Yes, yes it is. You clearly have no interest in a good faith discussion and are only interested in so called "gotcha's" which tend to end up as self owns anyway.

"trolling" has many flavors and posting videos (especially youtube videos) without substantive comment is a most distasteful flavor

Meh, posting youtubes/video clips without comment doesn't usually lead to substantive discussion. That said, there's certainly an element of cheerleading and posting silly stuff that's always been permissible and doesn't rise to the level of disruptive trolling. Like, you wouldn't object if someone posted a Daily Show clip without comment.

Please don't speak for me. On this topic I have been consistent and unwavering. I would and have removed any videos (regardless of source) posted without comment. Of course the action is easier and more palatable if the source of the video is questionable, but the principle remains the same.

24 hours on in the 'why did you commit to this idiotic lie' saga:

Joy has hired a 'cyber security expert' to say a bunch of vague techie nonsense that sounds plausible to people who don't understand what it means.



her critics do not find this very convincing:





especially given that Joy's 'cyber security expert' seems kinda insane:



naturally, Joy's supporters, viewers and resistance allies have been very critical of her clearly deep rooted homophobia, as well as her stupid lies she's constructed to protect herself, which being theoretically a 'journalist', is a pretty serious breach of both ethics and good sense.

jk obv

i know this story doesn't matter in any real way, but this is the point people like greenwald make all the time about the mainstream MSNBC, centrist, #resistance, hillary booster liberals - much of the time they are as cultish, tribal and divorced from facts or reality as FNC viewers. they would 100% hound a right wing media personality, or a bernie leftist, out of a job for this **** even before the whole fabrication part.

How hard is it to find some normal IT security schlubb? Like a competent guy with a wife and kids and doesn't have any odd opinions?
04-25-2018 , 09:53 AM
presumably a competent guy would care about his professional rep and come to the same conclusion as everyone else, that obviously they're her posts, there was no hacking, and JAR is being very silly indeed.

like with Trump and his 'healthiest president in history' doctor, you have to go quite far down the list into the crackpot 'will say whatever for $$$' section.

The GOP is going to run against Joy in the midterms aren't they

I mean, if we're going to play the "cherry picked examples of misconduct by pundits" game, I don't think GOP slappys are going to enjoy the outcome.

As if on cue, less than an hour after you posted that, Greenwald wrote this on the Intercept.

I like the part where she got lawyers to tell the Wayback Machine to remove her archives because they were hacked. They told her no, they weren't hacked so we're leaving them up. Then she got her web guy to add robots.txt which automatically removed her blog from the archive.

I wish I could bet my net worth on her not having been hacked. I had the same wish back when Anthony Weiner said he was hacked and "couldn't say with certitude" whether the dick pics were his.
04-25-2018 , 10:49 AM
Yeah, Joy's probably done here. The fact that she's gone radio silent kind of confirms the story to me, she's usually a large presence on teh Twitter almost hourly.

But I really don't give two ****s what a sleazebag Tucker Carlson reg like Glenn ****ing Greenwald thinks about her (or anyone/anything else for that matter). Maybe when he writes a similar piece on, I don't know, Tucker Carlson, then I might consider his views on the topic somewhat relevant. Just lol @ anyone who even cites him ever for anything at this point.

You can always get past paywalls by opening an incognito window

I think wsj is like wapo in that you get xx number of reads before they ask for money. It opened for me and I am not subscribed.

Someone called her an "anachronism", that was basically the highlight of the article. Mostly it's just good to see that her attempt to rebrand herself as a moderate is failing.

Maybe for some, but I also can’t view any WSJ articles in full without being asked to sign in or subscribe. Doesn’t matter if it’s incognito, either.
