Media/Journalism Cringe Megathread - Hot off the Presses

Trump's problem: There is a big story which is totally damaging to Joe Biden which is being censored and blacked out by big social media and big media companies.

Trump's action: He tweets out a post sharing a satirical 'news story' about big tech censorship of him from the Babylon Bee and makes out that he believes it's true.

Media reaction: They pounce on the chance to mock Trump and in doing so they share the initial tweet, the Babylon Bee story and share a link to the Hunter Biden story...

Yes very stupid, Totally not a possible 4D chess moment or anything 😉
 
This deranged nonsense sounds like Hitler ranting about jews.

Keith Olberman is still alive? The guy disappeared from view after Trumps election drove him insane and I just figured he'd shrivelled up and either been committed or checked his own ticket by now. It was actually kind of sad to watch his mental collapse. I'm glad to see that he's still physically healthy at least. 😄

Michigan Militia fights to take back domestic terrorism industry from foreigners

YPSILANTI, Mich. — In a world becoming more interconnected every day, militia groups across the US are fighting to reclaim an industry they view as being increasingly dominated by foreigners — Domestic Terrorism. One such militia based out of Michigan, calling themselves the Wolverine Watchmen...

This is honestly a major miss on Duffelblog's part. The main "joke" falls flat because people have heard nothing but hyperventilating about "white supremacist terrorists" from the media and attack dog groups like the SPLC. IE:
They lament that more recent attacks and mass shootings are consistently classified as one-off events and struggle to be defined as terrorism by the media.

Have you payed NO attention to how the media classified these attacks?
There's satire, and then there's writing down and publishing a rough draft with no critical thinking in between. What is this, The Onion?

See this, on the other hand? This shit is funny!

Hopefully enough care to win the election for President Trump... hopefully winning the popular vote also... or at least getting somewhere in the vicinity of 49% - 51.99% of the popular vote...


I may have just placed my bets on the US election. 😄

And sadly, no one who is voting Biden will care.

You underestimate semi-bubbled moderate Dem voters. Just a month ago I saw my grandmother say 'I don't want no democrats anymore' as she signed her absentee ballot, and this was directly in reaction to Dem handling of the riots.

How many such voters there are, I could not tell you, but they comprise at least a few percentage points of the electorate, and this will have an impact. Remember that the 'hard left' is only ~8% of the population, not ~40%. Don't let the 'sampling bias' of online interaction and the people who make the news completely skew your perceptions.

Most of them won't even see it. Their media won't cover it.

If they do see it, all they will look at is a headline.

They'll see "Biden scandal" and then not look any further and move on.

This may help Trump by firing up his base, but Biden camp is going to vote Biden out of hatred for Trump. Biden will get a free pass for anything he does because orange man bad.

I truly hope you're right.
 
I don't think the Biden Corruption Scandal is going to necessarily change many Dem voters to voting FOR Trump but it doesn't have to, it just has to discourage them from voting for Biden who already has an enthusiasm problem. If they stay at home and simply go "a plague on both your houses!" then Trump wins.
