The Media Fellating Thread

[taiwan_girl]

We had a similar discussion in an earlier thread when I asked what was the definition of a religious person.

Who sets the rules.

favor abortion? Not a christian
favor killing people who favor abortion? Christian

I am not a religious person because I think too many people try to hide behind religion, using it as a "crutch" in both good times and bad.

Hate to use President Trump as an example, but he "embrace" religion when he was running for President. Do I think he was religious? No, but he seemed to think (or was told) that that was something that would make him seem more agreeable to people.

Does President Biden really religious? Maybe not.

Does it really matter? Does that make a person a better President? I seriously doubt it.

You can't be a deeply religious Catholic and support abortion. You just can't.

Bullshit. I know many.

Then they aren't Catholic, let alone Christian.

Hiding behind "the Truth is what it is" to justify lack of empathy when discussing the matter doesn't seem very Christian to me, either.

Seem doesn't enter into it. You want to argue the point, pick up a Bible and beat your head against it. It's an unequivocal, clearly explained deal breaker.

You cannot wantonly kill innocent human life on one hand and declare yourself a practicing Christian on the other.

I'm not at all arguing that point. You blew right past what I was talking about.

People who were quite happy to accept the frankly quite ludicrous position of He Who Shall Not Be Named as a devout Christian are absolutely never going to accept Joe Biden as a believer.

It's almost as if there's some kind of double standard.

Personally, I find the number of supposedly devout people of faith taking an active part in the world's dirtiest sport vaguely vomit-inducing. They need to stop claiming they're bloody religious, or they need to get a different job.

I don't think anybody ever said President Trump was a devout Christian. And I don't think he ever claimed that, either.

That's very wrong.

I don't see the point of the joke. That's literally what the press corps does.

At least one person said he was sent by God, who clearly hasn't lost His famous sense of humour.

Obviously, saying HE WAS SENT BY GOD! doesn't belong in the media fellating thread, it deserves a title all of its own.

There is a movie about this: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8235296/

Somehow, I'll guess that the former FLOTUS speaks at least 3 more languages than this asshat at NBC.

Actually, it was said Caligula was sent by God.

Care to go around the theological bush on that one?

John Hagee said Hitler was sent by God to help the Jews get to the promised land.

As we all know, people say unbelievably stupid shit all the time, but I reckon that guy must practice.

Biden gave a talk about buying additional vaccines in which he twice gets confused and talks about being able to vaccinate 300 Americans. Every news outlet has edited those parts out. The editing is quite jarring too.

[George K]

Can you circle back on us on that regarding the China power grid question?

He's absolutely hilarious. I used to tune into these shows after I came back from the pub. I remember thinking he reminded me of a sweaty little bowling ball.

All through the speech Biden mentions various quantities of doses -- 100 million, 200 million, and so forth. I think any idiot would recognize a simple omission and not conclude that OMG IT'S THE DEMENTIA!!!!!

From a few corrections inserted between brackets, he actually does it more than once. If you did it, it would be no big deal. If I did it, it would be no big deal. But in Biden, of course, it's OMG DEMENTIA!

Not for nuttin, his remarks that I have redd from the beginning of his term seem coherent and organized. FWIW. IMO the dementia thing has been falling apart like a cheap suit from the get-go.
