I wrote this in the Spongebob debate, but then I realised it had nothing to do with it so here it is in case you give a shit:
Ages ago, there was a whole bit on Fox Business about the latest Muppet movie, about how they demonize the oil executive as evil, and cite it as a sustained anti-oil propaganda campaign by Hollywood. And then they list, I shit you not Cars 2, Syriana and THERE WILL BE BLOOD, as further examples of this deplorable bias.
And then, as if that's not crazy enough, brace yourself. The guy blames a Nickelodeon show about recycling called The Big Green Help, The Day After Tomorrow, and get this, CAPTAIN FUCKING PLANET, for indoctrinating the Occupy Wall Street movement from a young age. You know, it's impossible that these people are free-thinking individuals who disagree with your positions, they've just been lied to and told to hate the innocent and helpless big businesses and the oil industry by a show about recycling and a cartoon about MAGIC RINGS.
OH AND IT GETS BETTER! He then cites a line from the Matrix in which THE BAD GUY describes humans as a virus on the Earth. HOLY FUCK. That's THE OPPOSITE OF HIS FUCKING ARGUMENT.
And then they bring on Andrea Tantaros, who brings up the starving muppet they introduced on Sesame Street, lists a bunch of government programs to help kids who are hungry, and then implies that thanks to this THERE ARE NO HUNGRY CHILDREN IN AMERICA? I MEAN HOLY SHIT IS SHE FUCKING NUTS? CAN SHE HEAR HERSELF SAYING THESE THINGS? And then she mocks Barney Frank for looking like a muppet. Well it's okay Andrea Tantaros because unlike Barney Frank, you may be an extremely attractive person, but you sound and act like an insufferable fucking cunt.
And then the anchor gets to "we're teaching our kids class warfare, where are we Communist China?" GO TO FUCKING COMMUNIST CHINA YOU PRICK AND STOP ACTING LIKE YOU'RE BEING OPPRESSED BY THE PROLETARIAT.
By shifting the story to liberal bias, they're implying that big business, that big oil, is innocent, and that it's perfectly fine to exploit natural resources in a risky unsustainable manner at the cost of human lives and the environment. And that it's not okay to portray this as bad or evil.
This is fucking reality we live in now. It's been said by better people than me, but truth has a liberal bias. So the conservative pushback is to deny any truth that supports a liberal position, to ignore genuine issues if they reflect badly on the traditional model of free American enterprise.
In this video it is stated that Obama is responsible for increased usage of food stamps, it is stated that the left is trying to indoctrinate children by negatively portraying business and oil in particular, and promoting environmentalism in cartoons (THE ENVIRONMENT IS COMMUNIST!). It is stated that pursuit of wealth is noble and good, and that there is nothing wrong with the business practices of these corporations.
It's so naked. They cry "this is propaganda" and their counter is more fucking propaganda, reinforcing their audiences perception of victimisation and marginalisation, and promoting a world where we can't discuss problems and find common solutions, we must instead stick rigidly to our dogged ideology and never waver because THAT'S FREEDOM FOLKS.
It makes me sick to my fucking brain.
