B-Man Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 NY Times: Democrats Have A Problem Appealing To Latino Men https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/05/us/politics/latino-voters-democrats.html Erik Ortiz, a 41-year-old hip-hop music producer in Florida, grew up poor in the South Bronx, and spent much of his time as a young adult trying to establish himself financially. Now he considers himself rich. And he believes shaking off the politics of his youth had something to do with it. “Everybody was a liberal Democrat — in my neighborhood, in the Bronx, in the local government,” said Mr. Ortiz, whose family is Black and from Puerto Rico. “The welfare state was bad for our people — the state became the father in the Black and brown household and that was a bad, bad mistake.” Mr. Ortiz became a Republican, drawn to messages of individual responsibility and lower taxes. To him, generations of poor people have stayed loyal to a Democratic Party that has failed to transform their lives. “Why would I want to be stuck in that mentality?” he said. I’ve written about the Democrats’ assumptions about demographic destiny before. Basically, the belief for a long time has been that once we become a “majority minority” country, Democrats will sweep ever election for perpetuity. But as Andrew Sullivan argued a couple weeks ago, that whole idea could turn out to be a fairy tale. In fact, he argues (based on a book called “The Great Demographic Illusion“) that it’s more likely Latinos will intermarry with white Americans to the point that they become one big demographic. https://hotair.com/archives/john-s-2/2021/02/22/andrew-sullivan-majority-minority-myth/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm so confused. It's hard to tell with you what is a hoax and what is not. On the bright side, at least you didn't post some whack job cartoon today. So that's a step in the right direction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pathetic Maybe he's a fake Trumper. I don't know. It's hard to keep it straight with these guys. One day Fox News is great. The next day they're a bunch of pinkos. Then the NYT is a failing fake news symposium. Until it's not. Kinda like Rudy. And Syd Rice. And Jared. It's like the WWE. Things turn on a dime, and you just can't see the plot twist coming. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Blitz Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 (edited) Hey remember this episode of "You're Being Played?" The one where Trump threatened the Georgia Election Investigation? Stunning another plot twist: News Outlets Issue Major Corrections After Botching Reports On December Phone Call Between Trump, GA Election Investigator At least two major news outlets have issued corrections following the publication of an audio recording of a December phone call between then-President Donald Trump and a top Georgia elections investigator. The Wall Street Journal published audio last week of a December 23 phone call between Trump and Frances Watson, the chief investigator of the Georgia Secretary of State’s office. The audio recording debunked multiple news reports that attributed fake quotes to Trump. Initial reports by CNN and The Washington Post said that Trump urged Watson to “find the fraud,” telling her she would be a “national hero,” according to archived versions of the stories. The president said neither line, according to the audio recording, and the lines have been cut from both stories. Both outlets cited a single source familiar with the call. It is unknown whether each outlet spoke with the same anonymous source to get the falsified quotes. https://www.dailywire.com/news/news-outlets-issue-major-corrections-after-botching-reports-on-december-phone-call-between-trump-ga-election-investigator Edited March 15, 2021 by Big Blitz 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Journos have one job and they routinely suck at it. Unfortunately, they don’t suck at it, they’re extremely adept at it. They know with reasonable certainty that a falsely reported story has very little fallout, and that the best way to shape the narrative is the “anonymous source”. Another poster on the board would often scoff at the mere suggestion that anonymous sourcing could be problematic, citing cases just like this: “Multiple sources reported the same thing (thus it’s gotta be true....right??)”. It happened with Russia, Ukraine, the election and the fact is people don’t care of they’re manipulated by the press so long as they get what they need. It was always funny to hear them complain about Trump lies, while getting fed bull#### from iron clad sources like the WaPo, and celebrating the election of honest Joe Biden.
