Maybe this could be put in another thread, but it's broadly relevant-the organiser of the Womens' March giving the exact same salute and calling for Sharia law in the US. And I checked on google-it seems a few months old, not sure why I noticed it today.....the good news is the last few days have seen massive bombardmentof ISIS fighters.
SBW, you're dead to me.

Because both sides are a similar size. What media outlet doesn't want to target half the potential audience?
He's at 40% popularity across the US right now. So thats 60% flat out dont like him... And a richer 60%. If you look at all his demographics he won the very poor, lost the educated. IE his 40% have no money. So in pure marketing terms, unless I'm selling Oxy & double wides, I'd not necesarily be rushing to link with him...
No Trump suporters are canceling their subsciptions to the FT & NYT on the back of current reporting
Thought you would have learned your lesson trusting polls
Shame the news media just can't go back to informing the public no matter who they voted for, or more to the point no matter who's THEY voted for.

An impartial press? I think we'll see Trump turn up with a number one haircut before we ever see that.
News outlets are businesses and have target markets. At the moment they appear to think that Trump supporters are not in those markets.
They may have to come around if their ability to inform their market is impaired in a battle with the Oval Office, but at the moment both sides think they will win out. -

They were genuinely confused when Trump kept winning, yet alone when he won the election.
Little to do with target markets, they have built a story and it rates well. Particularly as Trump loves using it to distract everyone from serious stuff.

You don't think they recognise that it is their market that doesn't like Trump? This concept that the press is creating a story that isn't there is crazy. The popular vote and the demographics of that vote point to them preaching to the converted (as you say, it rates well).
Yes, they seemed confused about the win but that's because they were listening to their own market without recognising that some unpolled folk had snuck in the back door and ruined the party.
I think they are also taking a long term punt that they want to be seen to have been on the 'right side'. They are banking on this administration being a failure. -

Just a bunch of sore losers with vaginas having a huge moan over nothing.
Hey if you want to get excited about a whole bunch of sore loser Clinton supporters wandering about with vaginas on their heads, no problem.
I almost like the way you tried to roll that back after Cato called you on it.

I think we've learned the leson is to maintain eye contact with her. She can fake liking you for as long as you are looking at her
So you would be going missionary all the way? No doggy unless there was a mirror?

Not sure whether to comment on this here or in the NZ Politics thread but it is tenuously related to Trump.
I guess the NZ Media are frothing at the bung trying to find out how Peter Thiel gained NZ Citizenship. NZ Residency I can understand but apparently he didn't have to go through Overseas Investment hoops for his property purchase because of being a citizen. As far as anyone can see the only way he gained citizenship was through a ministerial exception. -

No the lesson we have learnt here is that some people who distribute videos like that are are still seriously butt hurt that Clinton lost.
