Armed standoff at Portland

I wonder what makes Ngo a ‘conservative’ journalist and not just a journalist who may, or may not happen to be conservative?

Just because his coverage is controversial, doesn’t necessarily mean it’s inaccurate.

Just because he has links to ‘militant’ rightwing groups, doesn’t mean he shares their politics, that’s guilt by association.
A liberal journalist at CNN may have links to anarchists because he’s making a documentary film about them, that doesn’t make him an anarchist.

gloom you’re reaching

substanceless drivel that continues to evade the issue. very on brand.

I don’t trust the MSM much in general, most especially when it comes to leftwing militants, they’re in league with them.

I’m giving guys like Andy Ngo a chance.

The MSM has completely failed us in its coverage of leftwing militancy and so many other things.

As they continue to fail us, alternative and independent journalists will step up to the plate/fill in the gaps.

The MSM has no one to blame for this but themselves.

In time, these alternative and independent journalists may become the new mainstream, in some cases they already are.

The time for journalistic and political realignment is long overdue.

And that is Your idea of a substantive response? - “very on brand” :laughing:

All we ever see from you is one sentence ad homs.

dude the daily caller? it’s like youre going out of your way to only listen to extremists.

Mr R my dude youve got to stop being the dumbass here. Youre a fucking brilliant guy but … well, you seem to actually be unaware of the nature of ‘respected media’ have played throughout their entire existence.

Its kay to read a newspaper or watch cnn if you do it to feel cozy while having coffee, but to believe them – come on. Really. I mean, that’s just not taking into account where these phenomena originated and how they operate.

Ive worked in the news for over a decade, people in the mainstream are even worse psychopaths than you hear so much spoken of nowadays.

Report your thoughts please.

i do not read newspapers or watch cnn. you guys have got this whole mindset that there are only 2 places to get info. like if someone ins’t jacking off to tucker carlson then they must be an idiot watching cnn. fact is, people who watch tucker carlson, and people who watch cnn are both idiots. for fuck’s sake man. when govt does something, it’s a matter of public record. they speak directly to the public. nearly every world leader and or elected official has a twitter acct. going to pundits to have them interpret all this information for you is just stupid and lazy, and it’s why so many people are brainwashed and unable to think outside the line that’s being fed to them.

Look man I have no clue who “tucker Carlson” is, but I gather he is some mainstream figurehead. I am the sort of person who goes to Syria with Hezbollah to find out about deeds of Israel and to Northern Israel to find out about deeds of Hamas, not the sort of person who watches tv. The sources I go by online are generally deleted shortly after having been posted. Do you think true information just presents itself to you voluntarily right in your comfort zone?

Politics is the most complex and well hidden mechanism on the planet, that should speak for itself really. It is pretty much guaranteed by basic rules of power (deception) that whatever comes at you and isn’t censored is an untruth. That should be your starting point.

Start out by looking at precisely those things that make you uncomfortable, our of place. Thats the attitude to generate courage and ruggedness in life, and that goes a thousand fold for understanding politics.

tucker carlson is the dude who repeats all these fringe outlets for a bigger audience. i dont watch tv either.

Tucker Carlson is a bit of a stand alone opinion talk show host. I see him as someone who talks about many issues that no one else talks about (mostly in the US of course) - until after he has brought attention. Politically he is right of center but certainly no right wing pundit. He is officially a US Democrat and heavily criticizes the Republican party - while accepting that the Left-wing has gone completely daft. His style is hyperbolic but he always reveals his actual sources, expecting his audience to see his exaggerations as what they are (he expects his audience to be intelligent).

But you are right about getting most of the world news from non-MSM sources that usually get erased. Then putting the information/misinformation jigsaw puzzle together as well as can be expected - certainly not rushing to judgement and always leery that your favorite team might be doing something underhanded.

Precisely but only if you are comfortable being a minority outsider bloke. :smiley:

I have just been reminded of something about Tucker Carlson - as much as I appreciate his efforts to delve into the non-mainstream stories - I don’t see him as particularly brilliant - He apparently has fallen into actually believing in the UFO narrative stemming from the US’ new political and socialist Pentagon - daft nonsense. He might as well accept that maths is racist and that 3+3=7 (as the woksters promote).

did you just say that tucker carlson was a democrat who criticized the republican party?

Did you just ask if I just said that Tucker Carlson was a democrat who criticized the republican party?

yes. i did.

I thought so.
