Members marceline Posted October 18, 2018 Members Share Posted October 18, 2018 Because the media is made up overwhelmingly of white people and they use these pieces as a way of justifying the behavior of their friends and family. A lot of them have to sit at the table on Thanksgiving with people just like this so by default they try to humanize them. They have to find a way to excuse the fact that Aunt Becky called the cops on a black kid at the playground. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted October 18, 2018 Members Share Posted October 18, 2018 (edited) Someone should do a study and see if there is a causal effect of these stories and ratings decline on these networks. I'm just unsure of how these types of stories actually boost ratings when network news has been on a continual slide downward.

Members DramatistDreamer Posted October 18, 2018 Members Share Posted October 18, 2018 The everlasting mess that is known as the Trump administration. Soon they'll be selling their cabinet's fights on PPV. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DramatistDreamer Posted October 18, 2018 Members Share Posted October 18, 2018 Or they could be squabbling over the fact that both are complicit in a white house that has done immeasurable damage and helped create a hellscape for the entire country and perhaps, many parts of the world. And they are each, (as well as the man they support) not worth one damn. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MichaelGL Posted October 18, 2018 Members Share Posted October 18, 2018 With each passing day, I get less confident that the midterms will restore some sense of sanity in this country. Between voter suppression tactics in Georgia and the lack of interest by some folks in voting, I'm starting think things are gonna get even worse before they get better. It's saddening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ReddFoxx Posted October 19, 2018 Members Share Posted October 19, 2018 This ad has been airing on the radio in Arkansas' 2nd Congressional district. Listen to it, because it is horrible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Juliajms Posted October 19, 2018 Members Share Posted October 19, 2018 Please register in order to view this content I just can't believe that ad is actually hitting our airwaves. It really manages to be quite the amalgam of racist, sexist nonsense. I'm not quite sure which of several groups should be the most insulted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted October 19, 2018 Members Share Posted October 19, 2018 (edited) I'm DEAD just from reading that tweet, lol. It's sort of like what someone said about Trump and (Kan)Ye together in the WH (and I'm paraphrasing): it's rare when a photo can offend black Americans and white supremacists at the same time.
