Is blackmailing an Internet troll worse than running a country based on lies and misinformation?

I like how you want us to compare a specific crime with a hyperbolic crime.

Probably because you know you can't point to any specific thing Trump has done that's worse than what CNN did.

I think a lot of legal things are worse than a lot of actual crimes.

CNN can blackmail 100 trolls and it won't affect the majority of people. Lying about climate change, supporting the delusions of the religious right, sensationalizing terrorism, defunding science and the arts, selling a bad wall, selling a healthcare act just as bad as Obama's, etc will. It is all based on lies, ignorance, and misdirection.

Excellent question;

I fully expect Mal Fet to answer directly. Said no one ever.

It completely depends on how the country does. We ran America on the same thing throughout the last 100 years.

And it has taken us straight into the ground

A news network lying will never be as bad as the president making policy based on lies.

Which policy are you referring to?
---

since Trump's utter incompetence has lead to almost no actual policy being created, i bet he means withdrawing from the Paris agreement

Uh, he dropped out of the Paris agreement because it involved giving the world's biggest polluters hundreds of millions of dollars based on no guarantee that they would reduce emissions.

Is that really the "bad policy" you mean? Because if so, please explain why rewarding countries that pollute would be positive for the climate.

I'm patiently awaiting your answer, @Giant_Aspirin

its not bad policy because global warming is a Chinese hoax! @Mal_Fet

You shitpost in my topic for hours but now you're too good to respond??

You're so full of shit and you know it lmao

its just completely futile and a total waste of both of our time.

it doesn't matter what i say or what evidence i provide -- your mind is made up that the Paris Agreement is bologna and there's nothing anyone can ever say that will change your mind about that.

i am DONE arguing with you. i won't do it anymore. i'll post in your topics to show the rest of the board how utterly delusional you are, sure, but i am done with getting into multi-page arguments where by the time we're at the end what we're arguing about isn't even connected to the original point. it's non-stop straw-man after straw-man and nitpicking of semantics in an effort to derail the conversation. debates with you are insufferable, more so than with anyone else on here.

who gives a fuck

the whole situation is stupid and nobody with any sanity should care about a fucking gif of trump bodyslamming CNN

what a fucking stupid post

that's not what people care about in regards to this situation at all. people care that CNN, an international news media organization, is apparently okay with one of its "investigative journalists" threatening and coercing private citizens over reddit shitposting.

Keep an eye on pastebin. Will be a huge cnn dump soon

Correct. When he knows he's beat, he pivots, or he makes shit up.

Is that a promise?

You got the time to write up a whole paragraph to someone saying how much you don't want to argue with them, but you can't afford one sentence to explain how exiting the Paris climate agreement is relevant to his "chinese hoax" remark.

I agree. You are done.

"I trolled you. You got done with this and decided not to bait me. I win"

Mal_Fet posted...

And I pointed out that Trump's lies are in no way comparable to the magnitude of CNN's lies,

Of course not.

Trump's are worse:

"Europe doesn't care about terrorist attacks"
"Global warming is a Chinese hoax"
"Hillary has a child sex ring"
"Machado got a sex tape"
"We can print the money"
"We're building a wall and Mexico will pay for it"
"Flynn isn't a treacherous ass"
"I relinquished control of my business"
"I found Obama's Kenyan BC"

Do I go on Mal?

Wait, is global warming still a thing? I could have sworn they had to switch to saying climate change because people couldn't make up their minds about what exactly is happening, when exactly it's supposed to happen and who the Hell is responsible for it.

Lmfao CNN has lost all credibility. Fake news

Another trumpanzee. This wasn't even that hard to spot since his first post.

Lol what

What lie has CNN pulled that is equal to "global warming is a Chinese hoax?"

If I said it is, does that magically fix the climate change issue? No? Then what if I take the stance that it isn't a hoax.

Amazing! Climate Change is solved! /s

Meanwhile, CNN went ahead by selectively editing a call to violence, to burn down the white suburbs, as being a "peaceful protest".
