Goddamn, this is comedy gold. You could not make this stuff up.

 

I'm not tired of winning, Mr. President.

 

I know right, have you seen the meme of the CNN guy who threatened to DOX in an SS uniform? Funny stuff, did a bunch of CNN people get their personal info posted publically?

The Democratic Party is basically screwed on a national level until the entire stunningly incompetent leadership gets purged (since they're not going to give up their grip on power willingly) and replaced with new blood.

 

 

I've been saying this for years. Feinstein and Pelosi sound like senile old bitches every time they speak, hell Feinstein sounds like she getting alzheimer's. We must be paying for some very good healthcare for congress and the senate, I wonder what that costs us, bastards. 

 

Anyway, the republicans have the same problem with McCain and Graham. I really think politics will get better when all the Baby Boomers politicians on both sides die off.

Ill be fine with those two butt buddies Mccain and Graham leaving. Theyve seemed to just go harder and harder neocon as time passes. It seems to me at least that many Republican voters are generally aware that the party establishment is corporate money first. Hence the repudiation of establishment Republicans for awhile now. Democrats though? Might just need an entire new party. Who has time for the working class when youre making sure you have enough disabled trans black women in politics or w/e.

when drumpf shitposts so hard that cnn commits suicide

what a time to be alive

 

This is more of a challenge to /pol/ than it is to CNN.

 

By all appearances, what Andrew Kaczynski did was wrong and likely illegal.  The CNN legal team probably ordered extra booze this morning.

 

But trying to explain what they did that was wrong?  They threatened to dox a redditor over a meme that the president re-tweeted?  I count four idiotic-sounding techno-age neologisms in that sentence.  Try explaining the outrage to normies; unless you understand all that jargon, a detailed explanation is fairly abstruse.  Haven't news agencies been revealing the names and faces of news-worthy people for years, and withholding the same when they deemed it appropriate?  For someone who isn't up on net culture, this controversy will be difficult to understand, and when people don't understand things they usually don't dig deeper in order to understand them, they usually just resort to their default beliefs with some half-assed rationalization.  This event will tarnish the CNN brand, but relatively little.  Most people have already made up their mind, one way or another.  People are stupid, don't expect much from them.

 

Meanwhile, /pol/ has been called the fuck out.  A former Buzzfeed employee now shilling for CNN has attacked one of their own.  That demands blood.  They have demonstrated the firepower of their fully armed and operational autism by finding a flag in the middle of nowhere and by identifying an asshole in a mask with a bike lock.  There are high expectations of their willingness and ability to retaliate for these sorts of insults, and a lot of people are looking forward to a bloodbath (I certainly am).

 

But this is a trickier problem.  When Shia LaBeouf hid a flag to prevent it from getting vandalized, the win condition was obvious.  They needed to find the flag and vandalize it.  When some anonymous antifa thug hit a man with a bike lock, the win condition was obvious.  They needed to identify the man and ruin his life.

 

What exactly is /pol/ supposed to do to CNN to make them bleed?  Dox everyone who works there?  Hack their webpage?

 

CNN has carved out a reasonably secure niche as the news outlet for people who hate Trump and want to hear their own views re-affirmed in a facsimile of impartial investigation.  It's like fake celebrity porn; you know it's not really Betty White, but if it's close enough you can use your imagination and reach the desired emotional end goal.  Sure, they've long since thrown away their reputation as a world-bestriding colossus of the latest news, but what they're doing now basically works and has the potential to keep them afloat (in some diminished form) for many years.  How do you attack that?

Sperging at their advertisers seems to be a likely target.  From the brief bit that I checked /pol/ yesterday, that, dirt digging, and harassing the relevant CNN people seem to be the current angle of attack.  I'm also of the opinion that legal action isn't likely to yield anything meaningful.

 

Regardless, CNN can't be feeling very good when this is happening on top of all these veritas releases.  You've really got to wonder how many people they got in, just had another clip release yesterday.

This is why Trump is such an improvement. If he's corrupt and enriching corporate interests, it's just one company, and we know which one.

Honestly CNN kicked itself in it's own front hole pretty hard with the whole threatening to not only dox meme poster if he didn't apologize etc thing...

 

But where they really fucked up was with their bitchy sword of Damocles we reserve the right to fuck said poster at any time from now until forever bullshit!

 

That's essentially them taking sides in a way they can't take back, and i look forward to the day some group absolutely WRECKS a CNN field team and the world shrugs it's shoulders and gives no fucks!

 

In journalism you have one and only one shield that keeps you from being a legitimate target, and that is maintaining at least the thin veneer of not having chosen sides. Between this incident and everything else lately they've essentially thrown that away... 

 

Call me a conspiracy tard if you like but i have a hard time not seeing all this as something someone has made a decision to attempt to capitalize on... Likely at the cost of the lives of several CNN employees WHEN the inevitable incident occurs!

 

This is afterall one of the go to strategies in the radical lefty playbook, aka do everything possible to all but guarantee that a group of "expendable" to them but hyped up as a protected and completely inexcusable to commit violence against group will be targeted...

 

And then hold the usual feting and 3 days of enforced mourning with daily reminders for years after of the "senseless tragedy" all to social engineer a blackmail situation with which to force the proles and anyone with the good sense to oppose them into silence with!

 

Problem is, their usual tricks aren't working all that well anymore. 

 

All in all this makes for a spectacular time to go back to school or go job hunting if you currently work for CNN before your boss shoves you dick first into a meat grinder on purpose!
