Catalino's Hilary is pretty horrifying, but I prefer that caricature to most of what we've seen thus far. At least it's evocative and relatively inoffensive.

Maybe I've been reading the wrong news sources. Pretty much every op-ed in the Washington Post for the past few weeks has been some variation of STOP TRUMP NOW. What news source is he reading/watching that's even somewhat pro-Trump?

Why are goons so obsessed with cucking?? Seriously, though, I assume he drew a pig as a half-conscious quasi-reference to Angry Birds.

What news source is he reading/watching that's even somewhat pro-Trump? Because the media doesn't care. Keeping this godawful show going is what pays their bills. STOP TRUMP NOW plays into the media narrative, and keeps Trump's momentum, because it's just more fuel for the Conversation. It's hard to explain this to people where not giving a drat can be the most efficient way to kill an idea. Look at Bernie Sanders. Despite being an internet sensation and political donation equivalent of Star Citizen, none of this hype goes anywhere, because the media make only the slightest attempts to keep him in the spotlight. He's made impressive gains among his supporters, but it mostly amounts to an echo chamber, and he'll likely lose the primaries pretty handily. When you don't get everyone in on the conversation, only the people who care are going to talk about it. The cartoon in question is talking about the media doing what it can to keep the show running, and not try to tank it in any specific way by saying anything that will make this train full of poo poo from chugging along.

Xander77 posted:The thing is - ratings were always a motivating factor for the media, yet they could be reliably counted upon to massacre the living poo poo out of politicians who set foot outside of some imaginary consensus. Encouraging someone like Trump, not as a sideshow attraction but as the actual nominee is new, and particularly insane. Yeah, it's something I think on. Someone like Trump rarely gets this far. You have your nutbags the liberal/conservative media likes to pull out as an example of "them." It's been a safe way for the media to rile up their base. Trump is shown on Fox as a hero speaking against "political correctness" and liberal media outlets show him as an example of why their base should continue to hate Republicans. He's not taken seriously, but then the Republicans gently caress up hard. Their penchant for having massive primary races that are being used to gain media exposure for the candidates' careers backfires. All of a sudden, running a 20-30% poll might win because he's up against two "frontrunners" polling 20% range, and a shitload of others polling a cumulative 20-30%, and poo poo gets real. The media is still going: "It's happened with people like Palin and the weird Pizza Guy who want to sell themselves and will eventually bow out. They're unelectable, so let's run a reality show for ratings. We did it for Palin and Perot, but mostly just jabs here and there to make it interesting. Surely one of the sixteen nominees taking votes away from Rubio/Cruz will bow out eventually. They'll show sense and realizing that even their single digit polls will be sending their party to ruin by helping Trump, right?..." *Trump wins some states with less % than Bernie Sanders* "....right?" Only speaking as an observer, they were planning what you said, but a perfect storm of bad Republican decisions and their media circus created a viability. I don't think the media can do much more at this point. Even Fox is just trying not to mention him while retaining their viewership. The ball is in the Republican leadership court. They've got to pick Rubio or Cruz, and cut the rest of the chaff completely if they want a chance of salvaging the situation. So basically this:

Christ, I really want to touch the poop with Gorrell so bad. I'm genuinely interested in what he'd say (if anything) if asked about how he's managed to stay employed by recycling his art. I mean, gently caress, it's not even recycling. How many times has this dude literally turned in a blank cartoon with like one line of text? On a certain level I'm kind of jealous that he's managed to find the easiest job on the planet.

Yeah, there's too much surprise. "Incredibly?" You're supposed to play it straight and detached. Jon Stewart did manage to be over-the-top funny, but he had the dry delivery of the correspondents to play against. I miss Jon Stewart.

Too bad American culture is pointedly super-ignorant about nature and wildlife so hardly anyone knows about cowbirds, the mob bosses that'll loving smash your eggs if you kick theirs out. American cuckoos are all dope as hell, gobblers of huge hairy caterpillars or else the terrifying murderbird, the greater roadrunner. Don't drag them into the mud with their European cousins. (yes I have strong opinions about birds, gently caress cowbirds forever) edit: here is cool footage of a cuckoo doing a backflip to catch a cowbird out of midair.

If there weren't so much poop-touching involved a christian satire contest would be a pretty nice idea. Even those who want Adam4d gone from the thread could support it seeing as the last contest this thread hosted was a Day by Day edit contest, and see how that ended.
