Oh no! did the doc get fired too? 🤔

Both were fired for doing stupid ****. Seems consistent. One is more visible and has more name recognition than the other thus more buzz. I didn't even know who the other one was.

If you try really hard you can always see something where nothing is.

Joe. Instead of always trying to compare lib reaction two two different situations (e.g. Trump too weak on Russia/Trump too strong on Iran) just say you think libs are always wrong and not worry about scientific evidence.

I let the record speak for itself.

Barr gets fired for stupid tweet: people of a certain political persuasion rejoice.

Gunn gets fired for stupid tweets: the same group of people say "it was only a joke" and "it was a long time ago".
You know, excuses.


If we all agree that all the tweets were rancid, then why should the same people support one firing while crying foul over the other?

Hint: Trump.


Frankie, forget Russia on this.
And stop being offended when I use Lib as a four letter word. Especially when I didn't use the word lib.

Actually TG, I did notice you used the word left. And to me it does make a difference. The far left are crazy idealogues who are every bit as bad as the alt right . I would give you one thought. I think a major reason that it appears Barr was lambasted and Gunn was given a pass is Hollywood. The Hollywood jesters due to their fame receive much more press. They called for her head. Joe average wants Gunns head. He gets little coverage. Gunns comments were far more reprehensible than Barrs.

you know I'm not offended. Just saying you like to post current events and give passing comments but your real point is that it's being used to build your case that libs are dumb, not the news itself.

You focus on the reaction as the story.

Always.

The reaction IS the story.

I'm not sure why this is confusing.
I truly don't care about the tweets or the firing.

I'm pointing out what is obvious to me: the mainstream is left-leaning and treat everything based on politics.
This is new.
A person used to be judged on their actions or words.
Now it's common to first determine who they voted for.

That IS the story.

And the reaction I get?
"well I think the firing was justified/not justified"
