Who'd have thought that if you devote a large percentage of your air-time to defaming a specific person, that person might not grant you exclusive, long-form interviews? Gotta be honest, we were all shitting bricks in master control the whole time that interview was coming down the line. We had two different dishes pointing at the bird, each with two separate receivers feeding two recorders. We had our sister station in Indianapolis downlink it as well, just in case. (There's a 1gb/s dedicated pipe between us, so they can stream us material in faster-than-realtime.) It was odd, since we do this kind of thing every day for sports, but that one had a lot of eyes on it. And, yes, the bias-check team actually sat in Post Two for the entire edit, looking over Terry's shoulder. |

Technically, taxes are extortion.

There's no technicality about it, they are extortion/armed robbery.

A common trait among conspiracy theorists is their need to derogate critics. Criticism must be devalued because it threatens the comfort provided by the conspiracy. This is done in one of two ways. Either the critic is too dumb to see the intricacies of the conspiracy, and is thus contributing to it by ignoring it; or they're actively helping the conspirators to cover up the truth. The unconsidered third option: that the critic is just not convinced by the evidence, is undesirable because it would create a reason to doubt the comforting belief.
The two ways of derogating critics have distinct, self-serving functions. In believing that some critics are too dumb to see their special knowledge, theorists establish their superiority. In believing that other critics are part of the conspiracy, theorists are manufacturing evidence to support their special knowledge. I'm assuming that's not what you meant when you posted it. My assumption is that you view that piece of proof the media are trying to cast doubt on the validity of conspiracy theories, and discredit the theorists, and find it intuitively obvious that everyone else should see it the same way, or else they're part of the conspiracy to discredit the conspiracy theorists. I like that notion. I mean, it's kinda fun. Conspiracies can be nested fractally. |
