Trump's preparing for Putin with tweet-sized memos since his staff are desperate to get Trump to act like a **ing adult and they have to resort to this bull. North Korea has an ICBM that can attack us. There's France and Germany and Italy talks today/soon/I don't know because the last two topics are about a wrestling gif and not even a good one. I brought up half of those things, but they didn't get any response! --- Congrats to BKSheikah for winning the BYIG Guru Challenge! <cite>LordoftheMorons posted [p:882401403] in Politics C...

Tangential question (because anything would be better than... this): What is the legal precedent, if any, with regards to expectation of privacy in regards to internet forums? In general, I think most people expect it, but I'm not sure where courts have ruled. to further what FFD said, just bear in mind that what he pointed out was towards chat rooms and open forums. current system where PMs, DMs, etc are a thing do allow for some expectation of privacy in them. though most of this discussion goes around law enforcement, what it takes for a warrant, etc, and i'm not sure if that's where you're going with this. --- "Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel. <cite>Wanglicious posted [p:882401419] in Politics C...

Is there an empirical test? that is indeed something that media decides, though at this point "media" can be used loosely since we're in a weird transition where defining "media" isn't just CNN and Fox, it's also a couple thousand youtubers, comedy shows, and people on twitter. as for how the answer is pretty much "they just cover it." if something is covered, gets good attention, and can be parsed in a couple minutes tops, others will cover it too. if it's a convoluted mess, coverage will become more limited. that second question is basically "the way you deal with people in sales" for an answer. as for the third... not really? i mean if a story is ripe then sure you cover it but it'll be you and many others. you can also carve out your niche for certain news, if there's a hole needing to be filled, one guy can come in and monopolize it. but a sort of "if we do things THIS way we'll always break out the best story!" is... not really there. you can run a certain schedule of content, analyze what's gained the most hits, and work from that but it's basically a lot of throwing shit at a wall and working with what you got, provided not too many sponsors pull if you're edging that corner. --- "Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel. <cite>Wanglicious posted [p:882401874] in Politics C...

xp1337 07/05/17 9:48:09 PM #363:	Eh, nevermind, I don't feel like setting up a bunch of questions to define the parameters of this. I'll skip to where I was going with this (and undercut myself by doing this) My take on this situation (admittedly I have not followed it much at all because why is this a story) 1. CNN determines that Trump tweeting that gif is a story <- If you want to fault CNN it is probably here 1a. In their defense, it is actually an official statement by the President 1b. On the other hand oh my god why. 2. Someone claims to be the one who creates said gif 3. CNN, because they have determined this is a story, learns of this and follows-up. 3a. God this feels like such a waste of time and resources 3b. But I mean, if they actually believe this is a story, this is standard journalism I guess. 4. ??? 5. No seriously, what the hell are we talking about. If Step 2 did not exist, I'd be a lot more receptive to the idea that CNN was "out of line" or something because that would be a weird amount of interest on their part. But even then I'm not sure they'd actually be doing anything wrong it'd just be kind of creepy how thorough they were investigating a gif. It sounds like they've bungled their own PR afterwards but at that point we're talking about OPTICS and not substance so like... why do we care? --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? <cite>xp1337 posted [p:882402205] in Politics C...
