I don't watch news, I only catch headlines at the gym, and soon I noticed that the entire right wing media was obsessed with these two women and so then it clicked and I understood why psd chose these two random women out of the blue to attack. Because in the media world it wasnt out of the blue, it was front and center. That's the power of media.

I know she's a politician, but as mentioned there are over 500 other politicians who are working in the same exact capacity. So statistically I'd expect her to be talked about 1/500th of the time. It never occurred to me that the right media would take the time to make an entire story about a congress person talking about their garbage disposal. But they did.

it's not random. these are people specifically putting themselves in the news. no one decided to randomly cover minority Democrat women for no reason.
AOC especially is outspoken. like Trump she doesn't really have a filter and talks a lot. of course because of that the media is going to cover her.

Ummm...he is the president; the media kind of have to cover him.

Her? Well, they choose to cover her. Why?

Can you spell m-o-n-e-y?

Lol, actually people DID decide to randomly cover them, that's what's so funny about this whole thing. It's identity politics at its finest. They've even convinced YOU that one of these women is antisemitic.

This is the point of media. To control people's thinking.

Money? To me if just seems to be about controlling narratives. If you look at the average trump supporter they will usually have a lot of hate in their heart for a Muslim, or a Latina, so these are the perfect characters to get them all frenzied and riled up over.

Imagine if, you know, instead of handing out massive amounts of money to executives whose chief desire is to run a profit we....didn't.

Single payer. Now. Hell, let Trump negotiate drug prices himself like he said he wanted to. Anything is better than this "free market" in healthcare.

Any opinions from our right wing posters?

The silence speaks VOLUMES

Yeah, but the bottom line is that the media outlets use that “hatred” to sucker these nitwits into using more of their media product.

All of which translates into money for them.

I was gonna say, AOC does something legitimately awesome and I expect to read about that but all I get is this back and forth over how much she is covered. I think everyone should be happy that she called Pharma out for this.

Nasty doesn't need a CNN poll to spout out that BS. He has that **** made up in his own head. He projects his own racism on others. I think it makes him feel better.

Just Google it. I'd rather have shown you the polls from 2016 since that wasn't specific to 7 countries, but you get the idea...

Dbronc is right, I really don't need a poll, I live it so I know it without any poll. But white people usually need these type a things to understand concepts that are obvious to us, so I did it for the sake of my white brederin *fist in the air*

It's crystal clear you don't need a poll to be racist. You don't need to explain yourself. You hate white people. We get it already.
