Joe Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 4 minutes ago, Signifyin(g)Monkey said: I didn’t mean that; I was thinking more along the lines of it being one media outlet that starts buying into a certain narrative, which gets other outlets to follow. The media largely exhibits herd behavior; if, say, the NYT prints ‘story x’ covering ‘controversy y’, that gives cover for other outlets like WSJ to cover ‘controversy y’. I’d wager that’s one reason why all the decision desks called the election at the same time. I did *not* mean to imply that RCP somehow uniquely dictates what other outlets print, any more than the first person to rush for the exits in a burning theater has some unique telepathic power that commands everyone else to follow. Like, I know I’m being nuts, but my IQ hasn’t suddenly dropped to three. I don't think your IQ is three. Your need to always present the negative angle without much forethought lately is a tad infuriating, but I get it! They're not even part of the media narrative, though. They don't call states. Even their shitlord conservative owner was like "wtf Rudy?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, BBC, thank you. Also, I seriously thought for a split-second that Giuliani was doing a George Costanza routine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Bateman: [voiceover] I'm on the verge of tears by the time we arrive at Four Seasons Total Landscaping, since I'm positive we won't have a decent table. But we do, and relief washes over me in an awesome wave. To the red country and part of the blue country of Philadelphia, the last votes came gently, and they did not reach Four Seasons Total Landscaping. or maybe... Call me Rudy. Some years ago--never mind how long precisely--having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me, I thought I would travel a little and see Four Seasons Total Landscaping. It is a way I have of driving off credibility and regulating the media coverage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Person A says something. Jason sees something that he thinks contradicts that, so he posts it and references Person A's post. Jason repeats this 1000 times until Person A leaves. I'm sure Jason will find some other tweet later and go, "BUT I THOUGHT TRUMP COULDN'T STEAL THROUGH TWITTER!" Stop hyping up everything he does. He's a whiny bitch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're really dissing on this board's collective intelligence if you think showing what he's saying to add context to what the GOP is up to is equivalent to the media breathlessly hyping up his words without providing any context.

b_m_b_m_b_m Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 There is nothing wrong with being overly critical of his overt attempts to signal for a coup (this board, the public, and media aren't making a big enough deal of it tbh), but just posting his tweets isn't that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
