    This is not the time for despair. These are the punk rock times. We have been training all our lives for this and I for one am excited. Aww you make me sad. Edgelords really have nowhere to go anymore. These times are not for you.

    But none of that explains anything about how Oklahoma you have to be to name your kid “Markwayne.” Did Donny Lee sound too snobby? I’m disappointed. I was expecting to hear the both sides angle here.

    He should just go ahead and appoint his horse to Consul.

    The president can clear whoever they want. That simple.

    Post a pic that makes you say “holy shit!”

    I understand your point, but I think you've got the Decade wrong. 2024 was our 1968, when the hippies and people who cared about social justice began to write off areas of the country they didn't care about and retreated to safe spaces like Austin and San Fransisco and LA, and a recent period of chaos ushered in a long,dark period of moral and sociocultural decline.

    No, not only, although that probably helps him considerably. They also cancel ad buys from opposition, frame his opponents and issues in terms his team defines, forces his opponents to react to whatever OUTRAGEOUS and "THIS IS NOT NORMAL" thing he does and says, and give him literally billions of dollars worth of earned media his opponents don't get. What did I say when people were making fun of the McDonald's stunt? I said "he's good at this." Agreed, I’m tired of batting these two around.

    They don't. That's why Trump called it an asset. That's why they talk about it all the time and use it so effectively. You aren't the audience for it. The media that is actually mainstream is for you. The legacy media reaches a legacy audience.

    So you concede the newsrooms and journalists aren't independent AND you concede that business is better if Trump wins AND you concede that the ownership are making editorial decisions with Republicans in mind. My friend, much like citizenship, journalism is not an S&M kink. The people with gags on aren't in control. You have lost this argument and we can go back to the main topic of the thread now.

    They have independent control? First, that's a naive and dated idea in general. To the exent they were ever independent (they weren't, that was always a polite fiction) they haven't been in a couple of decades. That polite fiction has been mostly abandoned. Second and more importantly however, both the post and the LA Times spiked their endorsement of Harris because their owners demanded it. I'm sure you are aware of that and I'm throwing you into the briar patch as you wish to see how you plan to get out.

    Me too. I don't watch reality TV but my wife does and we both watch docs. Because my progressive friends know I own a lot of guns I've gotten maybe a dozen calls and texts in the last 5 days about getting some pointers about what they should/could buy and own.

    First of all, I'm not a Democrat. I never considered myself a particularly strong Democrat, and have not identified as a Democrat in any way since early 2016. Severing my relationship, which was tenuous to begin with, was the price of my vote for Hillary Clinton. Second, I'm some minuscule portion of "The people who work at Legacy Media" contributed some small part of their insignificant wages to Democrats or align to Democratic candidates in some way. You think that's meaningful to whether the Legacy media is under the control of the Republican messaging apparatus? You think some talking head or food columnist or assignments editor is in a position to put their thumb on the scale of elections? Come on man. I thought you got clean.

    This isn’t complicated. Republican have control of: - Mainstream media - Legacy media - New media - Old media

    This bizarre image of a man dressed as an 1890's frontier cowboy stealing a child's doll in the upper Midwest of the mid-1930s has been seen 19.6 Million times, which is about 20-25X the readership of the NYT opinion section.

    5D chess. He's brilliant at the use and control of media. I've never said anything else and people who do are really dumb.

    You're trying to compare one guy's account with the breadth of the network? Wouldn't it be better to compare the breadth and influence of Twitter and CNN? I don't think anybody would argue CNN is more influential.
  23. Bozo_Casanova
    Oh gosh, look like somebody agrees with me. @Incredulity, this one is for you:
  24. Bozo_Casanova
    The person/people calling themself "Gunther Eagleman" have 30% more followers on Twitter than Brian Stelter of CNN, and nearly four times as many followers as the Times top columnist, David Brooks. He also has about 35% more followers than Kristen Welker, host of Meet The Press. Try again?

    It's a technique of control through disorientation, to force the media into a state of constant reaction and seeking comment. Here's one example. Nope, I understood what you meant, although it's extremely odd that you selected those three and not Newspapers, Local news, Fox, and CNN, but I'm fine with "legacy media." Republicans financially, editorially and narratively control legacy media, which is what you actually mean when you say "mainstream." Oh, and the rest of us are supposed to also say "mainstream" when we mean "legacy", otherwise we are the ones being disingenuous.
