The best Kurt Eichenwald moment was when he had to sell his belongings to make ends meet and everyone on Twitter was trolling him.
Some dude send him 'flashing images' over Twitter.

Then his 'wife' posted on his account to say he was admitted to the hospital for an epilepsy attack and she would sue them. So the Twitter trolls started calling the hospitals in his area which said they had no such reports.
So he admitted that actually, he posted that message himself (not his wife) to show these trolls what consequences their trolling would have.

Evidently Google Chrome spellchecks 'Eichenwald' to 'Buchenwald' which was a Nazi concentration camp.

I love the internet.

I wonder if Messofanego had a real news job and a twitter account if it would play out like Eichenwald.

Jerry just remember: it's not a lie shitpost if you believe it.

 

[Propagandhim]

What I don't understand is how Eichenwald is still taken seriously.  The tentacle porn, the paying for child porn, LOL UR GAY, the unprofessional lying, and other childish behavior on twitter.    He's still retweeted and circulated like a respectable journalist.  It's strange.


And this gem:
"When did you stop beating your wife?" 
There's no information anywhere on the face of the earth about Tucker Carlson and domestic abuse with his wife -- why is he allowed to say this and still be taken seriously?

Rahxephon how come you can't stop yourself from doing the same shit over and over. You got perma'd from gaf for the same shit! Stop being fucking distinguished mentally-challenged or at least don't cry like a lil bitch when you get permabanned again

I got banned from GAF because I called out pedo jrpgs for being pedo jrpgs and thier fans for being pos. Oh and because kagrai is an idiot.

But at least GAF didn't have Nintendo's cock down it's throat.

I mean don't get me wrong port whining nintendrones are the worst but when you know what's gonna get you banned and yet you keep doing it anyway don't complain at the results.

Disclaimer: if you niccas want me to cosign "why can't we denigrate trans/women/black/etc people, it's my right under free speech" fuckery you can suck my dick.

With that out the way, it's becoming more and more clear that RE is a highly curated collection of people who cannot handle dissent, disagreement, or losing. There is a constant pattern of posters calling for all types of shit to be banned or censored or boycotted. Youtube, Facebook, ABC, etc. I think a lot of this resentment and anger stems from the election and its aftermath. Some of it is sore loser shit, but overall I think people are still shocked and angered by the (surprising) results. They keep throwing around this idea that we can't normalize Trump...but that went out the door on January 20th, 2017. Trump is the president of the United States, brehs. While unpopular, he still has a very large segment of the country that supports him. And it is not shocking or surprising that multiple corporations have decided to advertise or cater to those people.

I've seen some posts of people pissed that while Laura Ingrahm has lost sponsors, no sponsors have pulled from ABC/Roseanne. Why is this surprising. Ingraham's show is moderately successful I guess, but advertisers cutting bait isn't surprising given that there isn't much of a benefit to sticking with her right now. I've seen posters accurately point on this is a case of the market deciding...but then again, so is the Roseanne situation. Her show is very popular. It's appealing to a large portion of the company who doesn't give a flying fuck about her tweet. And advertisers aren't going to allow a loud minority that doesn't even watch the show to interfere.


I lived through the Bush era. I know what it's like to be the laughing stock, be out-numbered, etc. But these fucking distinguished mentally-challenged fellows don't even realize that's not the case at all today


Hillary won the popular vote, "liberal shit" dominates a large portion of popular media/culture, companies spend way more time virtue signalling to us than to Trump supporters, etc etc. Sp why are people mad and constantly emitting an overwhelming sense of grief and hopelessness? Man the fuck up and stop embarrassing me.

2. They were largely this way before the election, but the media consumption cycle post-election is probably accelerating their behavior.
3. Lack of self-awareness and having nothing to lose for behaving this way. They can call everyone nazis because they don't have to live life with people of different views.
4. Fuck David Hogg and that whole business. Something is really fucked up when major corps are letting a teenager influence business decisions.
5. We used to call this sort of thing racketeering.

Roseanne needs a pedantic ERA-esque dungeon master to move in next door and drop a bunch of “well ACKSHUALLY” lines to further rile up the nutjobs.

[Phoenix Dark]

I haven't been banned or warned today. I've just participated or glanced at multiple threads today that express a demand for "something to be done" about differing views.

Rosanne is a dumbass...but she's also a Jew. You'd think calling a Jew a Nazi would be very high on the "nope" scale but I guess not.

In terms of Hogg and the kids...I'm not impressed by them, and I'm on the record arguing this movement won't result in anything changing. But seeing grown adults attempt to denigrate these kids has been pathetic. If you want to disagree with them go ahead, it wouldn't be hard to take them on intellectually. Instead, multiple conservatives have called them Nazis or fascists and all types of other shit.


I don't think Ingram did anything out of bounds. Compared to most of the shit coming from far right commentators, her tweet was pretty damn stale.

So just a quick question for LionPride, why do you constantly ooze vanity in an online forum with your race being the only factor that allows you to do so? You do know sooner or later you'll have to interact with a real society that won't put up with your shit, right?

What you mean by the vanity thing?

I meant that obviously you enjoy the semblance of a celebrity status in the inner circles of RE (now) and GAF (before). You might think you're just cracking a laugh, but we're talking about a forum that has meltdowns over specks of dust, and you contribute to those "continuously and egregiously offended" kind of conversations. You come here and show you have some chill. Cool, man. But when given leniency, you're not as levelheaded as you think you are. I mean it in a positive way, I hope you don't consider RE ...picturesque opinions and the method of expressing them what you should do irl. Because it won't end well. Right now, you're under the same umbrella that lets streamers be awkward and succeed: the internet and a group supporting your antics.

[HaughtyFrank]

What's hilarious is that Roseanne actually introduced a genderfluid character. So this show is even taking some steps towards the RE crowd and probably poses a good opportunity to introduce it's conservative audience to stuff like that but they rather lose their minds over her being a Trump supporter.

Hell they couldn't handle The Jeffersons.

I first noticed this wave a few years ago with the "problematic fave" thing. What does it matter if your favorite IMAGINARY fictional character agrees with your political or social views? I don't read fiction to agree with characters like it's a fucking political debate. You know who is a compelling, fascinating character? The Judge, from Blood Meridian. He's a psychopath...but it's not like I'm trying to vote for him for president.

If I can bring up nerd shit right quick... 

Victarion Greyjoy is one of my favorite characters in ASOIAF. He kills his wife after she gets raped by his brother, and burns a ship of gay male prostitutes because he doesn't fuck with gay shit. He's about as stupid and "problematic" as you can get. But his views are not portrayed as just or right - although he certainly views himself that way. He's a fictional character...

Money talks.

I think it’s completely fair to go after Laura Ingraham’s career because you don’t like her ass. Roseanne too if you can manage it.

Conservatives don’t like it because they know they’re a smaller group on the wrong side of the demographic curve, and can’t wield their collective power in the same way. But if they could, fine.

There is literally nothing wrong with a bunch of consumers going to a company and saying “hey, I’m not buying any of your shit until you stop doing X”. It’s the company’s choice on what to do next.

In a scale of 1 to Alex Jones, Ingraham’s comment wasn’t all that bad, but going after a minor that survived a school shooting like 3 weeks ago for some petty shit like “which college they got into” is low as hell. She knows what she’s doing, and she fucked with fire  and burned herself.

If that results in her moving from fox to AM radio, she has no one to blame but herself.

I'm confused on multiple fronts here. First off, boycotting media personalities over their comments is not new. Rush Limbaugh has been dealing with this for awhile for instance, mainly due to incendiary comments. On the flip side, conservatives have called for boycotts of all types of television shows and awards shows.

In terms of the kids...no one is saying you can't disagree or challenge these kids. In fact, both Rich Lowry and David French have written pieces critical of the kids that make good points. No one is calling for them to be fired. Surely you can differentiate between adults having a constructive debate and...calling shooting victims names, threatening them, comparing them to Nazis, etc. I'm gonna assume you understand why those things are...not a good look to advertisers, for instance.

Again, I don't think Ingram crossed a major line. Her tweet was moreso in line with the narrative we're seeing that these are potty mouth kids who are out of control. She said he was whining about colleges...meh. Dick move on her part, but I'm not sure why Johnson & Johnson decided that was too much.

I very much do not enjoy it

In fact I hate it, I hate people forum wide, or at least OT knowing who I am. People I don't interact with. I would like to think I'm relatively level headed, I get frustrated easily when discussing things I care about. Which tends to be racism, music, and sports.

I know how to interact with people in real life, that's never been an issue. Hell, I worked with a non-profit and they always had me speak and shit because I'm a well spoken black young man who is good at convincing people to do things.

Back to the celebrity thing, yeah....it's fucking weird, like...nah it's not for me. Never has been, never will be.

Y'all can't help but keep my name outta y'alls mouths, can you

I'm late to this, but people keep calling you out for being an ass about racial shit here. People on ERA call you out for being an ass about racial shit and starting problems. People I know in ERA friendly discords say "the site is alright, but if somebody like Lionpride is around I just don't post." A lot of people find what you do on the site and how the mods protect to be pretty whack.

I get you're trying to act cool here, but maybe when you're on ERA you're making an ass out of yourself more often than not. I can't hold that too against you though; 18 year olds have a tendency to be asses in general. Still, maybe you should chill out and think on why so many people, even some p reasonable ones, don't like how you act over there.

Fucking boycotts. I grew up in LA and have never been to Universal Studios because we boycotted the place throughout my childhood years due to their 1988 film The Last Temptation of Christ. We half-assed a boycott of Disney in the 90s because they were too "pro-gay", although that got dropped pretty quick because their stuff was too good not to fuck with. Conservatives have been playing this garbage game for decades.

Yeah, I'll gladly deal with over-sensitive liberals not wanting to watch Roseanne because it espouses positive-Trump views over the conservatives that like to, for instance, mandate that my state's science text books eliminate mentioning anthropogenic climate change or encouraging intelligent design to be treated not as just science, but co-equal theories on human creation. Try and heavily propagandize history textbooks to reflect a whitewashed pro-conservative false narrative of events and will gladly rationalize the most draconian sets of laws they can to drag their feet and stall social progress.

And honestly, fuck Ingrahm, and fuck people that want to try and laughably pearl clutch as if the societal problem is the slippery slope of shaming advertisers on a propaganda network into not supporting her tripe, and not, you know, the propaganda network that is able to claim so many mainstream advertisers on their most disgusting shows.

Nah, Fox News has been this way since it's inception. Glenn Beck Anyone? Madrassa-Gate? Grey Poupon-gate? Birtherism? The Iraq War? Scooter Libby? Bill Clinton conspiracies? Their prime-time coverage has been partisan propaganda and their actual news, with the exception of pretty much two hosts, has just been a more subtle version of it. A better designed RT. Which is exactly as Aisles envisioned it going back to the released papers from his brainstorming sessions in the Nixon White House.

There was all this talk that after Aisles died the Murdoch boys would reform it, but it's worse than ever thanks to Hannity being the new Glenn Beck, the complete erosion of their non Shep Smith/Wallace news department into even more heavy peddling the same conspiracies as the big swingers(Uranium One, Seth Rich etc.) and the complete transition into the unapologetic pro-Trump network. Including promoting and priming the pump for blatant abuses of power.

The idea that America is on some slippery slope because every now and then activists knock cracks into the wall that keeps this nonsense propped up is ridiculous. Nothing these people have done compares to the damage Fox News(and its sibling style outlets that most conservatives exclusively consume for their news diets and to inform their political decision-making ) has done and is doing.

[Nola]

The thing that's really going to bake your noodle is that Roger Ailes was also involved in the creation of MSNBC.

Sort of, but not really though. It's been a while since reading about all of it, but Aisles left America's Talking Network to found Fox News, which  became very in line with the idealized political weaponry the TV medium offered, that he began to envision decades earlier. NBC went on to partner with Microsoft to create MSNBC. It would be some time until MSNBC adopted the low cost structural format Fox News got rich off that CNN also eventually adapted, and and even longer til they started to adapt a fairly full throttled prime-time liberal editorial slant and a more moderate day-time one as well.
