Slop.Neera you aren’t supposed to veer the Islamophobia bus that far into the blatant racism lane
I really don't think this whole "make everything about Hasan" strategy is all that smart.
Oh neera, never change. I'm gonna miss your unhinged takes when you die of the next round of covid or eating infected meat or whatever
Drinking tainted box wine
They call it Franziacide
The Gallos
Oh, that's good. I like that
the mind palace of neera tanden is a dumpster behind a mcdonalds. what a fucking bozo.
they interviewed OBL a shitload of times. like all violent reactionaries, he was rabidly anti-communist and therefore an ally of the US, complete with materiel support and training camps.
but how normal to draw an equivalence between a guy that organized militants and bombers to conduct international terrorism for over a decade for over a decade to a twitch streamer that makes jokes.
I’ve seen this headline a million times but the actual tone of the text is fascinating.
I don't think the media attention on Piker has done anything to votes whatsoever. I don't really understand what the angle is or why there's such a laser focus. He's a twitch streamer.
Like with Russia gate they are constructing a narrative about the American people getting manipulated and mislead.
Giving mainstream media attention to Hasan for electoralism encourages him to stay in electoralism
I hate that if this is the angle, then it has succeeded wildly
The Zionist lobby is on the back foot and they are desperate to prove that nobody is too popular to escape their wrath. The majority of Democrat electeds, the bloodsoaked genocidal freaks that they are, also consider it a matter of life and death because if public sentiment continues to get out of hand, they can't keep playing this bogus act that they are servants of the people.
He's popular and just outside the compatible left bubble even if barely.
He vocally denounces israel, that's all it takes
Ah yes...."journalistic norms".
Look, I get that all of these people, even the critics, have to protect the prestige of their class, but can we please admit that most journalists, but especially those who are favored by the editors of major outlets, have always been liars, confabulists, and cretins of the highest order, who twist their stories to suit the narratives of their publishers?
That is the journalistic norm, the actual truth seekers are the exceptions.
AJAB.
They’re not journalists, they’re corporate stenographers
Oh man, when you see Neera Tanden’s name in the title of a c/slop post, you know you’re about to eat good.

They only stopped interviewing him because he was literally in hiding.
There's also this quote from him being interviewed by Al Jazeera in October 2001:
During the interview, Allouni had asked bin Laden for his response to the claim that he was behind the attacks on September 11. bin Laden described the hijackers as "brave guys who took the battle to the heart of America" and said that "[t]hey did this, as we understand it, and this is something we have agitated for before, as a matter of self-defense...If inciting people to do that is terrorism, and if killing those who kill our sons is terrorism, then let history be witness that we are terrorists." He also described the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan as a war between Muslims and a "global crusade".
It says its temporarily offline. Did Hasan stop streaming or something?
Oh damn, I guess they IA is offline. That's a PDF transcript of an Osama Bin Laden interview with CNN in 1997 lol
