Gary putting Carra on podcasts with Phil, Becks and even alone with Scholesy for the fan debate is giving off 'you better get used to these bastards if you're marrying me you tosser' vibe and I'm living for it

I’m reading some election post-mortems, and I have to say it sure is convenient that the solution to the Democrats’ woes is always whatever the author had already wanted them to do.

Public Service Announcement | How to Identify Sophistry in Response to Criticsm of the Chinese Communist Party

Be aware of the willful sophistry of pundits or regurgitated ignorance of useful idiots/npcs and their pavlovian response used to neutralize criticism of the Chinese Communist Party by attacking the person and not their position/criticism - this is typically done by accusing them of prejudice by conflating the criticism of the Chinese Govt. and/or the Chinese Communist Party with the Chinese people.

No one has been harmed by the Chinese State/Chinese Communist Party more so than the People of China (excluding individual citizens who have chosen the Party over the People).

Millions of Muslims and other religious minorities are currently confined in internment camps and religious conversion/re-education camps. There is also evidence that Uyghurs are being used as forced labour and of women being forcibly sterilised. Some former camp detainees have also alleged they were tortured and sexually abused. Others are describing what is going as a modern genocide. But go on, ignoring things inconvenient to your agenda/ideology, and telling me more the about the historical shame and present rot of Western Civilization without perspective by refusing to acknowledge its progress when compared to the antiquated yet ongoing horrors elsewhere.

Former President Donald Trump is still big money for the mainstream media big money.

MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace - who describes herself as a "self-loathing former Republican" - and her guests seemingly love Donald Trump as they discussed the former President nearly 60% more than they did Joe Biden, despite the latter being the current President of the United States.

A transcript search found that the word "Trump" was uttered 11,668 times on her show from 20 January 2021, when Biden was sworn in, to 30 December 2021.  Biden's name was mentioned only 4,710 times - nearly 2.5 times less often on Wallace's show, "Deadline: White House."  This is surely more evidence that Donald Trump is the mainstream media's bread and butter.

RELATIVE TODDLERISM

The idea for this post came during my morning rant while I was pondering that there seemed to be no “good guys” in politics or the media any more than there are in business in general. That a pol or a pundit only looks good in the presence of someone worse. That a media CEO is no less greedy than one at a bank and an up and coming pol—behind the smiles and promises—is as sleazy as any…
