Unfortunately she's paid to flap it, and what we all need is another 33-year-old art history major telling people what's what about politics. Another winner, CNN. Why don't you die?
I hate S. E. Cupp too, but I really don't understand all of the CNN hate. At least they actually do present both sides as opposed to just pretending to do that (I'm looking at you Fox news). I don't see what the problem with Erin Burnett and Anderson Cooper would be. No, I wouldn't call them purely objective, but they are a hell of a lot better at their jobs than most other pundits.
Based on an internet suggestion, I bought an orange cream slush from Sonic and added vodka. A Sonic screwdriver! Spoiler
Both sides? Which two are those? The one nobody cares about and the one that nobody really cares about? CNN has passed its expiration date. Fox News isn't really fair and balanced, as you point out, but they at least are entertaining while they pander to a specific demographic. CNN has lost credibility to act like they are some high brow news truther, and can't figure out exactly what their identify is. It's not just "hate" like their competition slinging insults, it's factual major loss of ratings.
Ok, that kind of sounds like you're proving my point. You're basically admitting they are more fair and balanced than other networks. What do you mean by the side nobody cares about vs the side nobody really cares about? By and large they talk about the same shit the other networks do so if it's the side nobody cares about then you're basically talking about the side of every major news story. I'm aware they've lost ratings, but that doesn't mean they're inferior. There's all kinds of garbage books and movies that top the selling list. It doesn't mean they're the best. Also, I think they lost ratings for the exact reason that I prefer CNN. Let's face it: most people tune into political news to listen to someone confirm their already predetermined biases. I would wager that's why far left and far right networks are outperforming them, and that's why fox news is 'the most trusted' network in America. They tell people what they already wanted to hear instead of giving them something to think about. That being said, there's some people on CNN I really don't like. Not much of a Piers Morgan fan, or S. E. Cupp like I already mentioned.
Piers lost his job because he's an antagonistic prick and a despicable journalist. And S.E. Cupp Spoiler is just eye candy to me. I don't care what she says.
CNN is sexually confused and prefers to jingle their keys at you. Fox releases straight- up lies and veiled racism. MSNBC is a constant woodpecker's beak of noisy, pretentious pseudo-know-it-alls. They. All. Suck. The so called "Big Three" have officially jumped the shark and have no redeeming qualities. Just don't watch them.
I mean even with the couple of dozen, at most, regular/semi regular posters here this is still by far the most decent message board I frequent. For the love of god if we love she girl the last bumped WDT will go on forever. While far from as active as others it's still better in a, not want to smash my computer on the ground, sort of way because of self regulation. As far as intelligent discourse Ive found few better. Shit the only other message board I really frequent is a big gun message board , the sheer lunacy and religious nuts posting there have almost turned me off to the concept of message boards for general discussions.
I find the Message Board low in quantity but not quality. People on here are NOT shouty anti-intellectuals that fall for fake stories and conspiracy theories. And 90% of posts have a funny punch line. There's no emoticons, meme floods, douchey signatures or lazy abbreviations. There's just the right amount of sociopathic cruelty towards morons that would make the fags on Reddit wave their Cheetos-stained finger at you because they're pussies and I'm glad braggart, know-nothing tools like Politik switched to them. People on here are generally smart and very, very quick. It's not perfect but I'm yet to find another place with that right amount of combination.
So, is there another message board out there for us should this place fail? I guess I'm tired of posts like yours, I want somewhere I don't need to listen to this anymore.
Speaking of which, there is an idiot kid at my work who is HUGE into conspiracy theories. I generally poke fun at him since I listen to enough Joe Rogan podcast to know the usual idiocy. We had a new girl start, probably 20-21. Reminds me of Faye Reagan as far as looks go. Pretty hot if you're into day walkers, which I am and would totally fuck this girl if it weren't for my last foray into girls at work plus the proceeding story. Well we're on break and he started in again on how the Illuminati created the dollar bill and the Rothchilds are putting fluoride in the drinking water(seriously these are his big ones). The girl, who was on her first day, was being quiet and shy until then but pipped up , "Yeah that stuff scares me." I turned to her like, "uh, what?" "Yeah when I google that stuff it really scares me whats out there." "You believe that shit?" "It's scary."
If she is that susceptible to believing any information that comes her way, you should really try to convince her the antidote to fluoride is found in your dad bags.
I don't know. This is one of very few sites I visit at all. I know the ones I looked like Reddit, OffTopic, Digg etc. were sweaty taint. There's probably hidden. "Indie" boards like this one out there, but like this one it 's probably tricky to find.
Absolutely. The mouth-breathing is kept to a minimum here, which is nice. At the same time though, there seems to be a lot of living in the past....RMMB-style. Nothing ground breaking. Are message boards dying? My apologies. This is complaining, unfortunately, I cannot devote myself more to helping the cause but it just feels as though we are retreading retreads.
It is unreal on the less-moderated ones. If you want some fun, start a thread saying OBAMA IS THE BEST on 24hourcampfire.com and just watch what happens. and the grammer, I luv readin shit grammer online.
Jesus Christ not this shit again....Incidentally, I had no idea the registration was closed. Hmm. I really couldn't care less if there were more people here or not. If more people were to show up, great(I guess, for all we know it could be a bunch of Nitwits). If not, I get enough entertainment out of here as it is(obviously, otherwise I wouldn't be here right now).
One of my major pet peeves of the internet in general is bad grammar...I'm SO glad that is one of the ironclad rules here.
Yeah we do this conversation about once a month is seems. It's a damn shame new membership is closed and the only mods with the power or ability to change that have fallen off the face of the earth. But if anyone has thread ideas post them up in the thread suggestion thread or we can just change the topic here to something a little lighter when this conversation comes around.... If you haven't heard of Matthew Bracken's work and "don't feel like you'd be damned if it didn't seem like his shit is prophecies coming to life" you aint seen nothing yet. Some of the shit they've convinced themselves of is nuts.
