Nov 2023 Mod notice:
There may be other, more specific, threads about some aspects of US politics, but this one tends to act as a hub for all sorts of related news and information, so it's usually one of the busiest OTC threads.
If you're new to OTC, it's worth reading the Introduction to On-Topic Conversations
and the On-Topic Conversations debate guidelines
before posting here.
Rumor-based, fear-mongering and/or inflammatory statements that damage the quality of the thread will be thumped. Off-topic posts will also be thumped. Repeat offenders may be suspended.
If time spent moderating this thread remains a distraction from moderation of the wiki itself, the thread will need to be locked. We want to avoid that, so please follow the forum rules
when posting here.
In line with the general forum rules, 'gravedancing' is prohibited here. If you're celebrating someone's death or hoping that they die, your post will get thumped. This rule applies regardless of what the person you're discussing has said or done.

When you're a giant media company with nowhere near the political polarization as brands like Comcast/NBC or AT&T/WarnerMedia in damage control for doing something controversial that angers a good chunk of the political spectrum, you really don't want info like this flying around if you're trying to convince the public you don't pander to the alt-right.
Question is, does Disney know that Miller owns a stake in them? The fact that this just popped into our radar suggests they didn't.

"The devil's got all the good gear. What's God got? The Inspiral Carpets and nuns. Fuck that." - Liam GallagherThe last time Trump was told to stay away from a Republican politician's funeral (Barbara Bush, right?), he still found a way to shit all over it without being there.

Fiat iustitia, et pereat mundus.He's gonna be tweeting about it watching Fox News coverage, isn't he?
"The devil's got all the good gear. What's God got? The Inspiral Carpets and nuns. Fuck that." - Liam GallagherIt's quite simple, if they support Israel as an ethnostate then they have common reason to align with American supporters of their own ethnostate. After-all both groups are in the far-right and despise brown Muslims, thus an alliance between Israeli Zionists and American White Nationalists is far less bizarre then it may seem.
"Einstein would turn over in his grave. Not only does God play dice, the dice are loaded." -Chairman Sheng-Ji YangCorrect me if I'm wrong but doesn't that just mean that threads can't be made about it? As I understand it we can still mention GG we just need to tread carefully.
(I could've sworn mods have said this before)

Pretty much the people who have it out for videogames, or really whatever form of media they want to target, aren't going to be concerned with trivial details like that. M84's sig sums it up.

Hopefully I'll feel confident to change my avatar off this scumbag soon. Apologies to any scumbags I insulted.
It's even worse when you have Liberal news networks going after them too, not just Conservative ones. Apparently the shooter was from Baltimore, Maryland: http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/crime/bs-md-ci-jacksonvile-shooting-baltimore-20180826-story.html

To be fair, the Alt-Right is insane.
CNN is reasonably called a moderate news network.

Leviticus 19:34

How? People are allowed to buy stock in anything.
That's like saying Apple needs to go into full PR mode and take away Trump's iPhone.
Oh really when?
