Random Politics & Religion #13

I don't think silencing the media is what I was getting at but rather work on keeping their reporting unbiased. There is a clear difference between reporting and pushing an idea and a narrative. Even Obama agrees that the media needs to be looked at it.

It is definitely a dicey situation but currently the media is run by corporations with political interests which IMO is far, far worse than being moderated by the government.

But its ok, we can dismiss any idea that would better our political our process by claiming it is unconstitutional without actually thinking about a positive solution. I guess you don't mind propaganda and want an election as crappy as this one every 4 years.




A lot of this has to do with how much we are paying our educators. I also think that smarter is nice but more understanding is better. This is a problem that will be fixed over time but we need to start sooner or later. Increasing their pay and benefits is a good way to start and then finding a way to hold their teaching accountable and unbias (especially in the political department). Education needs to be and raw and unfiltered. I know here in Texas that religious and conservative bias runs pretty deep in our education, except in a few of our colleges where there is a heavy liberal bias.

You don't have to involve the government, that is a terrible idea. But you can make it so media corps can't donate/receive donations by political parties and owners of media channels can't get involved in politics in general to avoid conflict of interests.

also you trust your government more than corporations? Interesting... Trading control from one massive body to the other... As much as I don't really like many corporations in general I still think it's about the worst idea ever to hand over control of moderating media aka censoring media to the government... Where does it end? How would that get rid of bias? Is there no bias in politics? In the government? How far will they take it? Would stories about hillarys emails be stricken? Or how about reporting on alleged sexual assault claims against trump? How do we ferrit out bias from what needs to be heard?

Actually you can't do that...

There wasn't collusion. For it to have been such, the FBI would have had to change the status of the email and they didn't.

Nice to see you've caught up to the news cycle of May 2015.

We can't just roll over because something seems hard

Take what you want of this but go to page 26 and start at "Shortly thereafter". if you read the context above it states 6 weeks ago from the report which was 9/21/2015.

THE HELL WE CAN'T!!!

dude this is a third party hack website for a fifteen year old jp on line video game that nobody ever heard of...

we're like....ninth degree black belts at avoiding hard work...

the only thing I can think of more pointless than trying to motivate a video game junkie into physical action is chattering to squirrels in the park...trying to get them to gather nuts for you.

In defense of this website it still has more credibility than the Huff Post !

And when you read through to page 29 you find out the conclusion. Request denied.

you have to keep in mind that you're talking to people that have not "traveled" to areas on XI (on a particular day or at all) because they were too lazy to "run" that far... in a video game...

and XI has autorun...

so basically you don't even have to exert effort in the form of slight constant finger pressure on the controller in the direction you want to move...

but you do have to steer left and right sometimes >.>

we're not exactly setting the world on fire with our youthful exuberance...

The request is the important part though and the main focus.

It was also denied because it was something he couldn't do without the proper authority.

A new video investigation released Monday by James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas Action shows how Democratic-aligned organizations used a tactic called 'bird-dogging' to incite violence and chaos at Trump rallies for media consumption. A key Clinton operative is captured on camera saying, "It doesn’t matter what the friggin’ legal and ethics people say, we need to win this ***."

In the video, Democratic activists Robert Creamer and Scott Foval reveal their strategy to create a sense of "anarchy" in and around Donald Trump events over the course of the campaign. Foval tells an undercover operative: "One of the things we do is we stage very authentic grassroots protests right in their faces at their own events. Like, we infiltrate."

"So the term bird dogging: You put people in the line, at the front which means that they have to get there at six in the morning because they have to get in front at the rally, so that when Trump comes down the rope line, they’re the ones asking him the question in front of the reporter, because they’re pre-placed there," explains Foval. "To funnel that kind of operation, you have to start back with people two weeks ahead of time and train them how to ask questions. You have to train them to bird dog.”

In another undercover interview, Creamer tells Project Veritas that his organization, Democracy Partners, has daily check-ins with the Clinton campaign in order to coordinate efforts. “I just had a call with the campaign and the DNC, every day at one o’clock,” says Creamer subordinate Zulema Rodriguez in the video.

Foval explains to O'Keefe's undercover journalist how the web of Democratic organizations is designed to subvert laws preventing Super PACs and political action groups from organizing directly with campaigns: "The campaign pays DNC, DNC pays Democracy Partners, Democracy Partners pays the Foval Group, the Foval Group goes and executes the ***on the ground... Democracy Partners is the tip of the spear on that stuff."

"We're consultants so we're not the official entity and so those conversations can be had between consultants," Foval explains, “The campaigns and DNC cannot go near [Democratic super PAC] Priorities [USA], but I guaran-damn-tee you that the people who run the Super PACs all talk to each other and we and a few other people are the hubs of that communication.”

One event specifically mentioned by the Democratic operatives to have been 'bird-dogged' was the September incident in North Carolina where a 69-year-old woman was supposedly assaulted by a Trump supporter. In reality, the woman was "trained" by Foval as part of his operation. “She was one of our activists,” he says.

“I’m saying we have mentally ill people, that we pay to do ***, make no mistake,” says Foval in the video. “Over the last twenty years, I’ve paid off a few homeless guys to do some crazy stuff, and I’ve also taken them for dinner, and I’ve also made sure they had a hotel, and a shower. And I put them in a program. Like I’ve done that. But the reality is, a lot of people especially our union guys. A lot of our union guys…they’ll do whatever you want. They’re rock and roll. When I need to get something done in Arkansas, the first guy I call is the head of the AFL-CIO down there, because he will say, ‘What do you need?’ And I will say, I need a guy who will do this, this and this. And they find that guy. And that guy will be like, Hell yeah, let’s do it.”

"It doesn't matter what the friggin' legal and ethics people say, we need to win this ***," Foval also said.

Inter-agency back scratching/palm greasing is nothing new or worth getting worked up about.
