“Not the media” in “not a conspiracy”

| September 26, 2016

The Washington Post on Friday published this piece to tell it’s readers that there is “no media” conspiracy to control politics in this country. That it’s “lazy and unfair” of their consumers to claim such a thing.

The media

So what are the features on Memeorandum this morning?

The media2

CNN is busy providing smoke for the conspirators;

Marty Baron, the executive editor of The Washington Post, said the timing of the stories was a coincidence.

“We don’t coordinate coverage with anyone else,” Baron said.

Not according to HotAir which noticed that the Clinton campaign website sent out it’s talking points on Trump on Friday, the day before “the media” filed it’s stories;

The post, titled “Clinton Campaign: Trump Cannot Pass Debate Test If He Repeats These Debunked Lies,” goes on to document pages and pages of statements (19 pages in all) that have been deemed to be “lies” by biased outlets like PolitiFact and FactCheck.org.

It is clearly a road map for anyone looking to perpetuate the narrative that “Trump lies” and it’s a major issue that requires discussion and media attention right before Monday’s critical debate showdown.

As if the message wasn’t clear enough in the post, the Clinton campaign was sure to hammer the story assignments home by conducting a special conference call on the topic for members of the media.

[…]

Hillary posts pages of documented Trump lies” and holds a conference call with members of the media detailing the same theme and within 48 hours major publications print articles following along with Hillary’s prescribed narrative.

The New York Times, LA Times, Washington Post and Politico publishing the same story based on talking points from the Clinton campaign sure sounds like a conspiracy to me, media.

Cocksuckers.

It will be hilarious when Cankles, with deep vein thrombosis, trips on her custom podium and falls into Lester Holt’s lap.

That was extremely entertaining, thank you for the link!

Somebody needs to record that using Howard Cosell’s voice.

Thanks.

Yef

I can’t wait to see the witch fall on her face.

Also, all the Bushes are in my black list too, with McCain and Romney, due to that little thing about papa bush voting for the witch and none of the younger bushes fixing the record.

So, lets see how the polls lie tomorrow.

Dapandico

WaPo is correct, there is no media, only willing lapdogs.

A Proud Infidel®™

The mainstream mess media has been the dhimmirat party’s lapdog for at least since the early seventies. Who da-mudda-FUCK do they think they can fool?

“We are not parrots of the democrats!”

“SQUAAAAAWWWKKK!!!!”

Ceefour

Stuff it,MEDIA. You have lied so much to the American public that we believe NOTHING from you. Steve Wilson (Illustrated Press) must be rolling in his grave rite bout now.

Veritas Omnia Vincit

Politifact is anything but fact, mostly they rate opinions of Republicans and use their own opinions to determine it’s false…George Mason university released a study indicating just how biased Politifact is when assessing Republicans.

I’m not certain why anyone is surprised that the five or six groups that own all of the media might have more in common than not, and why as a consequence most news covers things like the lies promoted by BLM but you hear nothing about the standoff over the pipeline that may or may not end up poisoning the fresh water of thousands of Native Americans.

The news is anything but these days, it’s a corrupt wing of propaganda dishing out what their corporate masters dictate.

Skippy

Well ladies and gentlemen after reading over several thousands of docs from the DNC and many other docs I’m of the opinion that many democrates and republicans have been very naughty…
And yes the media is the lap-dogs of the left their is over 2000 pages of docs and e-mails to prove it
And they wonder why nobody reads for watches their crap ! ! GEEZE ! ! !

D

Please, please, please start using “its” instead of the contraction for “it is.”

I suppose I could say, “Get it right if you’re going to run a respected milblog, asshole.”

Mick

Oh yeah, now there’s a clever response to the owner of this site. Really bright. And very classy.

We’ll see how that works out for you.

In the meantime, since you’re the self-appointed El Supremo of Spelling and Grammar, could you please spellcheck ‘Banhammer’ for us?

Thanks!

Or you could throw Shinseki’s comment in his face:

“Who knew an Infantryman could write?”

11B-mailclerk

Wow. Having managed to get your foot about halfway in your mouth, you then went and kicked at it with the other foot, getting -both- all the way in.

Brilliant!

A Proud Infidel®™

Their, they’re, there, it’s all good.

Mick

Two, to, too?

We’d, weed?

Would, wood?

He’d, heed, heid (that’s Scottish for ‘head’)?

Eyed, I’d?

Are British spellings also particularly annoying, such as ‘colour’, ‘flavour’, or ‘neighbour’?

Or what about the use of the word ‘whilst’? Is it ever really appropriate?

Mick

I neglected to add:

You’re, your, yore.

You forgot “yer”.

If Lars had a son or sun or whatever….

OWB

“It’s” is not exclusively a contraction. Ya might wanna review whatever English language primer you use to refresh your memory on such things.

Just so you know, there are plenty of folks around here for whom English is not only a first language but one in which they were well schooled. If you insist upon showing your ass about the use of the language, your “A” game seems insufficient to do much other than show your lack of sufficiency.

D

You’re saying “it’s” isn’t exclusively a contraction for “it is” or “it has?” News to me, but I’m willing to learn.

Ex-PH2

You can’t read plain English, can you, D?
Don’t pretend to be superior when you intentionally misinterpret what someone said.

D

How else is what OWB wrote supposed to be interpreted? I basically repeated what he wrote.

Jethro

Like the man said, “quit being a whiney bitch”.

D

Fuck off back to Beverly Hills, Jethro.

Go Mizzou

Problem is being a left-wing, anti-gun wing nut journalist in the Midwest these days is dangerous to your employment:

Laid off at @KCStar after almost 37 years here.

This wacko had this to say about the Orlando shooting.

Is anyone else avoiding the debate tonight like the plague?

Veritas Omnia Vincit

Well, some of us aren’t ignoring it but we’re not exactly taking it seriously either….

I’m thinking some nacho style appetizers, some adult beverages and a simple requirement depending on which of these buffoons one likes…when Hillary coughs or says “UH” you drink, when Trump says “great” or “really” (as in really, really, big wall or really, really, great economy) you drink….I suspect none of my guests will be allowed to drive home after the first 40 minutes….

The Al

You think they’ll make it forty minutes? I assumed it would only take a minute or two of the debate to cause alcohol poisoning.

LC

Or simply severe depression. I can’t believe it comes down to these two for President of the United States of America. God help us all!

Jay

Still trying to figure out how we’ve fallen from Washington vs Adams to these two…

Jethro

If God had meant us to vote he would have given us candidates.

The Al

As I said on a different discussion board: I would rather rub ground glass in my eyes followed by a hearty dousing in gasoline followed immediately by lighting myself on fire then watch that shit show

Mick

Well, rather than the debate, I’ve got some fresh paint that I’ll be watching as it dries, interspersed with periods of going outside to watch the weeds as they grow through the cracks in the street.

A Proud Infidel®™

Part of me actually wants to watch it while the rest of me would rather stick a hot fork in my eye after wallowing in broken glass followed up
by a rinse in rubbing alcohol and then crawling naked through poison ivy. I’d say everyone take a drink after every time Hildabeast Cankles lies and they’d all be passed out after the first thirty minutes.

nbcguy54ACTUAL

I’m watching for history’s sake. I want to be able to say that I saw it on live TV when Hildebeast had a complete medical and mental breakdown. ..

2/17 Air Cav

I’m going to tune in by radio, with the sound off. Clinton may forget to shave and we all know what happened to Nixon.

OWB

Watching it on C-Span. I prefer skipping all the media hype – just watch the debate. Will turn it off as soon as it’s over.

2/17 Air Cav

It’s on now, I understand, but I’m watching MNF and recording The Voice for my wife. Let us know if Twitchy falls off the step behind her podium or if one eye hoes east and the other west. That’s the only value in the debate. We already know what sort of character she has and what sort of decision maker she is. As for Trump, the presidency is his by default.

Ex-PH2

I decided to not watch because I knew ahead of time that it will be dissected ad nauseum for hours and probably days until the next one rolls around.

I’m sure we’ll get highlights, but I did get a hint that Lester Holt (moderator) may have been in over his head. If that’s so, then why was someone from a university debate team NOT called in to be the moderator? I know Boston U and Harvard both have debate teams, probably Stanford, Rutgers, UMass, as well – basically all the Ivy League schools. My school had a debate team.
Is the next debate going to be another fluster cluck, something that demonstrates the poor level of comprehension in the moderator?

A Proud Infidel®™

I WAtched it and made a BEt with myself that I’D take a dzhrink every time HITLery lied and Infidel Manor Household 6®™ made me CEASE AND DESIST because I went through a shizxpack in the forzht 15 minutesh that no kount the shotz!!!

*BUUUUURRRRRRP!*

It’s like Journolist never existed. They either think that because they say it, it must be true or that we’re too stupid to remember.

Silentium Est Aureum

They’re betting on number two.

And they’re probably right.

It’s amazing how much mileage the Clinton campaign is trying to get, claiming Trump is a “birther”, when 1–Obama isn’t running for shit, 2–it was the Clinton campaign in 2008 that started that whole shitshow, but don’t expect the media to include that little tidbit.

2/17 Air Cav

3 hrs later, I agree with you. Ouch.

2/17 Air Cav

Wait! The grammar rule is to write out the number using letters when it is (see what I did there?) fewer than 10. -5 for me. Wait! Why didn’t the teacher write
-Five?

Roger in Republic

Sorry, but I will be in church tonight. You see, I worship at the Church Of Monday Nite Football, and attendance is mandatory.
I saw on Fox this Am that 82 percent of Americans have made their voting decision so the debate is aimed at only the remaining 18 percent who will most probably not vote at all. Let the spin begin.

Silentium Est Aureum

Problem is, this election will be decided by 3-4 percent, tops.

Maybe less.

Bill (a NIMBY/Banana)

Medium: not rare and never well done.

Green Thumb

Hillary could not even show up for the debate, lets say stuck in traffic, and most if not all media outlets will declare her the winner.

2/17 Air Cav

No media conspiracy? JournoList. Remember JournoList? Now there’s Gamechanger salon. Like South Street, it’s where all the hippies meet.

Martinjmpr

Translation of the above article:

“Dear Peons: Please stop interrupting us when we’re telling you what to think.”

A Proud Infidel®™

IMHO the attitude of the mainstream mess media has been “Here’s what we see fit to tell you filthy peasants and how you should think about it. *SNEEEEEER*”.

D

On another note, Trump is crushing her in the debate so far. It’s a sight to behold.

Skippy

Before our girls lost it. Because it’s bed time he was laying on good

valerie

The Washington Post has published at least two Ombudsmen columns after Presidential elections acknowledging that they spike stories unfavorable to Democrats.

F**king liars. They are in a conspiracy with the DNC.

Co-ordination with favored media
http://hotair.com/archives/2016/09/26/trump-lies-articles-come-weekend-clinton-campaign-course/

And so, after THIS election, if the Democratic candidate wins, they will admit that they helped by co-ordination and by spiking stories unfavorable to her.

Shame on the Washington Post.

Ex-PH2

Yeah… total coincidence.

It’s hard being a sore loser, isn’t it?

valerie

The circulation numbers and the layoffs at the Washington Post and the New York Times over the last ten years tell the whole story.

Bernie Hackett

Is it just me, or was Lester Holt in Shrillerys pocket? Just love that nonjudicial even handed approach.Megan Kelly having her eyebrows waxed?
“But that was ruled unconstitutional” Sneer!I guess he showed us. Lester, snowflake, you’re a moderator, not the oracle of Delphi.
My daughter said her majesty was so smug looking, she wanted to smack her. I thought that’s how she usually looked, but I agree with the corrective action proposed.

DefendUSA

Funny, autocorrect does that. One usage is fucked up and the other one is perfect. Weird that people have to go there to seem like they are smarter than someone else. Meh. Color me unimpressed.

It’s called gaslighting.
