2 Big Stories Not on DU

[Airwolf]

Close, closer than can be expected of a DUmmy. But still not quite right:

Walz: “This is what happens when they scapegoat and this is what they happens when they no longer hide the idea of white supremacy…”

Walz is, instead of dealing with the fraud, playing the race card against those who uncovered it, and those who are rightfully outraged about it.

As someone who got so far up the Enlisted chain of command, I would have thought that Tampon Timmy would have learned that as part of being a leader that you are the one ultimately responsible for the actions of those under your command and that you had better learn to take responsibility for what they do?

You know the dems have stepped in it when they can't get their excuses straight.

"It's debunked!"

"Well, it was only a few million billion dollars in fraud."

"Well, Walz didn't know."

And of course...

"Well, it's nothing compared to the amount of felonious orange man badness in the White House!"

IMHO, what is dangerous about this is the MSM. Some of the DU'ers are just refusing to acknowledge these stories. But, a bunch of them have never heard of these stories. if the story doesn't fit, and can't be easily defended it just disappears. that's journalism folks.

I hope the media darlings who censor our news get what they deserve. They have been screaming nazi, white supremist, racist, bla, bla bla, at Republicans in general and Trump in particular every damn day! No need for them to pretend they are innocents. That's bullshit. They're a vital part of what got Charlie Kirk killed. And, they deserve equal blame for the attempts on Trump. They've been inciting the LW freaks to violence. And, it's by design. Keep saying it and eventually crazies act on it. OWN IT, YOU MAHATTEN MORONS!

It’s Time to Rename the Media - American Stasi

 “You don’t hate the media enough.”

It’s a line you often hear when people are describing the media. In an attempt to encourage readers to appreciate how horrible the press is, conservatives use it again and again: “You don’t hate the media enough. You think you do, but you don’t.”

 I have long advocated calling the media the American Stasi - or even just the Stasi. It’s the name of the German communist secret police that terrorized the country from 1945 to the fall of the Berlin Wall. The Stasi was an evil force. It was also one that included many journalists, artists, and writers.

    In theology and popular culture, there has always been an emphasis put on dealing with something evil, of gaining control over it, only by calling that thing by its right name. Horror movies from The Exorcist to The Conjuring rely upon the good guys finding out the real name of the demons they are battling. In The Pope's Exorcist, a priest played by Russell Crowe is trying to exorcise a child possessed by a demon but is failing. Why? Because he doesn't know the demon's name.

    Every time we call the American Stasi “journalists,” we are losing ground, effectively playing on their turf. These are the people who implied that President Trump brought on his own assignation attempt, have tried to destroy Nick Shirley, and who accused Brett Kavanaugh of gang rape. They want to hurt you, to ruin your life, to destroy your relationships, and drive you mad. These are not “journalists.”

Yes, and this is also the reason I won't refer to the left as "liberals" or "progressives", becasue they have bastardized those terms to mean something they shouldn't.
