The Media Still Don't Get It

"I guess this is what AOC meant when she said it’s possible to be morally right while being factually incorrect. The truth doesn’t matter, as long as the “correct” narrative’s still there. Sounds good."

Much as I hate to look like I'm siding with her (which I definitely am not - she's a complete idiot), I have to say that's NOT what she said:

"she said. “There's a lot of people more concerned about being precisely, factually, and semantically correct than about being morally right.”

She said nothing about being "factually INCORRECT". It would probably have helped if you quoted her directly, yes? :-)

OCASIO-CORTEZ: If people want to really blow up one figure here or one word there, I would argue that they’re missing the forest for the trees. I think that there’s a lot of people more concerned about being precisely, factually, and semantically correct than about being morally right.

“...they DO GET IT. It’s their job.”

Absolutely!

Edudoctrinated in it deeply from K through their teaching/journalism/media/marketing/HR degree. So much so that it’s more a religion for them, maybe a cult.

That there are so many of them, in increasing numbers with every graduating class, is truly frightening.

What kind of dumb sh!t concludes that the media hasn't "learned their lesson"? Hello, didn't the DNC take the House after the Kegger fiasco? If not for Trump's heroics, the Senate might have been lost as well.

What's interesting - at least to me - is that while the world accelerate into this current "dynamic" phase, certain media properties, pundits and writers continue to act as if the old rules apply. That is, it appears the sentiment accepts that while the MSM may be biased, there are still elements of unity, albeit separated by (political) disagreements.

Sad. And useless, boring and embarrassing as well if truth be told. In the meantime, people who actually have a clue are watching the strategic game, assessing the relative strengths and weaknesses between belligerents in the ongoing CW2. This ends only one way, through unconditional surrender of the enemy, with their rights of participation removed, and controlled management of conceded territories.

“...with their rights of participation removed, and controlled management of conceded territories.“

Seems this is already well underway against conservatives, Christians and white men.

Plenty of them get it all too well.

They intend to win the Culture Wars!
