Why the games?

Either stop them, or let them go. This, “you can play around as long as you are not serious” makes no sense to me.

DNM

its all really stupid and a pointless diversion from something. Israel will destroy them before they can get a bomb regardless of what we do.

The following is a love letter to Braineack, who is convinced that "The Media" has a political agenda:

Yeah Project Veritas, on the other hand, is clearly just an unbiased and apolitical 501(c) think-tank with no history of passing off narratives or doctored videos with any sort of political motive. I mean James O'Keefe was an eagle scout for goodness sake.

You know for sure they're telling the truth when you have that much bold white text in a youtube video and put "exposed" in all caps.

Does he claim to be a news organization/press? And has he lost a lawsuit yet?

Keep trying though.

CNN is biased.

Fox news is biased.

At no point did I claim CNN was an unbiased news source? It's just as much of a money-grubbing, political entertainment, for-clicks enterprise as MSNBC, Fox, OAN, or Newsmax. But, so long as everyone with a differing opinion is a sheep buying into the mass conspiracy I guess it's easier to sleep at night eh?

And yes, he both frequently claims to be speaking the unbiased truth, and has settled lawsuits before they could go to trial.

"On Thursday Wonkette revealed that O'Keefe had reached a legal agreement to pay that amount [$100,000] to Juan Carlos Vera, who in 2009 worked for the community organizing group ACORN."
https://www.theatlantic.com/politics...100000/317487/

"A postal worker in Erie, Pennsylvania, claimed that his superiors were backdating postmarks on ballots, then told federal investigators that he didn’t actually know that — and then went back to his original position...

Hopkins first made the allegation anonymously in a
with James O’Keefe, founder of the conservative activist organization Project Veritas, on Nov. 5. Hopkins provided no evidence to support his allegation beyond repeating a conversation he claimed to have overheard. Erie Postmaster Robert Weisenbach, who was targeted in the allegation, told O’Keefe on a phone call included in the original video that the allegation was “untrue.”
https://www.factcheck.org/2020/11/pe...n-fraud-claim/

"Project Veritas paid a former employee named Izzy Santa a five-figure settlement after she threatened to sue. Santa’s settlement included a nondisclosure agreement, and she declined POLITICO’s interview requests. She and O’Keefe had a falling out after she tipped off one of his targets, Abbie Boudreau, about a lewd plan to embarrass her. Boudreau was working for CNN on a documentary about O’Keefe and other young conservative activists at the time."

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/AP_Stylebook

it's basically the guide on how they should write, and do other "journalist" things. Of course you can see in linked tweet they're the ones pushing newspeak at least on some level. Your "unbiased" apnews.com is going to follow many of the methods in this book.

Full_Tilt_Boogie 04-14-2021 04:57 PM

implying there is anything biased about not using the word "mistress"

I wonder if the stylebook ever had to say "use asian american instead of chinaman"

Bajingo 04-14-2021 05:02 PM

Considering how pissed off fox news is about that tweet, yes I'm going to assume they're biased. Also stupid because all that change does is make things less simple and easy to understand.

If I had to guess, I would say probably.

Also, when describing a person, the word "Asian" started to be preferred over "Oriental" during the early 90s. I've never quite understood what the reasoning behind that one was.


Every profession has its standards for the use of language. The American Bar Association, for instance, refers to The Chicago Manual of Style and Strunk & White's The Elements of Style for its publications and journal articles. And pretty much every law school (and law firm) uses The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation.

In Journalism, The New York Times Manual of Style and Usage is another big one.
