Right. It's like the ultimate liberal folly to miss this. I wrote about it two days ago:

Either way the people who cut checks to Project Vertias type projects (e.g., Donald ****ing Trump) can live with either outcome.
The intentionally low quality of right-wing journalism is a feature, not a bug. It's designed into the system. Sure, that it's low brow theatrics and has no standards besides partisan histrionics is partly because they're lazy, partly because the audience is dumb, but importantly because that's what it's supposed to be.

It's where the right-wing long con tactics come in so handy. These guys are pros. It's a pretty textbook business strategy that if you're competing with a firm and you know you can't win on quality to saturate the market with poor quality imitations and sully the product line in an attempt to confuse consumers. These guys knowingly churn out Sumsang and Aple type media products which are pretty transparent counterfeits and then let market confusion take care of the rest.

I don't know if it's confusion. I feel like for the most part people want and actively seek out the "poor quality" counterfeits in this market.

Sure. In my other post, I think I described it more accurately as a semi bluff: either you get the highly attentive deplorables and get their clicks and subscription money with low brow political garbage, or you confuse the barely attentive and convince everyone journalism is just a lurid circus act. Gives the player two ways to win. Both outcomes serve ideological goals and there's little coherent pusback from opponents or people engaged in serious journalism. Largely BECAUSE there's still an air and pretense over 'journalism' that their work should be non-ideological and so there are no effective trigger strategies.

The woman who worked with Project Veritas to utterly fail at duping the Washington Post also rented an Airbnb in the basement of a Democratic consultant

Maybe a coincidence as it doesn't seem like he's doing any juicy work right now...but maybe not?

Quote:
Shortly after announcing online that she was joining the “conservative media movement,” Jaime Phillips checked into an Airbnb apartment for a two-week stay in the basement of the Capitol Hill home of Brad Woodhouse, the former communications director for the Democratic National Committee, Woodhouse said Tuesday.
Quote:
Woodhouse remained a prominent Democratic consultant after leaving the DNC in 2013. He was appointed in September to be campaign director of Protect Our Care, which advocates for the Affordable Care Act.

Weeks before the 2016 election, Woodhouse was president of Americans United for Change when two people associated with the liberal advocacy group were secretly filmed by O’Keefe’s organization.
11-29-2017 , 03:21 PM
Maybe she was a double agent, secretly working for some nefarious liberals to infiltrate O'Keefe's moron brigades and embarrass them.
11-29-2017 , 03:23 PM
Oh man, that's some galactic brain **** right there.
11-29-2017 , 03:28 PM
You think there are a lot of conservatives renting rooms in their houses out to dirty hippy poors?

Just to be a poker nit, that term no longer means much (where's the official line between a value bet, and a bluff?), we're now simply betting to deny equity.

Oh and a convicted war criminal drank poison in court and died

Quote:
A convicted war criminal from Croatia swallowed what he said was poison and died Wednesday after a United Nations court in the Netherlands upheld his 20-year sentence for committing crimes against humanity during the Bosnian war of the 1990s.

In a stunning end to the final case at the U.N.'s International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, former Croatian general Slobodan Praljak yelled, "I am not a war criminal!" in a courtroom and appeared to drink from a small bottle.

Um - how hard is it to get that poison that just painlessly instantly kills you? I mean you know just in case the **** really really hits the fan. I ask for a friend of course.
11-29-2017 , 04:38 PM


As always - calling out nazi coddling is much worse than nazi coddling.

Cyanide isn't painless, but it's fairly quick and probably not too hard to get your hands on it.

Seems easier to just get a gun.

Probably harder to get the gun into the courtroom.

If this passes for "graphic content" then I'll be seeing lots of graphic content at happy hour in a bit

I don't think I could put it to my head and pull the trigger. Too messy and what if I don't die instantly or worse - slip and miss vital things?

So conservatives and nazis have fled twitter en masses to a conservative-friendly version of twitter. I’m curious why decent human beings don’t flee twitter for their constant love of white supremacy?
11-29-2017 , 06:03 PM
So a prisoner can kill himself with a random liquid in Euroland but here in USA #1 we can't find a way to administer the death penalty? The hell? We are terrible at everything

It can be unnerving.

O'Keefe 2024 is pretty much a lock right? I mean at this point it's just sort by ridiculousness - pick top thing. The comments are hilarious.
