Anti-semetism doesn't equal anti zionism.
EDIT: What I mean is that she is being anti-zionist, which is different to being antisemetic.

So attacking the media for not doing their job properly and pushing an agenda is bad now?


I'm not sure how reporting the selfie is "pushing an agenda" - she was standing up to far-right bigots, and the media couldn't have known about her true beliefs without doing a complete background check... which, as I mentioned, would be impracticable in an age of instant reporting. Yes, the media should've ideally known about her background, but ultimately there was no way for them to know about it at the time.

The media did do their job correctly - they reported news, and when it turns out something new is discovered, they reported that as well.

You left out Population reduction and carbon taxing, he supports those ideas and forces his news network to consistently broadcast one sided media stories aimed at supporting the left and all the believe in, never giving both sides of an argument, only what the communists want.


The carbon tax isn't a communist idea... it's centre-left. I don't see CNN advocating for the abolition of the currency, total state control over everything and the abolition of democracy. I'm guessing that as you think CNN is communist, then you must think Jeremy Corbyn is basically Stalin...

As for biased reporting, see Fox News.

Nothing particularly communist about population reduction (in fact, the political ideology most in favour of such a thing, primitivism, is probably about as right wing as you can get) and carbon taxing lmao.
All news outlets have a tendency towards one-sided media stories aimed at supporting the ideology they are biased towards. How does CNN's left wing bias make it communist anyway?

Clearly you didn't pay attention to her tweets because she painted all jews with the same zionist brush saying that hitler only let some jews live because he wanted to let the world know why he was killing them.

The real issue is nothing to do with "lefties" or anything like that. This is just a media fail, and these things happen to media organisations across the political and social spectrum.

Whether it was a case of them not doing their jobs or of it not being possible/realistic to know this information prior to their publishing previous stories I don't know.

But I also don't know why this is a left-wing problem. Because right-wing media is unimpeachable?

No it's far-left. Using false statistics to make a claim, destroying farming areas in Central america to make space for research is far-left. They constantly shove down our throats the idea of Global warming being true when it's nothing short of another money making scheme, disproving by statistics. If you did more research into this, you would realise that statistics used by Government scientists have been intentionally altered to make it seem legit along with the sheer hypocrisy of Politicians diplomats and actors who support the idea of global warming conducting their transportation in private jets that give out more carbon than you could imagine.

...you don't believe in global warming? Despite almost the entire scientific community agreeing on it? Despite the numerous, peer-checked papers, and the total lack of evidence for the contrary? This is just as ridiculous as saying vaccines cause autism, or 9/11 was 'faked', or any of the other ridiculous ideas. Not everything is a conspiracy, designed by the government to personally target you somehow.

The media is standing up against far right bigots by standing up with a far right bigot.

Two wrongs don't make a right.

Just because what she did was instant and viral doesn't make it right to report a story without covering all the evidences.

Just because the media sides with the woman standing up against what you call bigotry doesn't mean they shouldn't have gathered all the information before supporting a bigot.


And btw not all major news network supported this media fail, only the usual suspects as i pointed out.

No one whose done actual research into global warming believes it.

Scientists have said it's a myth, global sea ice increasing says its a myth, The UK and some parts in Europe recording record low temperatures in history shows its a myth, artic ice increasing says it's a myth i could go on forever on why it's a myth.

Right there's nothing communist about genocide, population control and ethnic cleansing.

Like how Stalin and Hitler just had to liberally eradicate jews and dissenters.

They certainly weren't crazy commies.

The only 'evidence' that global warming doesn't exist primarily comes from sources that receive a nice pay cheque from the coal/oil lobbying industries. Every single reputable scientist agrees on its existence, and that we've contributed to it, and if we don't act, there will be severe consequences. You don't even have to rely on science to see its existence - look at the fluctuating weather, and look at the floods, and see how the Arctic is melting extremely quickly, with any evidence of the ice 'increasing' being rare and/or unreliable.

Global warming is a significant issue and threat to society and our planet, and ignoring it won't make it go away.

Even if you don't believe in it though, everyone agrees that we're running out of fossil fuels etc., and that renewable energy sources are the future. So what's wrong with a carbon tax, that would discourage the use of limited resources and encourage long-term investment in green energy?

Do you even know the basics of Socialism/Communism?


What do you think NAZI stands for?


NATIONAL SOCIALISM.

Socialism as in das kapital as in Communism. I'll write you an equation.


Socialist philosophy + a large army + charisma = Communism.

Ah, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, so liberal :daydreaming:
The very early manifestation of the Nazi Party may have been identifiably socialist, but by the mid to late thirties it had shifted to extreme anti-marxism

Global warming is as much of a threat to humanity as is the rise of an army of Unicorns.

The only people who support the idea of Global warming are bought and paid for Government scientists that alter their own statistics to favour their narrative.

There hasn't been any major global change to the world since the 90's.

The UK had the highest temperatures in 2009 and 2010

Even NASA themselves admitted that Polar ice was NOT reducing but increasing.

http://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/nasa-study-mass-gains-of-antarctic-ice-sheet-greater-than-losses/


I agree that fossil fuels are reducing this is because they are a non renewable source of energy, i've taken courses on natural energy and gases, and written papers on it, and i do agree that we should find other sources of energy and government should subside alternative energy research and harvesting companies, but the truth is that Global warming isn't a real thing.

LOL, You're too moronic to argue with, just look at your avatar and see who really is the "dumb child"


Typical Right wing fail.

That's because Karl Marx was an inept socialist like are you trying to argue with me because all you've done is support my statement about Marx being a socialist.


I also have no idea what you meant by the Korea pitch you made.

Ofc Marx was a socialist, I'm just saying that the Nazi party guilty of population control and all that was anti-marxist.

It was that self-proclaimed names mean nothing

Well, I'm glad you agree we should find other sources of energy. I'm really excited about the work that Tesla is doing, for example, and ideally we won't rely on fossil fuels at all within a few decades.

Regarding global warming... I give up. I could present you with a thousand peer-reviewed scientific papers, from scientists across the world who have never even spoken to a member of a government, and you'd still believe it was a conspiracy. Just please, for the sake of the planet, never become a politician, or a teacher.
