“Wreck Fox” and start a MAGA channel?

What does Parler say about this?

[jon-nyc]

Someone called Parler “MeinSpace” the other day.

As much as I roll my eyes at the reductio ad Hitlerum I couldn’t help but laugh.

[Klaus]

In what sense is that a Hitler reference, apart from "Mein" being German?

Only to Americans that don’t know German besides a handful of words and phrases, one of them being “Mein Kampf”

[Klaus]

Interesting. We have a couple of words that have some kind of Nazi vibe associated to it, but "Mein" is not among them.

[jon-nyc]

Of course not.

@Klaus , just out of curious, from a German perspective, how would you improve on “MeinSpace” to make it more Hitlery?

So when you hear ciao mein what do you think of?

How many Germans does it take to change a lightbulb?

Nein.

Well, a few of our TNCR regulars do seem to relish this theater fight.

Which would be fine but for the long-term damage to the institution itself.

Replace "Space" by "Lebensraum" and you have a first-class Hitler reference. It would loose its similarity to MySpace, of course.

If you were a journalist, would you want to work for a Trump channel? Does anyone honestly think he could keep his hands out of the content?

What makes you think Trump wants to hire journalists? He'd hire anyone who is willing to write what he wants and give them the "journalist" titles.

I think you need an insert here for the name. Like Zucker, Baquet.

Furthermore #cancelculture should be Time Magazine’s Person Of The Year.

Are you kidding? They'll eat Trump steaks every day, drink Trump vodka every night, get free enrollment in Trump University, free accessories from The Donald Trump signature collection, and they'll literally be able to bathe in the sweet smell of Success (a Donald Trump fragrance)

Working for him will be like sex, only better.

Like I told you before, the long term damage was done by the democrats.

The institution really wasn't intended to be made up of tv networks making projections.
