  1. That is to say an establishment thing. A control every narrative thing. A corporate media thing. So why no Warren Bro narrative? Does it not at least arouse people’s suspicions? Ask why. Don’t be afraid of the answer you come to.
  2. Idk I’m looking for the first sign of the Warren Bro narrative wherever I can find it. Since Warren’s base is more bro than Bernie’s base ever was or currently is. Is that a media thing that was manufactured? I’ll take a random tweet from anyone at this point. Help me out Hugo.
  3. Fucking whiner. He should totally let that go and have the post continue to boldly lie to their readers.
  4. Way to fuck up a thread. Good thing it is coming to an end real soon. Need a fresh start.
  5. How is trying to prevent the media from forming one big conglomerate Trumpy? Isn’t that the opposite of what Trump would want? Which is one big propaganda spouting news organization that he has complete control of.
  6. A good write up on what Sanders is up against. Expands on the HoarseWhisperer situation. But supporters are just paranoid whiners amirite? https://www.salon.com/2019/08/26/twitter-sleuths-uncover-an-anti-bernie-conspiracy-infuriating-the-pundit-class/ Bernie Sanders supporters are not paranoid to suspect that there is a conspiracy to prevent him from getting the presidential nomination. Indeed, given the existential threat that his politics pose for the rich and powerful, the Democratic Party elite and their wealthy donors seem downright terrified of his redistributive policy platform. Hence, many large media outlets and the elite pundit class have, often subtly, allied themselves against him. DailyKos, a liberal-leaning group politics blog and news site, reported on Allison’s sleuthing in a community post that ran with this headline: “Bernie Sanders's Campaign Doxed a Critic on Twitter.” Notably, Allison has no connection to the Sanders campaign, making the headline false. That headline has not been corrected. Once again, the dust-up proves little beyond what Sanders supporters already knew: that the liberal elite of media and punditry, in general, do not like Bernie Sanders and will go to great lengths to depict his supporters as bad people, hoping that readers and viewers will view his entire campaign through that lens. One could almost conclude they are frightened.
  7. Bernie expands on his view of the media and what he plans to do about it in this oped. https://www.cjr.org/opinion/bernie-sanders-media-silicon-valley.php Real journalism is different from the gossip, punditry, and clickbait that dominates today’s news. Real journalism, in the words of Joseph Pulitzer, is the painstaking reporting that will “fight for progress and reform, never tolerate injustice or corruption, [and] always fight demagogues.” Pulitzer said that journalism must always “oppose privileged classes and public plunderers, never lack sympathy with the poor, always remain devoted to the public welfare, never be satisfied with merely printing news, always be drastically independent, never be afraid to attack wrong, whether by predatory plutocracy or predatory poverty.” Over the past 15 years, more than 1,400 communities across the county have lost newspapers, which are the outlets local television, radio, and digital news sites rely on for reporting. Since 2008, we have seen newsrooms lose 28,000 employees—and in the past year alone, 3,200 people in the media industry have been laid off. Today, for every working journalist, there are six people now working in public relations, often pushing a corporate line. At precisely the moment when we need more reporters covering the healthcare crisis, the climate emergency, and economic inequality, we have television pundits paid tens of millions of dollars to pontificate about frivolous political gossip, as local news outlets are eviscerated. WHEN I AM PRESIDENT, MY ADMINISTRATION will put in place policies that will reform the media industry and better protect independent journalism at both the local and national levels. Our constitution’s First Amendment explicitly protects the free press because the founders understood how important journalism is to a democracy. More than two centuries after the constitution was signed, we cannot sit by and allow corporations, billionaires, and demagogues to destroy the Fourth Estate, nor can we allow them to replace serious reporting with infotainment and propaganda.
  8. You and me both. Not saying I’m right. It is a significant win pre but I like to be greedy w these hands.
  9. Say me and villain are in opposite positions in the hand above. He prob min raises QQ I’ll 3 bet the same w 99 as he did. When he shove 4bets I’m out w the quickness. Why I look back and feel iffy about how the hand actually played out.
  10. Been experimenting lately. I like the flat there like 75/25 w KK and most of the time w AA with these stack sizes. Not really too big of a fan of 4betting and letting them get away. Not saying anyone would w QQ there or say AK but hands like 99 TT JJ QQ are never folding on a brick flop when I flat there. Some will when I jam pre. Then you factor in people bombing cb bluffs with 3bet hands like AK AQ KQ etc. I am ready to play a big pot here and let the cards fall where they may. If the stacks are a little smaller and there isn’t any fold equity I’ll 4bet shove.
  11. Yea hating myself this morning. Have to let it go on the flop imo. Part of me feels like a nit saying that but putting it all in there with 99 I’m not really happy about. I would have played AA or KK the same way.
  12. I think I can possibly maybe fold this in the future. He was telling me to go away the whole time. Got sticky.
  13. This one fucking hurt. Busted like 70/3500 runners trying to turn 80 into 50k. Is there any way to get away from this? Had just moved tables so did not really have anything on villain.

  14. Looks like some changes to the AAC court this season.
  15. He knows how to listen and respond.
  16. We don’t have fucking Bill Belichick. Jimmy ain’t walking through that door. We have a puppet master and a poser running this show. The Cowboys have been inept because of them. The rest of the team isn’t or won’t be a bunch of scrubs wtf.
  17. Overbet is good for bluff and extracting value from stations when under representing your hand.
  18. I was told 20-30 on the Internet. That’s not fucking hilarious tho.
