CNN, WaPo and NBC have had to pay him off for their deliberate slander.

Billions in lawsuits still pending for
ABC, CBS, The Guardian, HuffPost, NPR, Slate, The Hill, and Gannett.

Imagine what Rittenhouse is going to get? :oldlol:

He was labeled a white supremacist. Meanwhile 2 days after his verdict these same media outlets falsely said the murders of the Christmas parade killer was an "accident" and driver was being chased by police when in reality he was trying to kill white people for the Rittenhouse verdict

meh. the kid's playing the victim and is getting a big time handout over it. get over it and move on with your life. it's gonna be detrimental to his ambition and motivation going forward, if it's in the numbers i'm thinking it is.

rittenhouse is a different story altogether though. i wouldn't complain about him getting some dough.

[Long Duck Dong]

He is playing the victim and I don't have that big of a problem with it. The media dragged him into the spotlight not the other way around. He was just horsing around with his friends but the media hated Trump and was looking to punish anyone wearing a MAGA hat. They like to spank people for their behavior, it's good that they themselves are taken over the knee every once in a while. They are undeniably a little more honest today because of what this kid's lawyers are doing to them

Tbh it's still worth it for these media companies, which represent the big picture ambitions of oligarch interests.

America's minority population has been steadily growing and will continue to. The way to keep these people in line is with the 'white supremacist out to get ya' narrative. Cling to your leaders on the left for protection from the white supremacists that want to destroy you. And of course the right has historically used the reverse narrative. It's a tried and true method that can be applied in any country with any races. Big Corp can always recoup the money they pay out for these lawsuits. The important thing is making sure people are scared enough to abide by their leaders' agendas. The white supremacy thing is the most important tool in the bag for that right now.

I mean... it works. They do it because it works. The average person is fear/emotion driven, not confident and rational. So it works.

It'll probably always work.

Good for him. Its bad enough that the mainstream media is 100% left leaning. But if they're gonna outright slander people then they deserve to feel the pain train.

Why is it good?
I thought Cons were against people being butthurt, and frivolous lawsuits?

Because big media tried to dish out a lesson to a bunch of 16 year olds and now one of them is taking these corporate elites to school. The bullies are getting bullied if you will

Only when it suits them politically. They are hypocrites just like anyone out there

But it wasn't a frivolous lawsuit you dingbat. CNN and MSNBC went in front of the world and painted this kid as some monster. They were dead wrong, and now they must pay. So hold this L, and maybe you clowns will think twice before labeling someone you don't like as some sort of evil monster or White Supremacist just cause they don't vote the way you do.

CNN and MSNBC lie for a living. Their is no political gain in seeing these vipers eat crow and lose money for their lies.

Many people do not comprehend what a big deal this is.

The media has gotten so brazen ever since Trump ran for President. I remember back in the day if there was video of a guy shooting someone, he would always be referred to as the alleged shooter. That wasn't because of journalistic integrity, but because you can't ruin someone's reputation else you would get sued. And it's not because of hurt feelings, but because DEFAMATION RUINS LIVES.

Now we're in an era where the media very knowingly lies. Completely make up stuff about people. That's why the Kyle Rittenhouse case was such a major thing (though not the only example). They literally made people believe that Kyle Rittenhouse was an active shooter hunting down and killing black people. (And lets not forget the crossing state lines.) They play their viewers as utter fools. And do you think the usual suspects resent the fact that they were made a fool? No, the usual suspects absolutely don't care. In this thread alone you see this Chick Stern and this Blade guy. The lying works because a good percentage of people just don't care if they are taken for fools.

I know you're a gimmick account but whatever.

The media has to knowingly lie and they have to push false narratives or they are out of business.

The internet in conjunction with smartphones and advanced algorithms that capture people's attention for hours on end has literally forcibly changed their business model.

And we're all worse off for it.

[Shogon]

People seem to think Obama polarized the country or that Trump polarized the country.

I still maintain that for prototypical people walking the streets, most aren't that polarized.

But the ones that are polarized are more hysterical than ever and it's not because of Trump nor is it because of Obama.

It's because of advanced algorithms that are literally doing your thinking for you, you stupid ****ing monkeys.
