a brief period some months ago when his videos were… still clickbait-y but the information provided in them was actually news. Now it’s mostly just a circlejerk about how bad the Trump admin is which, yes I think we can all agree with that. What I dislike about him is how he leverages his platform to, as I said, monologue with unending eye contact. I have since unsubscribed, yet the algorithm sure does want me to keep seeing his videos.
To question of ‘Do people wear this title willingly?’, yes he absolutely does — he makes sure to remind his audience regularly in his monologues.
There are content providers like Meidas Touch that I think are… good. At this point in my life I’m extremely skeptical of anything that tries to send me a message, which is probably a valuable thing to live by if it weren’t so god damned exhausting. Which I think is the point regarding the bad actors trying to undermine public trust in news organizations.
I appreciate you taking the time to write your message. It is refreshing to know that, even if mine is colored by my personal frustrations, that there are people who share my state of mind. I’ll have to watch the discussion between Stewart and Amanpour.
