Of course, this story wonāt find its way into the media narrative generally. After a couple of days people will believe somebody, probably the President, called for a moment of silence for the Dallas shooter. Why, because as far as the modern media machine is concerned truth doesnāt exist. Every lie Trump spews has to be repeated endlessly.
Clovis allowed. āIāve seen moments where Iāve seen in some of these demonstrations, Iāve seen thereās a reverence paid to the shooter that is, really, itās startling."
Sam, how about some citations? And Cuomo, how about pressing the point and asking for some goddamned specifics?This pig simply makes shit up like his fascist conman candidate does.
I donāt know what Fat Sam is talking about. They were right next to all the people Von Clownstick saw cheering as the World Trade Center collapsed.
Iāve seen thereās a reverence paid to the shooterā¦
What do you suppose that is exactly? If Clovis went back and reviewed all the tapes of demonstrators (ācause he sure as heck wasnāt there), do you suppose he could point out an example of this "reverenceā? Even one?
Exactly. When and where did this āreverenceā paid to the Dallas sniper take place and at which demonstration? In what form what this āreverenceā shown exactly?
This fat pig canāt name any because he didnāt see any of this.
Jabba speaketh once again, after major Trump assholery abounds. Festoons!
a reverence paid to the shooter
Staggering, cold-blooded, intentional race baiting by this disgrace of a candidate on a day when others of all political stripes attempted healing. So much so even his spinner wobbles. Thank God most mediaās there with a cold beverage and a fake poll (/s)ā¦
In three days, he will say that he saw it on Twitter.
I guess this guy just doesnāt like being employed.
Look, Iāve criticized the media a fair bit, and Iāve also tried to do it in a nuanced way and been accused of being an apologist for them. And Iāve got a thick enough skin that I donāt much care. That said, is this an incident on which it makes sense to base a dismissal of the entire media world as in the tank for Trump? A host on one of the leading cable news networks put a Trump surrogate on the spot and made him admit he hadnāt personally seen any moment of silence calls. What more do you want? For Cuomo to give the guy noogies until he admits itās all lies from start to finish? Sure, the b.s. goes reverberating out regardless. But if this isnāt a pretty clear case of a prominent media person pushing back on the lies, then seriously, what would be?
āI personally have not,ā Clovis allowed. āIāve seen moments where Iāve seen in some of these demonstrations, Iāve seen thereās a reverence paid to the shooter that is, really, itās startling. I think that isā
Chances are they are still trying to frame the narrative to get the usual political points, but it shouldnāt be surprising if they begin using Twitter or a Pacifica station as that point of reference.
when you have a person who purposefully and with intent murders five police officers, thatās terrible, and I donāt think you should celebrate that in any way shape or form.ā
and you shouldnāt mention it without citations, but here you areā¦
āIāve seen moments where Iāve seen in some of these demonstrations, Iāve seen thereās a reverence paid to the shooter that is, really, itās startling.
oh my god!..
Trump first alluded to unnamed individuals calling for a moment of silence for the Dallas shooter on Tuesday at an Indiana rally and in an interview on Fox News.
OH! MY! GOD!..!!!1!!!
āI saw itā¦ the mirror.ā ā Trump
Well since it is all lies from start to finish, it might be appropriate to keep at until he admits that is was fabricated bullshit. (noogies optional)
We will see.
I made the mistake of watching the three early evening MSNBC shows the last few days. Although they arenāt open about it those shows are all about promoting Trump. MSNBC doesnāt become rational before Chris Hayes. The people on CNN are all about promoting Trump as well. Fox News is just Fox News. Look at the guests the media invites week in and week out and it is hard not to conclude a very deep and abiding conservative bias. Rudy Giuliani is an older version of David Duke but he is given legitimacy by cable channels everywhere.
More importantly the media exists to sell ad space. Without a horse race the cable companies suck air. If you look closely at all of the indicators it is just hard to see how Trump is at all competitive. The only thing Trump has going for him is the fawning press happy to repeat any crazy thing he says over and over again. Repeated enough any lie can become the truth.
Guest: Ridiculous thing.
Host: Oh, come on, did you actually see that?
Guest: No, I didnāt see it personally. But I have seen something exactly like that and I shall describe it slightly differently to see if you catch it.
Host: And weāll have to leave it there.
Iām not ready to call what I see on TV push-back. Still hoping though.
āContext, my eye. Either youāve seen they were calling for a moment of silence or you havenāt.ā Boy, when milquetoast CNN straight calls you out, youāre in trouble. Credit where credit is due to CNN. Thank you, C. Cuomo.
SoME HAve said that BarrY Hussein SOEtoro called for a MOMEnt of silence FOR the COP kILLer and started a GO fund ME page for ISIS. I Would Never saY such a THINg, but SOME PEOPle have said that.
