2023-01-13 - Ali Breland of Mother Jones: Reporting reaching out with some questions about KF for a story

[Instant_Pot_User]

That's even worse than expected. It's like it was written by an angry 15 year old girl.

I picked up on how breathless the article is and wondered, 'What makes this any different from some jackass expositing on his personal blog?'

Then I remembered that someone is stupid enough to pay for this garbage.

 

[Meat Target]

And outside of Taylor Lorenz retweeting and Ali Breland (the author) responding to Taylor there is no engagement.

Because nobody with a life cares about us. We're a cabal of dumb assholes shitposting about retards on the internet.

 

[Squatty Potty]

Come on guys, cut them a break. Their only other story for the day is an article about how Paw Patrol and Peppa Pig, two TV shows for toddlers in preschool, are evil, brainwashing propaganda because they show the police in a non-negative light!

I'm shocked they didn't go for the classic "'Thomas the Tank Engine' Promotes Fascism to Children".

 

[Synthetic Smug]

The mask is really off. It's heartbreaking but also liberating. So much of what passes for information is really just fanfiction.

If I blame anything about the present day on this in particular it's the way that a consumerist information society exalts intelligence as the greatest of all the virtues. The result being that people are desperate to appear smart and have others tell them that they're smart. These things are often the opposite of learning anything worthwhile.

Journalists are the Jews of professions

 

[notafederalagent]

If you check out his twitter, you'll see some interesting stuff, like him shilling for federal authority, and retweeting a propaganda book about Waco, despite his bio saying that he writes about disinformation.

Anyone who gets paid money to write about Mis-, Dis-, or Malinformation (MDM) is usually guilty of spreading what they're claiming to fight. The whole thing is meant to be a thought terminating cliche that they can use to vilify ideas and people they don't agree with.

 

[Ralph Barnhardt]

What if they found another Josh Moon in Pensacola, Florida?

Nonsense. If there were two Josh Moons in Florida, let alone Pensacola, he'd either already be dead or the world would explode.

I want to get in front of something going on in this thread, which is an unstated assumption that this article in particular is an egregious example of journalistic manipulation. No, that's just the first half of Gell-Mann amnesia

I wonder if we're past a tipping point of almost all, if not all, news if just made up bullshit. Too many times we've seen example after example of news outlets vomiting out and out lies and those lies are based on someone else's bad reporting who's based on someone else's bad reporting in a never ending, self-referential spiral.

Camel-humping coward doesn't wanna be called out for lying.

Camel-humped judging by his soft demeanor.

Well, look who the catlady dragged in.

We pointed out that no one can confirm he age and speculate that she's over 40. We must be destroyed no matter how many times she must cry on camera.

This is the Kiwi Farm's 'Hackers on Steroids' moment. Welcome, autists, to the INTERNET HATE MACHINE 2.0.

This isn't your dad's exploding van!

Mentally and emotionally speaking, that's pretty much what modern "journalists" are.

 

[Illuminati Order Official]

It must be so hard for the poor journos being told "nobody gives a shit bro".

I suspect it's even worse: some journos are told to make their stories either truthful or at least probable.

The best psyop is the one that gets other people to stop listening to the bad people with bad ideas.

"What have they NOT lied about?"

It's a question that makes me shudder.

It really is a malicious mindset. You see this with a lot of online midwits like MovieBob, where being "smart" or intelligent is equated with being "good." Never mind all of the truly horrible people in history who did horrible things who also happened to be very smart or intelligent.

 

[JamusActimus]

Fuck that nigger.

"I spend years on this article"


What a fucking retard.

 

[Absolutego]

Mother Jones must be truly starved for content. They've already Tweeted(not retweeted) the article 4 times and it just came out this morning.

Look at how overlong and meandering the article is, this has probably been Ali's sole task for the last month. Of course they're promoting the shit out of it.

 

[Evil Peter Griffin]

Nonsense. If there were two Josh Moons in Florida, let alone Pensacola, he'd either already be dead or the world would explode.

What if they found the real Josh Moon and the one we've been with is the fake?

 

[Tiggletown]

The easiest way to get the right answer is to say the wrong answer.

This thread alone has enough of Nulls info and site stances to write five more articles for him.

“They find so-called Lolcows, who in general are trans or disabled and economically precarious. They want to un-employ them. They want to un-house them,” said Fong-Jones, “so that they are homeless, have nowhere to go, and will kill themselves.

Confession through projection Mr. Jones?

Watch this mutate into "free speech is a perverted, dystopian idea".

Back in reality, Kiwifarms is a great forum for making fun of subhuman kike-loving conservative QAnon retards. As an actual Muslim, unlike this faggot Ali, I have greatly enjoyed shitting on QAnon mongs here.

 

[The Mass Shooter Ron Soye]

That is a third eye opening amount of lies in one article. But I want to get the Washington Post fact checkers on this one:

Moon did not respond to a list of questions sent to him by Mother Jones.

You may think that the poop quality starts from the first paragraph, or the headline, but it actually starts in the URL, which has "chanlder" in it.
