Mike Prysner at AIPAC
We’ve talked about Mike Prysner several times since late 2009 when we got his military records. He founded ANSWER’s military wing, March Forward, when the Iraq Veterans Against the War weren’t radical (read that: socialist) enough for his tastes. He ran for congress as a candidate for the Party for Socialism and Liberty. Just last year, his former room mate, Kevin Baker, wrote about life with Prysner. Yesterday, he was at AIPAC with his Code Pink buddies protesting Donald Trump;
Of course, the protesters were doing what they do best, provoking peaceful folks. There’s a video at Townhall wherein, the creatures attacked folks peacefully attending the conference. You can see him in the video at Townhall trying to assault the AIPAC attendees and being stopped by the police from that endeavor. Of course, Prysner turns that around and says that he was attacked;
If he’s a journalist, I’m a media mogul. Prysner is an ANSWER provocateur, and he wishes that he’d been attacked. He’s also been involved with the Occupy Wall Street folks. He did serve in Iraq, but his tales of the horror that he witnessed are in doubt, because it’s unlikely that he ever left the wire.

Well, Jonn, you ARE a media mogul and pissner just wishes he could live up to your standards.
This is for DollarSign. I don’t give a shit that this guy is a Veteran, either. He’s a POS and doesn’t get a pass. He can say what he likes. He can do what he likes. He’s still an asshole. In fact, because he’s a Veteran and uses that to ingratiate himself with others while engaging in asinine behavior, he’s more of an asshole than the non-Veterans who conduct themselves similarly.
That^^^^

Prysner’s a pussy. He is what they call a “crybully” i.e. talk tough and threaten and then when confronted, starts crying like a bitch and running his suck to the media.
He’s like that nasty little Chihuahua on your neighbor ladies porch. All snarl and aggression until you take a step toward it, when it runs and hides behind mama.
^^^ BINGO!!^^^
This f@ckwit reminds me of another f@ckwit that’s been discussed here in the past. That said, I’d like to see this guy and Adam Kokesh go at it a few rounds…
You want to watch a slap-fight? Because I don’t think those two are capable of much more than that.
The two came to blows. You can complete the thought…
Is that before or after they dork each other in the squeak hole?
(Now that you mention it, UpNorth, probably not such a good idea).
How do you watch a fight where you want to see both participants lose?
Same way I do twice each year when the Ravens play the Steelers – root for the Sweet Meteor of Death:

I was thinking more Horshack with a haircut. But you might be right.
Hay look! They can all count to potato!
One of the things taught in j-school back when the craft had arguably higher standards was that it was a very bad thing for a reporter to get caught up in a story at a personal level. Editors would see such a thing as in conflict with objectivity, and hand the story over to someone else even after the original reporter might have spent weeks developing it.
If Prysner was a real journalist, he would know this. Calling yourself a journalist doesn’t make it so when you’re actually just another nitwit with an agenda.
Maybe but that was before Hunter Thompson’s “Gonzo Journalism”, Woodward and Bernstein, and the rise of the “Celebrity journalist” who was as important (or more important) than the story he/she covered.
Martinjmpr, actually the celebrity journalist phenomenon goes back even further to at least Nellie Bly and Richard Harding Davis. The difference between what’s common now, and what was typical back then, is the difference between being an attention whore actively seeking fame as opposed to having fame granted to you because your work is remarkable.
One of the problems with celebrity journalism is that it also has a tendency to what in the trade is called “bigfoot” a story. The media circus shows up in town, and the dynamic of a story changes in an artificial way it wouldn’t have otherwise. Ferguson, Missouri is one example, the Malheur standoff is another.
Perry. Beyond the police blotter or accident reporting, I can’t think of any instance in recent years in which a reporter met the standard you describe. I know that you take pride in your profession but, nowadays, one is hard pressed to find impartial news pieces. Everyone is an editorialist with an agenda, it seems.
2/17 Air Cav, the craft of journalism itself is currently in the middle of a big fight about this, and it’s becoming more clear over time that those leading the charge for advocacy journalism, and personal brand building, are charlatans and fools.
My own view is that there is nothing special about the craft, a reasonably competent plumber probably provides at least an equivalent level of public good, at least in the short term. On the other hand, journalism tends to be the bricks and mortar to build a public record which needs to be accurate because, in the words of Santayana, if we can’t learn from history we’re doomed to repeat it.
For those in the military with unequivocal disdain for the craft, I would also simply ask:
How would we know of the exploits of Odysseus without the efforts of blind Homer?
What is that thing in red in the first picture protesting? Does it want more food stamps? Looks as if she got enough.
OK, kiddies, everyone back to mommy’s basement.
Can’t wait for the video of him getting his ass kicked for starting a fight. Trump protestors are bout it bout it. Eat shit, hippy scumfucks.
Should read Trump supporters, not Trump protestors.
Hahaha haha I remember that photo now!That one with the little red troll in the Guy Fawkes mask!
Hehehe I needed a giggle today. I think everyone might.
