Scott Jennings on CNN right now saying this is on Dems for saying Trump will end democracy on the US. And Bash and Blitzer are like, yes, we have to tamp down the rhetoric on both sides. Absolute marks. Jesus Christ.

The GOP is going all in on "if you call Trump a fascist you're endorsing and causing political violence" and these feckless fucks in the media are just furrowing their brows with performative concern and going along with it. Jfc

Being called out by a paid Republican campaign flack for throwing rhetorical pipe bombs is about as gallingly unserious as being slut-shamed by a pimp at an orgy.

I hate the entire corporate media.

Canadians figured this out a while ago. Most corporate media is Republican or far right owned. In fact, about 90% . . For the most part, when there are no elections, they will add in some unbiased commentary During elections, they do a hard lean to the right.

Just remind them about Project 2025, since that is the source of the info everyone is basing their opinion on. If the shoe fits, that’s their problem.

Explainer: There's exactly one standard in America. If Dems call out Trump for his fascism, it's incitement. If Republicans demand violence, it's free speech.

It makes me so mad how much Wolf Blitzer sucks despite his name being "Wolf Blitzer"

When I was on Jeopardy, we asked the staff who on Celebrity Jeopardy surprised them the most and they said Kareem Abdul Jabar was by far the coolest and smartest celebrity they had and that Wolf Blitzer was mindnumbingly dumber than bricks and "it's clear all he does he just reads things he's given"

Damn right Kareem is the coolest. Tell your old man to drag Walton and Lanier up and down the court for 48 minutes!

The crew had seen so many people in their time there but were so in awe of him, you could tell it was genuine. And my dad is a pretty low key guy but has basically said I should be jealous that he grew up watching him play. Dude was just dripping coolness and ability, it's insane

I just made the last round of interviews a year ago. I have about 6 more months to wait around and hope they call before i have to try again.

My partner and I were at a Michelin starred restaurant in DC one night. We had booked the reservation months in advance. In the middle of our meal, Wolf Blitzer walked with with a party of four and tried to get a seat without having a reservation. Restaurant turned him away

also very cool you were on Jeopardy! Would you like a @learnedleague.bsky.social invite?

Dick Wolf at least did something cool with his name.
Avatar
He has done some good stuff, but he has also glorified law enforcement more than anyone in recent memory. But I do agree with him doing some pretty cool things.
Avatar
I don’t think he’s glorified law enforcement, he’s just saying “wouldn’t it be cool if you called the police and Mariska Hargitay, Richard Belzer and Ice T showed up”
Avatar
law and order is total fiction that paints defense attorneys as actively evil, oversight as also assisting the evil criminals, and restrictions on cop power to be the worst thing it is literally quoted in state congresses for why they should take away more rights
Avatar
Oh no you haven’t been paying attention. Dick Wolf and the NBC copaganda love affair is REAL. They’re doing it on purpose and that many people still don’t think so means it’s working.
Avatar
Fucking NBC gave us Trump and Alec Baldwin’s horrible Trump impression, L&O isn’t even their worst crime against humanity

He is portraying the police as noble heroes and a lot of people see that and assume it is true. It can be nice to think it is true. But only for some people.
Avatar
It doesn't matter that much whether that's motivated by a conscious desire to produce propaganda or by just wanting to make something that feels nice to watch IMO.
Avatar
I mean, /he/ thinks he's glorified law enforcement and that was his goal, so. Like, he's literally said this in filmed interviews.

You're not a good troll, lol

Deadass, it would be cool if you called the police and Belzer showed up

Dick Armey is the coolest name, wasted on a doofus

Making copaganda isn't cool. You know what's cool? Being Kurt Russell's stunt double Dick Warlock!

If you're old enough to remember, at one point he was supposedly a "scud stud"

Yeah but tbf "Wolf Blitzer" could also be a Nazi villain name.
Avatar
Or just a screen name for a subreddit dedicated to making smoothies out of red meat?

It’s funny to me that as far back as 1991 SNL had him pegged as “loser dipshit trying desperately to look cool.”
