Carlson out at Fox, Lemon out at CNN

Are we sure FF doesn't consider it one?

You don't really care about my opinion. You guys make fun of me on a daily basis, think I'm racist, sexist, hate transgender people and on particular douche bag called my mom a Nazi. You think I parrot Fox News/Tucker Carlson talking points. You think I'm dumb, compare me to Dayton. Dicky said I'm a Putin sucker therefore it must be true. Shooter agreed with it, who else agree? You don't think that I can think for myself and you purposely bring up my past quotes to throw them back in my face. Why should I continue to attempt to explain anything to any of you, you're just going to disagree with it then proceed to do all of these things all over again. It gets old and I'm sick of it.

Oh and why did @shootER intentionally leave out the part where I also included the military industrial complex? This is the part that involves Ukraine, not necessarily troops. Could it be he's being dishonest and not arguing in good faith?

And of course, in your little internal psycho-drama, you're an innocent little gummy bear.
Never mind what a nasty little rattler snake you can be.
Let's just memory erase that shit, huh?

I was responding to this sentence, Skeezix.

And you accusing someone else of not arguing in good faith is rich.

Total Sidenote but indulge my love of etymology if you’d like.

You know the schtick where an American is trying to speak a foreign language and just says English words* with an over the top accent? It’s hilarious how often this works with German.

Like would anyone here (who has graduated HS and has a modicum of critical reasoning skills) not pretty much immediately have a really good idea what ‘Kommando’ and ‘Spezial’ translated to? Which would be enough for most folks to get the idea.

Kräfte meaning ‘Power’ or ‘Force’ in German (but yes it is the basis of the English Craft: To turn one thing into an another) will be a little off at first but then think Witchcraft. The power of witches.

/useless sidenote

*Yes, yes, yes, I realize they were originally Germanic; not my point.

I'll take, "Showing My Insecurity" for $100, LeVar.

Noooo, you’re not a child …, all adults cry and throw fits when someone on AN OBSCURE INTERNET MESSAGE BOARD makes fun of them.

*looks suspiciously at my Kraft Macaroni and Cheese.*

*pokes with a stick*

Sprechen sie Deutsch?

Kraft: Nein, mein Herr

@Bill Carson -- Is it possible that military aid of any kind, whether it's troops or materiel, is not ALWAYS good or ALWAYS bad? That military aid is a tool, and like any tool, it can be used either effectively or ineffectively, and for a good cause or a bad one?

Was the Allied invasion of Germany in 1945 morally equivalent to Saddam Hussein's 1990 invasion of Kuwait, simply because they both involved military force being used to occupy the territory of another country?

You seriously can’t make this up.






Anyone wanna take a gander at the translation?

"Is [doesn't translate, don't know what it is] a sex monster?"

We think those things because that's the shit you keep posting.

When you are either intentionally sharing those things as basic facts, or doing so because you were too lazy to even check the first search result for them, don't complain that people judge you by that.

He’s back.

Correction: we think you parrot YouTube talking points. Which generally are the same as Fox News/Tucker Carlson talking points, but that isn't necessarily where you get them.

So just noticed this.

“The Ring Gimli son of Glóin cannot be destroyed by any craft that we here possess.”

So at least in Tolkien’s time craft still could mean power? Or maybe he was using archaic words?

I always took that line to mean "craft" as in skill/trade as in forging, or metalurgy, or...well, how we'd use science and technology now.

I always thought craft meant scantily clad hot chicks pretending to be witches because they bought as book in waldenbooks to piss of their christian parents.

Oh, look, it’s Uncle Albert bitching about pink haired college girls …

Tolkien was a professor of ancient English literature (forget his exact title, but you get the gist), and people who know such things say that the languages he created are nothing more than slight reworkings of languages that were common in Britain (the island, not the modern country) in centuries past. I've read a smattering of writings from the time period Tolkien specialized in (and much of it was translated by him) where the word "craft" was primarily intended for things like witchcraft. Though it could be a somewhat generalized term for anyone with specialized skills (a craftsman, for example).

Something else to think about. Around the time Tolkien was writing LOTR, etc., there was a witchcraft fad sweeping England. At the end of WWII, some Brit published an article where he claimed that he'd encountered a couple of women who practiced witchcraft that they said had been taught in secret for millennia. It turns out that the guy made it all up. The women didn't exist, nobody was seriously practicing witchcraft in the UK at that point, or even within a thousand years of the end of WWII. It's entirely possible that Tolkien looped that in because it was a common term in the media involving witchcraft at the time.

CNN has plummeted in the ratings as the results come in from just two days after the Trump town hall.

They have been passed by Newsmax in the all important prime time window.

Brian Kilmeade as Fox's replacement for Tucker Carlson is drawing in half his previous viewership.

The total number for cable news is down - though considering the average age is 71 for a cable news devotee, that might just because the pandemic killed a lot of them off.

it used to be older?

You had to grow up where I grew up. They were cool because they were wiccan. I was a dork because I got into D&D. I liked the movie and all, butwicca was the way to tell your mom you were mad at her for making you go to church in my day.

I do actually respect witchcraft and such, but in that area I can agree with UA that those girls could be petty and cliquish. There were actual real girls who were into witchcraft and did those things, and then there were those who got there ouija board from mattel.

shut up. no one cares.

Sorry, not what I meant to say - just that for the last decade that was the average age of cable news viewers (Fox was actually higher) and that's the cohort that died in the largest numbers during the pandemic.

People are finding alternate sources for news because they don't trust corporate news anymore. Covid lies accelerated this. They have done it to themselves, especially CNN.

There's no such thing as a lemonade stand of news.
If it's big enough to make it to your eyeballs, it's corporate.

If you think the populace's distrust of mass media is new, you are sorely mistaken. Covid did not accelerate that. Idiot trump supporters decided they knew better than source provided by Fauci because Fauci did his job. But, like trump, his supporters think they know how other people are supposed to do their job, despite not having any knowledge of that job nor possessing any of the qualifying attributes to do that job - like intelligence.

No confirmation yet, but it looks like Ingraham may have been cut loose by Fox.
