DCP finally sticking his nose out a bit angers Mormons

[Dr. Shades]

The media’s. Anyone else doing so is a bonus, not a requirement.

You’re the one that inserted “media” into the conversation.

Umm, yeah. And?

Funny thing is DCP is in the media, lol.

I might be IN my house, but that doesn't mean I AM my house.

Drumdude is justified in wanting him to speak up about the walking colostomy bag, since DCP regularly is featured in all sorts of media and he talks about politics, religion, traveling, and gastronomy.

He can talk about whatever the Hell he wants to talk about. That hardly obligates him to talk about EVERYTHING.

You feeling all right, man?

Yes, I am. Are you?

You created a straw man. ??

DCP himself generates media. A refresher:

You: Since when is it his job to speak up about it?

Nobody suggested it was his job to speak about politics. When pressed you said it’s “the media’s” job to talk about Trump.

DCP literally creates or generates media, reports on news, offers up op eds, hosts interviews, debates, lectures, shitposts, writes books and so forth.

Then you quibble that he’s IN the media, but not THE media. Oh. Ok. Guess nobody IN the media is actually THE media.

Perhaps I should’ve been more clear: “The professional news media.”

[Doctor CamNC4Me]

Ok. I’m intrigued. Please provide five professional media sources you regularly consume and trust to report the news accurately.

KNRS news radio is the only professional media source I “consume,” and even that’s relatively uncommon. If I ever watched them, I’d trust any nightly news program on any of the major networks.

[Doctor CamNC4Me]

So you listen to one “news” source, and blindly trust “nightly news” on “any” station.

Drumdude,

I think you can safely ignore Dr. Questions since he has the discernment of a muskrat.

I guess it is the nature of the thread subject matter that brings out the grumpy.

No, the "grumpiness" comes through loud and clear on other threads too unfortunately.

So you listen to one “news” source, . . .

Why the scare quotes? Is KNRS news radio—which only comes on for a few minutes each at the top and bottom of the hours—unreliable? If so, explain how and I will disregard that source.

. . . and blindly trust “nightly news” on “any” station.

I never said I would “blindly trust” the nightly news (if I ever bothered to watch it). I’m simply inclined to trust it more than other sources because I haven’t heard it being harangued the way people do FOX News or CNN.

But again, if you find any of the network news programs to be unreliable, please explain why they are and thereby correct my misunderstanding (if any).

I think you can safely ignore Dr. Questions since he has the discernment of a muskrat.

Like I said, I’m willing to be corrected. Educate me about what I’m wrong—if anything—and I’ll gladly adopt your point of view. Deal?

Either way, I don’t see what any of this has to do with some guy with a blog magically being obligated to speak up against Donald Trump. If he’s the media, then everyone else with an obscure blog is magically obligated to speak out against Trump too, I guess?

[I Have Questions]

At least Peterson is exercising his democratic right to speak up against tyranny. What’s that phrase… “ the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing”. The question shouldn’t be about Peterson speaking up, it should be about who isn’t speaking up, and why. For instance, God’s spokesperson on earth seems fairly mute on the matter, favouring political neutrality in the matter. Just like 1930’s Germany. Or God is in favour of Trumpism for His “promised land” in America.
