Sissy CNN Media Reporter: Critics of CNN Are Bigots We're Now Calling "Extreme Anti-Journalists"
Yes, of course. It was time to invent an "Islamophobia"-style slur to brand critics of genuine abuses with.
Before we get to this fat little girl's attempt at a new PC slur to control people, let's review some of the media's recent work, CNN's especially: This liberal journalist freaks out over Deputy Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders' mention of a "barrage of fake news," shrilly screeching that she was "inflaming" people against reporters, which I guess makes them Feel Unsafe. Chris Cuomo then welcomed this sad little girl on to CNN and told her she's always got a Safe Space there. Also in that clip, Chris Cuomo's co-bimbo said that journalists were now operating in a "war zone."Chris, at what point does this become dangerous and I'm not just talking about dangerous as in tearing at the social fabric, I'm talking about dangerous in that a journalist gets hurt, because I can tell you working overseas in war zones, people are emboldened by the actions of this administration, emboldened by the all-out sort of declaration of war on the media, if I'm getting it in the neck, Chris I can only imagine what someone like you is dealing with. At what point does this become reckless or irresponsible, Chris?Apparently inflaming people against Republicans is no big deal -- even in the aftermath of the shooting of four people by a Rachel Maddow Super-Fan. (Which is why it's necessary that Sarah Palin sues the New York Times until they cry uncle.) Jim Acosta is a hysterical drama queen who has to be reminded that there's no point playing to the cameras when the cameras are off. However, people who aren't on TV have a way of getting their look-at-me hysterias out into the world. It's called Twitter.
Like he was created in a lab to confirm every claim of media problems made by conservatives. pic.twitter.com/5D4p0iJs25

o how much time did Stelter have for this story on his show Reliable Sources on Sunday? Nothing. Instead, Stelter spent more than five minutes hate-analyzing Fox & Friends as a Trump infomercial. He spent about ten and a half minutes indulging "TV legend" Phil Donahue. He even closed the show with four minutes allegedly about Russia -- but his guest Masha Gessen basically fed back Stelter his favorite talking point that Trump is an "aspiring autocrat" who's shutting down access to the press: "We're definitely hurtling towards a closed system of government..."So in this context, sad fat little girl Brian Stelter attempts to create a new PC slur -- "extreme anti-journalist," which I guess is like racism, but worse, because it's racism against rich college-educated white people.
"Anti-journalism" is on the rise. Activists promoting hatred and resentment of the press. https://t.co/JGbA0c2ez4 pic.twitter.com/XRiFBwk7Di

The embedded graph shows that in fact Medicaid will go up. What MSM have been lying about for the last two days is that a slower rate of increase is a "cut" and that "people will die."

Criticism of one of the Bush twins today over their entering public life as supporters of left wing organizations or ridiculing Chelsea Clinton now posing as some kind of serious political spokesperson of world affairs is full on fair game, because they chose to enter the arena. They made the decision to get on the stage.
The most recent minors in the WH, Sasha, and Barron have no ability to choose their life at this point Malia, now a legal adult, appears to be staying out of the spotlight except on these outings with her dad. She isn't making any political statements and in the pic with the article, looks like she would rather be somewhere else.
Don't forget, she is still shadowed by SS every day, just like the Bush twins were in college. And the Bush twins have talked about how they both tried all kinds of things to slip the SS.

I believe African American communities are rife with crime, drugs, poverty and countless other social ills.

Lessee, what did that Oregon study of Medicaid impact/results show? Oh, right. Not much in the way of results for all the oceans of $$$$ funneled down that drain.
But overall Trump's twatter thing remains entertaining and sometimes informative. Some of the entertainment derives from the discomfort it causes for the clueless sorts, who probably thought Jeb Bush was real presidential material.

Yeah. I liked the colonel's response:
Later, Ogletree noted the "venomous reaction" from George Connell, a
Marine Corps colonel, who angrily declared: "I feel utter contempt. Two
days later they're both [Wallace and Peter Jennings] walking off my hilltop, they're 200 yards away
and they get ambushed. And they're lying there wounded. And they're
going to expect I'm going to send Marines up there to get them. They're
just journalists, they're not Americans....And Marines will die, going
to get a couple of journalists."

And as a practical matter, defending these intruders of reality is counterproductive to the live mission. Soldiers are there to perform a task where death is a real penalty for failure. Saving other members in your unit first is the best (and primary) goal since they are best able to assist in the mission at hand. Forget ethics and honor and politics and all that rot; preserving the integrity of the available fighting machine is the optimal path for survival. Nothing else ultimately matters.

Those fvckers need to be put on the spot: if you don't think the United States should be allowed to control its own sovereignty, then why should you be allowed to consider yourself an American when you have no loyalty to the nation and a big chunk of its population?

the NYT reported the time, location, and low level of security of the
upcoming Republican baseball practice.
The NYT exposed several key anti-terror programs when Bush was trying to stop another 9/11. For one of the stories, W invited the NYT editor for a meeting and asked him personally to not run the story because the program had been so effective (IIRC, it was the one that tracked terror funds). Nope, ran it without hesitation.
Then there was the Wash Post series on rendition that tracked the planes used to transport detainees - including plane tail numbers and airports used. Oh, they also published the names (and maybe even cities of residence) of our terrorist interrogators, effectively painting target on their backs.
Trying to apply war analogies now (to political squabbles) to get sympathy is *so much FAIL*.

You think it's bad on that side of the counter. I've been on both sides. Nothing like watching the line pack up because some fuckwit is dithering with the tickets. More than once I had to flat out tell them to move because they would start scratching the tickets off right at the counter while there's a line of people standing behind them. And many of these people are problem gamblers, which means you see them all the time. They'll come in, buy tickets, scratch them off, and then come back to the counter. Some would do this for 30 minutes. One time I was had one of these retards right before close and I just ended up locking the doors and turning off most of the interior lights and he was STILL standing there scratching them off. I finally got him to leave when I said WE'RE CLOSED YOU HAVE TO LEAVE NOW.

I'm halfway into It! The Terror from Beyond Space in which the crew of an earth-bound spaceship is being picked off one by one by an alien stowaway. I knew Alien was a sort of jazz riff homage to it but was surprised at how many things it borrowed, like the creature using the air ducts to move around.

Cardinal George Pell in Australia trending now in news.
Third highest-ranking bishop in Catholicism is facing charges in Australia of 'rape, buggery or indecent assault'.
Sounds like what Gibbon had to say about the antipope John XXIII -
'the more scandalous charges were suppressed; the vicar of Christ was
accused only of piracy, rape, sodomy, murder and incest'

The check writers are a dying breed though. Also places are starting to not take them. I was at the gas station I go to regularly to get my stuff a few weeks ago and some old coot comes and produces his check book like it was some sort of important religious document and the cashier was all nope we don't take those now. He walked out of the store looking crushed. He was going to prepay for some gas I think. If you'd told someone you didn't take checks back when I worked at a station, the meltdown would've been epic.

I fucking hated them. Someone would always kite one, there was a list of serial bad check writers you had to check against (some clerks would of course never check and boom rubber check return), and then just the pain in the ass of someone blocking a line while writing one.
They made sense forty or fifty years ago. Nowadays there are many other options.

You must love the direction society is going, with cashiers asking for ID for more and more things -- lighters, cold medicine, spray paint, etc.
A few times as a cashier, my register froze up. It was asking me to punch in a date of birth. Instead of asking for ID, I'd say, "What's your date of birth?"
"What do you need that for?"
"I don't know. Could be anything. What's your date of birth?"
