I've been collecting examples of the media contradicting itself. These work really well to redpill normie friends on social media who don't notice when the media completely contradicts itself every couple weeks. When you show them a ton of examples, it really softens them up to hear other views they're normally resistant to hearing. Share what you got, thanks in advance.

A lot of these are when new information comes out. The others are opinion pieces which are not factually news.
I shouldn't be surprised I guess. Sup Forums proves itself rather dumb again.

During Bush they were all anti-war and anti-survalence state, during Obama...crickets. The dems have always been just a purely reactionary party, the hypocrisy is now becoming more apparent. There are various reasons for this, but I think Nietzche hit the nail on the head when he talked about the slave revolt in morality. Granted, he was talking about Jews and Christians, but it applies word for word to the secular progressive cult. Kind of scary really
Elijah Sanchez
When the "new information" is "Trump said he approved of what we approved," the media proves itself retarded.
Colton Miller
>A lot of these are when new information comes out.
Even more are when one propaganda angle doesn't work, and they realize they need to memory hole their last position on an issue.
>The others are opinion pieces which are not factually news.
Does it make it any less hypocritical and absurd that an opinion flip-flops 180 degree within 5 days?
> Sup Forums proves itself rather dumb again.
Go back to and complain about us, no one respects your opinion here where they aren't paid to.

I liked how you blacked out the word "opinion" from the title bar when it was inconvenient for your narrative.

I think you're confusing fascism with socialism.

opinion flip flops aren't qualitatively "less severe" than "journalistic ones" , especially not in the age of "editorialized reporting".

I think you need to read Georges Sorel, Mussolini's 'Doctrine of Fascism', and "Freedom from Interest Slavery' by Gottfried Feder.

Nope, we call that a "Strawman" but go ahead, pretend I was talking about Marxism so you can prove yourself right in an argument that only exists in your head.

If you wanna see damage control, try posting:
Hey guy, why did Trump say he was going to build a solid concrete wall across the entire Mexican border and have Mexico pay for it? Because now he's saying he's going to build a fence, across part of the border, and Mexico may reimburse part of the fees at a later date. But he says that's what he said from the beginning? Doesn't that seem a little like flip flopping to you?
Jacob Anderson
The real issue is that editorial opinions are being presented as factual news, and have been since the Bush Administration, to the point there is no longer any mainstream journalism that isn't loaded with personal opinions.
Daniel Powell

Oliver Hall
>I literally just proved him wrong
You prove anything, you vaguely hinted at your opinion. You demonstrated nothing via evidence or counter-example, you just kvetched.
>Nope, we call that a "Strawman"
It's a strawman when you omitt a critical nuance, like, say, the fact that a national "socialist" means a racial nationalist, while a marxist "socialist" means an economic nationalist, and the two ideologies are antipodal, opposite, and contradictory. Also, factually incorrect that all fascists were "socialists" (implying marxists). Also, factually incorrec that Republicans are fascists, because they're all neo-liberal champions of international investment capitalism.

At this point I must assume you are a paid shill, since no one can be this retarded. Just click the reply chain. He said that the article wasn't an opinion. I linked to the fucking article, right at the top it says "opinion"
>It's a strawman when you omitt a critical nuance
No a straw-man is where you attack someone for a position that they don't have, but is easier to attack. You know, like when I say "Mussolini was a socialist before he changed parties", and you say "He wasn't a Marxist!" because what I said was right, so you invented a strawman that was easier to attack.
Let me phrase it another way. I said those people were socialists, and it hurt your feel feels, so you tried to make everyone think I called them Marxists.
>Also, factually incorrect that all fascists were
I didn't say all, I said those three specifically, because they were.
>Also, factually incorrec that Republicans are fascists, because they're all neo-liberal champions of international investment capitalism.
Maybe once upon a time. Then again you fags love pretending the world is like it was a decade in the past when you make your arguments, so whatever.

I swear there is one guy on Sup Forums and another guy on /ck/ who keep posting this. It's like they just learned about it and feel the need to bring it up at any possible time.
It must be classic projecting. I suppose if my life consisted of living vicariously online from my parents' home, despite years of being convinced I was smarter/better than all my peers, I would have to double down on my defense mechanisms too.
