Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.

If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.

Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.

Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.

Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.

Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.

"charismatic" figures such as Alan Dershowitz

they are dabbing on us

[–] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 77 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

basically admitting that they, the media executives, directly control the range of acceptable political debate

[–] FnordPrefect@hexbear.net 71 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Goddamnit...we're going to have a Pedophile Pride parade in the next 6 months, aren't we? doomjak

[–] Posadas@hexbear.net 75 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

It's actually called July 4th.

[–] PKMKII@hexbear.net 18 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Welcome to A Capital Fourth, with this year’s tribute to all the times our Founding Fathers knocked up their underaged slaves.

bravely committing to nobody ever watching CBS news

My instinctive reaction to reading “pedolawyer” was “which one?”

[–] BodyBySisyphus@hexbear.net 48 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

What the hell is "40 yards of acceptable debate"? Bari Weiss constantly talks like this, it's like English is her second language because she came here from The Planet of Nonsensical Aphorisms.

[–] XxFemboy_Stalin_420_69xX@hexbear.net 32 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

apparently the actual quote was the 40-yard lines of acceptable debate. i.e., the middle 20% of a football field. so her stated goal is to exclude literally 80% of viewpoints

couldnt ask for a clearer example of the untrustworthiness of the bourgeois press

[–] BodyBySisyphus@hexbear.net 6 points 3 weeks ago

"Our goal is to turn the overton window into an arrow slit"

[–] barrbaric@hexbear.net 28 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Literally the meme of trying to explain politics to an American: "Okay so imagine a football field".

[–] AntiOutsideAktion@hexbear.net 14 points 3 weeks ago

I'm so smart I can make my own idioms in real time

[–] Krauerking@lemy.lol 11 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah they just had go further into it.

Imagine a debate that is only held in the center of the football field and either side only ever starts in the 3rd down and a drunk man questions if this is his moment to streak at any time. Now add in Biden somewhere.. Boom, metaphor complete and every American gets it.

[–] BabyTurtles@hexbear.net 47 points 3 weeks ago

They don't care that Fuetes is a Nazi and Tucker is a ghoul, the line was crossed when they criticized Israel.

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 41 points 3 weeks ago

Is he just there to serve as a lightning rod for the hate? I can't understand how anyone would stand to be around or listen to the dersh.

[–] Rom@hexbear.net 38 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

And of course by "vast majority of Americans" she means "all of the rich dickheads in my social circles." Because if you aren't rich, do you even exist to these people?

NCIS: Martha's Vineyard

Follow the Major Crimes Unit as they uncover antisemitism at every gas station, liquor store, and farmers market vendor that has ever inconvenienced Alan "The Douche" Dersh as he builds a career taking on the most disastrous, unpopular cases for only the richest and most powerful clients in earth.

Grandpa is drunk again and talking about the perogies being antisemitic.

[–] ConcreteHalloween@hexbear.net 31 points 3 weeks ago

Alan: "I didn't even enjoy the penis massage, I don't like fucking children but like any American if I have to I will!"

Bari: "we were talking about red light traffic cameras."

[–] KnilAdlez@hexbear.net 28 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Nothing says charismatic like an 87 year old man. Also, none of those people get their viewership from CBS so I don't know how she plans to cause this 'sidelining'.

[–] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 25 points 3 weeks ago

Some 87 year old guys are charismatic. Alan Dershowitz's (cue the first 8 notes of Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor) sin isn't his lack of charisma or his age, it's his relentless and inexorable path to defend every famous man to murder his wife (to the point of allegedly driving his own to suicide), be a nonce, and silence critics of Israel.

[–] 30_to_50_Feral_PAWGs@hexbear.net 21 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

It's a big club, and we need to start taking out billionaires' kneecaps with it cure-for-fascism

[–] someone@hexbear.net 5 points 3 weeks ago

I think it'd be more fun to use their own golf clubs.

Fore!

probably the first time ever that the dersh has been described as charismatic
