The story was she pointed to Bangladesh
Jan 28, 2020, 5:11 PM
|
|
There's no way to really know what happened. She claims she "pointed to Ukraine," but if she pointed to the wrong place on the map, then she obviously wouldn't have known it.

She graduated magna ### laude from Harvard AND...
Jan 28, 2020, 5:20 PM
|
|
master's in European studies at Emmanuel College, Cambridge.
So, to think she couldn't find Ukraine on a map is hard to believe. Also, consider how petty and unprofessional Pompeo's letter was in its wording and the fact that NPR provided evidence that Kelly brought up asking about Ukraine before the interview (showing that Pompeo was incorrect/lying when he said she didn't).

The point was that Lemon, et al. were discussing the claim that she couldn't find Ukraine on the map, not that Trump and his followers couldn't. But they made their discussion about Trumpian ignorance.

I mean, if somebody calls another person an elitist liberal because they can identify a country on a map, they kinda earned what's coming to them. I guess you could find a reason to be "offended" about the poor southern accent impression, but you'd have to try pretty hard. Obama and Trump both had/have blocs of voters that their intelligent, educated supporters would consider somewhat embarrassing, but that they feel some sort of obligation to defend.

Again, they weren't talking about Trump.
Jan 28, 2020, 5:55 PM
|

And there was no discussion of someone calling someone elitist because they could identify a country.
They were talking about Pompeo which immediately morphed to Trump slams, which (unprompted) moved right into mocking his supporters. "Credulous boomer rubes"....bad redneck accents....acting like Trump supporters mocking education. They just confirmed what's pretty apparent; A large portion of proud card-carrying Democrats are fueled by delusions of grandeur and elitism.

a large portion isn't really generalizing. It could be 5%,
Jan 28, 2020, 6:14 PM
|
|
it could be 50%....who knows and I certainly didn't say, unlike the anchors who characterized all (not some, not a portion, not a percentage---all) Trump supporters as they did.
I know who Rick Wilson is, and I was primarily referring to Lemon who was snickering like a schoolboy the entire time.
I learned a long time ago that you don't judge any population by their worst 5%...someone should share that with those three guys.

Would most say three guys represents "a large portion"?
Jan 28, 2020, 6:23 PM
|
|
especially when at least one of them isn't part of the group you say they are representing?
Lemon seems to be laughing (or starts laughing) at the joke Wilson makes at Trump's expense of not being able to identify Ukraine if it had a picture of a crane and the letter "U" on it. And he looks like he isn't even listening to the rest of what's said, but maybe he is.
I would agree with you on your last sentence.

Rick Wilson, who is from the south, uses a southern accent to make fun of some trump supporters. You can be outraged at that if you want.
You might want to look Rick Wilson up. This his what he does (he doesn't usually use a southern accent, I will grant you).

Jan 28, 2020, 6:45 PM

Its told that he has no black support due to his racism.
Are you saying that Trump has enough black supporters in the south to warrant such a hasty generalized caricature of his supporters?
And if he does, isn't Rick Wilson demeaning their intelligence by mocking them offensive to you?

CT88 says Trump has 30% of the black vote
Jan 28, 2020, 6:53 PM
|

no, I'm saying I think rick (specifically because of the accent) is connecting southern/dumb/old with trump supporters who cry foul at "elitist" liberals/democrats for being "smart" or "knowing things." The other guy joins in but never uses a southern accent (at least that I could tell). You can be offended by this characterization and that's fine. I've lived my whole life in the south and fully am aware of the stereotypes we carry. Rick is from the South (not sure if he spent his entire life here) so he might just be mocking the trump supporters he encounters, but it is probably likely he thinks most trump supporters believe similar things and it's fine to be upset at the characterization he is showing.

Have you no shame? How dare you steal the go too insult from the far left. Racism is the first card they play.
And there's nothing racist about mocking a regional accent. I've been mocking New York City for years.

She knew where it was without question. She had probably been there. She is a veteran foreign reporter who is very respected. Moreover, most people with basic European travel or a slightly above average education should know where it is. Its huge and right next to Russia. It can't be confused. Its the 2nd largest country in Europe. She knew 100%.

There's no way to really know what happened. She claims she "pointed to Ukraine," but if she pointed to the wrong place on the map, then she obviously wouldn't have known it.
Message was edited by: camcgee®
Sorry Cam, but that is nonsense. Mary Louis Kelly has a Masters Degree from Cambridge University in European Studies. That and Bangladesh borders Thailand, 3700 miles from Ukraine. So no, it's not possible that she pointed to Bangladesh. Pompeo is being a petty
Another interesting question is why does Pompeo have a blank map of the world? Is it his go to 'gotcha' for people that disagree with him? Also, I find it telling that he kicked another journalist from NPR out of the press pool for his upcoming trip. Pompeo is falling apart I think. The stress of having to defend Potus all the time may be getting to him.

Do the people in that video need to specify they meant white people when they said what they said?
Are there enough southern, black Trump supporters to create a stereotype identity that need to be separated from a southern, white Trump supporters sterotype?
And if they did specify they meant they were demeaning white people, does that somehow make their bigotry better?

To make your argument, yes they would have to say "white"
Jan 28, 2020, 7:27 PM

Rick (who is white), is connecting old, southern, dumb, and trump supporter together. I think you can be offended by that if you fit into any of those criteria. But, he never says "white" so you're inserting that belief into your argument when it's not backed up by anything other than your assumption.

I didn't hear a southern accent, just a "dumb" person accent
Jan 28, 2020, 6:39 PM

in the way he said his sentences.
Rick uses a southern and dumb accent (just to clarify that these are two distinct accents).

"Rick uses a southern and dumb accent (just to clarify that these are two distinct accents)"
So now he was using the Southern accent?
Listen to the recording again.."the other guy" on the far left was using an affect that certainly wasn't real. I'm sure you'll argue however that it isn't 'necessarily' a southern accent.
At some point, probably not long from now, someone in the media will use an Ebonics affect, or mock a middle easterner, and be called out for it.
I'll be sure to remind you of your reasoning you've attempted today.

At least you'll admit that.
I'm not supporting Trump. I haven't mentioned anything they said derogatory about Trump. As a southerner, all i have to do is tell someone what time it is and I am lumped into your stereotype, that these "journalists" are perpetuating.

Yeah, me too. But I've never minded it. My family is from Oconee County, SC where Deliverance was filmed. My grandfather was a moonshiner till he became a preacher. So I get that whole 'squeal like a pig" thing thrown at me. I don't really care.
Southerners know that we play dumb to take Northerners money on land deals.

Yep, that's it. I'm surprised you haven't criticized the blatant partisanship of Hannity, Dobbs, Carlson, Ingraham....etc, etc.
In other words, if it comes from left-leaning media it's terrible, but if it comes from right-leaning media it's the truth and patriotic.

Unlike MSNBC, CNN, ABC and CBS who compete for the same viewers none of them compete with Fox. Fox never insults the integrity or intelligence of the viewer.

Right. Only conservatives can stand Fox after 6pm. They insult the intelligence of every non-conservative who might be watching after that. No one is as over the top, and propagandist as Hannity. For a year he tried to convince his viewers that Seth Rich, who was robbed and murdered on the street, was killed by the DNC for leaking emails. It was all a lie, he doesn't get a Mulligan for that. Rich's parents finally sued Fox and the 2 Murdoch sons told Hannity to shut his stupid mouth.

Actually, at 6 Baier newcast begins.
Jan 28, 2020, 7:18 PM
|

Bret is fair as rain. After his show Mccallum's news program airs and it's a bit more conservative than Baier but not enough to taint news. Both have panels of guest who discuss current events in a fair and balanced way.
After that comes the crazies, Carlson and Hannity. Much of what they say is true and Carlson constantly disagrees with Trump on certain subjects. Hannity has John Solomon on regularly and JS broke the FISA abuse story on Hannity's show. There's plenty of accurate negative things to say about Hannity but he was correct in standing firm on the Russian collusion hoax.
Both, Carlson and Hannity are entertainment and not intended to be news though both have interesting guest like Dershowitz and professionals in a variety of science fields. I only watch either when their guest are covering topics I am interested in.
You should try Bret Baier's show at 6PM. It's as close to unbiased news as you'll find anywhere.

Not that I know of, but it goes pretty deep as far the nutty things that are said on Fox about liberals. There is a lot of more overt hate going on over there. The liberals usually take a more a smug approach.

of what they were saying.
Imagine if 3 white Fox reporters were mimicking Ebonics and a middle eastern accent, talking about how stupid the people they were mocking were?
There would be boycotts and demands for them all to be fired--yesterday, and then be 'cancelled'.

I'll refer you here:
https://www.tigernet.com/forum/message/My-point-exactly-26812552
It starts to go off the rails however when deweather illogically argues that Rick Wilson didn't specifically mean white people, and later, that Rick has two distinct accents he uses for "dumb" people and "southerners".

I don't hear the southern accent on the other guy's attempt as, to me, he's emulating "dumb person" speech. The only push back I've given is that at no point do they say anything about "whites" and so you're just assuming that part of their critique.
As for your second question, I don't think that video clip matters in the larger political game being played. But, maybe I'll be proven wrong...

attempts at defending this. It ranges from "I don't think the other guy was using an accent" to "Rick has two accents he uses..one is the "dumb guy" accent, and the other is a "southerner" acccent".
My favorite justification by far is that "How do you know Rick was talking about White Trump supporters?" Because you know...there are so many southern, black Trump supporters.
Catahoula's is pretty good too though I guess. "Just get a thicker skin" that two guys on an international new program are making fun of an entire region, and race. Nice.
Can you imagine using any of those reasons if the reporters had been Fox news reporters?

Spartanburg, bruh. Born and raised. And when I speak, I can't hide it.
I just don't get upset when people make fun of the South or our accents or whatever. You know, when people know that upsets you, they tend to do it more.
I'm also aware Spartanburg sucks, so you won't hurt my feelings piling on the hate. So do as you will.

I tend to refer to Fox News when I'm thinking of Carlson, Hannity, Ingraham, Bondigo, Fox and Friends, Jesse Waters..etc, because they work for Fox News.
You are correct that there is a difference between Fox News and opinion. But they sprinkle in some of the opinion people in over the course of a day. Greg Gutfield, Harris Falkner...not straight news.
They mix it in all day.

But CNN’s online articles are much more objective than Fox’s. Also CNN clearly identify their opinion articles (which are biased) as opinion, whereas Fox presents theirs as “news.”

Here, I could have saved y'all time.
1. Don Lemon sucks and isn't a credible journalist. Don't take anything he does seriously. 2. Rick Wilson is an actual Republican conservative. 3. He's dead-on making fun of Trumpies who think they're smart while somehow laughing at "liberal elitism". Which is just their code words for someone who is smarter than them. 4. If you're butthurt by #3, you're kind of proving my point. Smart people don't get butthurt when people crack jokes like that.
There. Saved y'all time.
