I already posted the Nicolle Wallace "extermination" comment in another thread but this one actually tops that.

Here's former FBI guy Frank Figluzzi "not saying" that Trump is surreptitiously signalling Nazis because he ordered flags lowered for the victims of El Paso and Dayton. The comment starts at about 2:45.



Brian Williams..."journalist", Brian Williams doesn't challenge the assessment. He calls it "chilling" and eggs the knucklehead on. These people in the "news" no longer even question themselves! They make birthers look like the Romper Room kids and then pat themselves on the back for making these "assessments".

These aren't assessments. This is overt character assassination for the purpose of promoting political propaganda. Yeah, it's free speech but it damned sure isn't professional journalism and it damned sure isn't ethical.
 
They don't care anymore. No pretense. They have nothing left to lose if Trump wins in 2020.

(not to mention what is about to be revealed about their participation in the fake Trump/Russia operation against Trump)

He is. I've seen this on twitter. The exact memes he was warning about. He didn't say that Trump did it on purpose, maybe someone else like nat-c troll Stephen Miller thought of the date w/o telling trump, but these guys see symbols in everything. I see it all the time on twitter, especially the Qannon community. I don't know why conservatives no longer believe US Intelligence agencies after they claimed to be the party of law enforcement.

I really hadn't considered the "nothing to lose" aspect. There may be something to that.

The NY Times thing is incredibly disturbing. They changed the headline SPECIFICALLY to address a certain political agenda. If your job is to produce news then you're not supposed to have a political agenda!

I don't know where all this is going to end up but it's one hell of a mess. There really isn't an unbiased, reliable news source left in this country and some of the stuff that's coming out of the outlets that used to be news are at a propaganda level that would make former editors at Pravda and Tass blush.
 
WTF?

The last 11 years have been MEDIA MALPRACTICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :soap

The fairness doctrine of the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC), introduced in 1949, was a policy that required the holders of broadcast licenses both to present controversial issues of public importance and to do so in a manner that was—in the FCC's view—honest, equitable, and balanced.

The broadcast news stations, NBC, CBS, and ABC nightly shows all fall under the "fairness doctrine". Maybe it's time to extend the "fairness doctrine" to cable channels too.

If you choose to see only hatred and conspiracy in everything Trump says or does you will definitely find it but that's not because it's the truth, it's because you only see what you choose to see.

While, true, that does not mean that what Frank Figluzzi said was wrong, and that the media is committing malpractice for reporting on it. There is a whole community of these people and they originated on 8chan/4chan. I'm sorry you can't handle the truth but this is what's happening.

I think you are thinking that he believes the stuff about the symbols. No this is what he has been studying online and analyzing these communities... Different things...

The malpractice part comes in when Brian Williams, instead of challenging Figluzzi or presenting an alternate theory (such as "Maybe Trump just wanted the flags at half staff for two days, one for El Paso and the other for Dayton") simply rolls with the conspiracy.

Listen, if you guys really believe that everything Trump says can reasonably be interpreted as promoting domestic terrorism then you can't logically deny that Figluzzi and Williams did the same.

You are misinterpreting what Frank Figluzzi said. Frank Figluzzi said that the white supremacists are using that date as a symbol of hate! H8!!! Get it? He even described the symbol and the meme that I have personally seen online. He is likely referring to this 88 | Hate Symbols Database | ADL
 
Trump literally governs by and Tweets the lies and propaganda he sees daily on Fox. But the Trumpsters are upset about other media outlets?

You can't make this stuff up..

Hannity and Fox and Friends are running this country. None were elected.. How about we sue somebody for that.

Agreed. Media malpractice, but what do you expect from the DNC / leftist Pravda? :shrug:

I'd think that a more accurate statement is that they've already lost a great deal in credibility, and the more and longer the DNC Pravda continues on this track, the more they will lose (mostly the sane middle of the country, the blue edges have already lost their sanity).

I'm well aware of the significance of 88 in the AB and Nazi communities but trying to tie that to Trump or one of his staff as some kind of conspiracy is absurd. Failing to call the guy out on his conspiracy or at least mentioning that it's a conspiracy is journalistic malfeasance.

That's the real media malpractice thread, and yet you have people running defense for the racists and the fascists by completely twisting the words of an FBI agent. They are telling the media that they cannot mention it. As much as they love their little self-taught courses in meaningless symbols they all freak out when the "normies" find out about it. They must have their safe spaces to be racists, otherwise all hell will break loose!

Oh so you are aware of it. Why are you saying it's wrong for him to report on hate symbols that he is seeing online?
I've seen it online myself. It's not a conspiracy theory to point out what's going on.

I’m going to go all CT, here. 8/8 will be Thursday......
 
So, in summary:

The US president orders flags flown at half-mast.

But that means they'll be raised again on August 8th.

...which in short date format is 08/08, or 8-8.

...but 'H' is the 8th letter of the alphabet. Hence 8-8 could stand for H-H.

...and HH are the first letters of "Heil Hitler"

...hence neonazis might shoot up another Walmart.

It's rock-solid analysis, except it overlooks one critical element.

The flags will be raised in the year 2019. But 2019 can be split into 20 and 19, which correspond to letters T and S, or S-T when sorted lexicographically. ST are the first letters of "Shoot The". Many American flags are made in Mexico, hence the flag itself stands for "Mexicans". Putting these symbols together, we get "Shoot The Mexicans". The initial analysis is corroborated.

You've got to admire MSNBC for sharing it with the public. They could've sat on it. Gotten an hour's head start broadcasting the dead bodies over their competitors. But now all the cable networks will be able to pump out the dead body footage with due haste.

How many times did Fox push the Birther conspiracy? The Seth Rich conspiracy? Hell the Russians knew knew just where to go for that. The Pizzagate conspiracy?

Did you demand malpractice then? No, you didn't..

Long before I arrived on this forum, I posted a thread on another forum which addressed the fake media and their crap started long before Trump was on the horizon. The leftist media, especially CNN and MSNBC, is invested in spreading propaganda, spin, and lies because they are no longer invested in fact telling or challenging the willful lies of their guests.

IMO, the leftist media is just stumping for their side, and the echo chamber. They bank on their lies traveling around the globe while the truth is putting on its shoes.
 
Oh, thought this was about Fox news when I heard media malpractice. Oh, thats right, more right wing projection

They couldn't make their case that Trump colluded with Russia, so what's left is Trump colludes with racists.

Nicole Wallace and Steve Schmidt helped John McCain throw an election and unwittingly make Sarah Palin a star.
Now with NBC her lies and deceptions are so obvious that you would have to be intellectually inept to believe in any word she says.
She's stark raving mad, and the MSM has been using this extreme crazy to try to normalize crazy.
