Sacramento Bee Forced to Apologize for False Claims Against Charlie Kirk That Sparked Antifa Riots

.

I worked for one of the largest corporations in the country for quite a few years, and being a yappy soul, I was offered the opportunity to take some media training.  It was pretty interesting—though it should be noted it was not a deep dive into the subject, designed to get you from point A to point B without losing focus in a hostile situation, and pre-dated pretty much all of the technology at one’s disposal today.  I’m thinking 1998, 1999 or so. 
 

The outside firm that presented illustrated the various ways members of the media are trained to manipulate interviewees, organizations and that which you see.  One example was a grainy undercoveresque video showing a truck pulling up to the front of an office and a voice-over about destruction of files and questions about the practice, and what the video actually showed was the normal practice of shredding confidential information on a scheduled basis and a certified destruction company rolling up at about 12:30 in the afternoon. The story was done by a major news network. 
 

Another example is an ambush interview, where reporter approaches some hapless soul walking into the office, typically at a frantic pace, yelling to grab the subject’s attention with the hopes of overwhelming the individual and getting the desired sound bite.   The problem for most people is in stressful situations, they talk…and talk…and talk, some trying to be helpful, some get nervous, and many feel compelled to defend actions that often don’t need to be defended.  
 

At the Sacramento Bee, they surely know the rules of the game, and what they did was most certainly intentional and planned for the reasons outlined in this story.

Suprised to see CNN actually doing an article about these shady Bail PACs that get violent criminals back on the street to create more victims.

Would be better if they actually reported on where or any large sources of that influx of money came from.  

 

same sources funding the marches/riots?

 

BLM still has not disclosed. but we know from the news back then that much of there money was coming from huge corporate donations.

Remember when rolling stone was relevant?

 

Yeah I wasn’t born yet either.

“Um, sorry chuds, but preventing rapes and murders by satanic gangs that rule your country in the stead of a real government is like, really undemocratic.”
 

To paraphrase Chigurh, if democracy brought you to weekly extortion payments to MS-13 as your only avenue to avoid brutal violence, of what use was democracy?

I still can’t figure out the Soros motive for backing these DAs that help drive the same. 
 

He’s too smart not to see the outcomes. 

he’s just secretly anarchist?

Rolling Stone lost whatever it had left with the "Rape on Campus" story featuring "Jackie," a lying attention seeker who basically plagiarized s book to create the story.

Glad they had to pay for that.

Just despicable.

It doesn’t add up. Hates the western world that made him immensely wealthy, the one that overcame the nazi occupation that shapes his early life. 
 

Does he fundamentally believe progressivism is an answer? It contradicts all of his behaviors. 
 

he’s a fascinating dichotomy

Sure but he’s extremely intelligent lucid and rational if you read his work. Way to much so for irrational hate.  There is something more pathological or sinister or out of touch at work here. 

 

It's textbook social engineering. Crafting a low trust society with the perfect blend of anarchy and tyranny helps to justify the coalescence of power and sanctioned violence into the hands of a central government that cares not for its people. Dissolving trust ties in communities and turning nations into mere economic zones helps to make more and more people reliant on faceless agencies and corporations that have zero accountability. At the end of the day, it makes a very small number of people very rich. And the love of money, as they say...

Soros made a Billion by betting against the bank of England, he thinks he can time markets that are in distress. He does not ponder how soon he is dying, he is still planning his next Billion

He also trashed the Thai Baht, putting millions of people in a far wore position than they were before.

He was trying to do the same with the Mexican peso, all for personal, financial gain, until the US Fed intervened and supported the peso, ending his foray.

He's a horrible man.

The worst part is his kids are just as horrible.  So even after he kicks, they'll still be around. :rolleyes:

thanks all, interesting overlay of perspectives. 
 

so it could be argued that, in conjunction with the observations above, that he is in fact a sociopath that has perfected the approach of generating wealth from financial collapse, and his ‘investment’ into the elite class of social engineering (useful and unwitting idiots) in many cases is to bake in a fundamental economic collapse he can profit from. 
 

For example if one were to suppose that the Iraq war was in part to uphold the integrity of the petro dollar and reserve currency status, it explains why he marketed W as some existential threat to humanity (frankly hilarious)
