Corporate Media Is The Misinformation Problem

[dneal]

MSNBC framing the Laken Riley murder in a bizarre way. One person never stood a chance, but it wasn’t the murderer. He got a day in court. He got an attorney. He got due process, all after entering the country illegally and living off of taxpayer dollars.

No wonder the network is on the chopping block.

Good riddance.

An interesting 8 minute monologue from Konstantin Kisin on the decline of corporate media.

Everyone has the right to a fair trial, even those who enter the country illegally and live off taxpayer dollars. That is what a just country does. As far as I can tell, he got a fair trial. Also as far as I can tell he did it, he murdered Laken Riley. He can rot in prison for the rest of his life or they can give him the death penalty, I’m okay with either.

But I am not okay with the right using him the way they did, making it seem like most illegal immigrants are like Jose Ibarra. They didn’t really care about Laken Riley, they cared about how they could use her murder to attack the left.

That was a long road of nonsense to arrive at blaming conservatives.

That was a long road of nonsense ....

hail!

Still using shorthand I see.

I agree with everything that dneal has written...

[TSherbs]

ah, a demonstration of proper context usage, I see

you're always so good at demonstrating what you criticize others for

[dneal]

Yes, I am intentionally demonstrating your typical disingenuous posting.

While I’m slightly surprised that you don’t see the irony (or your hypocrisy), at least you begin to grasp why it deserves criticism.

Nonsense? I would have thought you'd agree with everything I said in the first paragraph. I would hope you agree that everyone has the right to fair trial when accused of a crime. It is a basic right. I assumed you would agree that Ibarra was guilty as charged and deserved either life n prison or the death penalty.

As for blaming conservatives, of course I do not blame them for Laken Riley's murder. I just don't like how they used it. I imagine when they found out that Laken Riley was murdered by an illegal immigrant, their reaction was similar to Ricard Dreyfuss' character (Sen. Bob Rumson) in "The America President" when he found out of that the President had a girlfriend. He knew he found an avenue of attack started singing "its beginning to look a lot like Christmas . . " And boy did they play it to the hilt. They made it seem like Biden was letting millions of Ibarras in the country.

Trump led the way with this kind of rhetoric.

well it was done to get him votes.

I'm really enjoying the two of you losers constantly floundering and flailing about unable to let go of the fact that you are in the minority of American citizens who have not had the ability to have seen through all the lies, crap and BS we have been fed over the past eight years by you and all your woke, leftist, progressive, "Democratic" (sic) pals.

The gig is over boys, you lost.......everywhere. The White House, the Senate, the House of Representatives, the Electoral College, the popular vote. Everywhere.
Not even close.
It's done, you lose.
Give it a rest.

[TSherbs]

He's been race-baiting for decades, even when he was just seeking influence and popularity (which worked). It was a lesson he learned long ago.

From the 2nd post in this thread:

As I noted in a different thread, this "culture war" and inability to engage in civil discussion or debate appears to have started with Trump and covid. The polarization and tribalism is insane at this point.

Above, we see examples of it. I'd point out the TDS, but Warbler gets triggered when I mention it.

Oh, you almost let this one go!

Confession through projection, masquerading as gaslighting.

This you admitting to compulsive behavior and delusional thinking?

The deletion of my account would help to keep me from visiting compulsively. I have no personal stake in this, nor any sense of having been offended (as someone else suggested here). I am not learning much and not enjoying myself. This hasn't been the place for me for some time, but occasionally I have slid into the false hope that my presence and point of view would change the nature of the dynamic (in a few limited ways). But that is delusional thinking, as it always is. FPGeeks isn't broken or in need of fixing, nor anything like that. It is what it is. I need to make the change in myself and move on.

Maybe you should try to engage in civil discussion sometime.

Let’s pick one where I’m not triggering you to F-bombs.

This you civilly discussing calamus’ post?

Sorry but all that sounds

Glass houses, and all that…

[Warbler]

I admit I was not engaging in civil discussion there. Civil discussion with someone spouting crazy conspiracy theories is difficult for me.

[dneal]

That still seems awfully backhanded.

What was your initial experience with your “Trump said he will be a dictator” comment? Were you accused of spouting crazy conspiracy theories? Or were you directed to the context that disproved it?
