The Weird, Random, and Interesting things that Fit Nowhere Else Thread
What is a "guerilla effect" ? Dude should choose his words better (and stop trying to be edgy) and how is ESPN racist here? You can argue they see it where it is not, but doesn't make it racist. "She misses a first serve and Venus is all over her. You see Venus move in (and) put the gorilla [guerrilla] effect on. Charging.”" http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2017/01/19/did-espn-announcer-make-racist-comment-about-venus-williams.html

so-called court of appeals ruling
Theoretically they do have an obligation to be- non ironic usage- fair and balanced plus factual in how they handle the news. If instead they are being hysterical, exaggerating and pandering explicitly to an anti Trump base then they aren't fulfilling that theoretical obligation. Some have already headed towards direct incitement as well. I should probably mention again how much I utterly loathe the use of anonymous sources as the sole basis of news articles, which seems to be the popular methodology for stoking outrage at the moment. Yeah. But nothing so far as being irresponsible with a right. Well as long as they're using accurate darts. I have not noticed incitement but is believable. Anonymous sources are kind of funny after a while. I suppose the US civil service is in revolt, heh.

How is the media being irresponsible with their free speech? Onus is on Trump to deal with it as he's part of the State and (in theory) the media is to be an adversary of the state. Other than that, he should be a bigger man as he just surrenders initiative otherwise.

Ah, thought they were going to dose him with polonium or something with the URL truncation there. Isn't that a case of live by sword though?

Maybe go back and reread my post for your better comprehension? I also mention "you" and "your ancestors" as possible motives for deserving to be on the receiving end of terrorism. I'm sure we can come up with a few more too! Still holds. While seeing someone upset at victim blaming here is a bit amusing, at the level of a state it isn't all that bad (given the abstract nature of it). Suppose you have to look at the attacks at a high level as well.

The "west"? Isn't the party line to trot out the ole "the majority of terrorism happens in ME countries". What did they do to deserve it? Oh yeah, slightly different interpretation of the scripture. I guess pretty much anything is a valid reason huh? Well you were bleating about Crusades and others so you weren't looking at the West? Isn't all that hard to understand things don't reach a point without a lot of hands involved. Ah well.

Amusingly simplistic view. Well unless you believe the West isn't reaping a bit of what they've sown.
