Still *dead as Mr Fisk reported

>> ^raverman:
It's time to make a clear distinction between Media coverage and news journalism.
99% of all written and televised content is media coverage... They quote opinions from twitter and show you tube videos. They are hosts and MC's, and maybe even broadcasters - but not Journalists.
Also: If it's openly called Propaganda when media is forced to broadcast message by threat of force...
What is it called when media is willing to broadcast propaganda by choice?


propoganda isn't defined by forcing someone to broadcast a certain message... or even by limiting discenting viewpoints... its simply information tailored to get a specific result... support this war, demonize this group, etc etc... there has been propoganda in North America at the same time as free press actually meant something

What is it called when media is willing to broadcast propaganda by choice?
failure of democracy?
corruption

fuck me.
i always miss these things and therefore the opportunity to be a total dickwad.
fisk?
love him.he is the only person who begs for phone-pic shots of my cock.considering i am a decaying meatsack with graying ball hair this has always tickled me (get the reference.i am a clever monkey) but now that i think about it..that makes fisk one very disturbed motherfucker but that wont stop me from sending him pictures of my cock.
you gloriously demented fucker you.

American "journalists" (minus FOX) gave up any pretense of objectivity in 2007 when they rolled up their sleeves and joined the Obama campaign.
State-run media deserves to fail.


QM I demand that you read Robert Fisks book "The Great War for Civilisation". It's huge but it's really good and he's actually interviews Osama Bin Laden, so it's quite informative and interesting.

It's called Capitalism. The corporations that own the networks make money off the war the networks support...not rocket surgery.

Cool I just finished that book after reading "No Logo". Really good book however like Robert Fisks book I had to put it down for awhile in between reads to get in the corner and rage/cry.

Its been a while since I roasted someone, so I maybe a bit rusty...

You know something, that hasn't been talked of yet is the channel that Mr. Fisk is in charged of, Controversy...

We all know that Mr. Fisk can be off his rocker at times, but what drives a man to be in charge of something like controversy? From what we can deciper from what Mr. Dotdude shared, I picked some of my favorite quotes from his 500 acceptance speech...

1) And to think, I was nearly permanently banned my first month here:
Meaning that this guy shouldn't be here in the first place? Not even one month on videosift and people were already trying to get rid of this guy... I mean seriously, compared to what he has gone through when he first started, this roast is pretty much a cakewalk...

2) Next up, I'd like to thank the rest of y'all suave mofos, for watching, upvoting, and appreciating my twisted sense of humor. And finally, I'd like to thank myself. It wasn't as easy as I made it look, pinpointing the greatest underground rap videos (often foregoing the luxury of thumbnails), locating full episodes and movies (the internet is public domain, so far as I'm concerned), posting political videos that I disagreed with but refused to ignore (how many did I take from you, qm and billo?), and of course, the controversy:
Can you believe that this was only three sentences? Besides writing an extra long sentence at the end that a grammar teacher would frown on (not like I have anything going myself with my three periods...), He acknowledge people as "Suave Mofos." Congrats people, when he hit 500 he complimented and insulted you at the same time and not many people can do that... He then goes off by saying reasons why he should have been banned, by confessing how he uses Licensed Underground Rap videos, full episodes and movies, political videos that discredit people, "and of course, the controversy." How is this man Ranked 39!?! He admitted that he lied, cheated, and stoled to get to where he is today!

3) What I found (Videosift), was a galaxy of videos, which have entertained, educated, appalled, and bored the fuck out of me:
I love how he puts "bored the fuck out of me" at the end since this indicates that while he was, "entertained, and educated" he was really "appalled" by videos he has seen and overall bored of what some people attempt to post... Mr. Fisk is saying that doesn't like you or the videos that you post people... Only a few things amuse him, but overall, he just, BORED!

4) Yes, I've been controversial in the past, it's in my blood, you see? But I think the community, as a whole, is able to realize that I'm more of a civil-siftdisobedient than an outright siftarchist. I'm delighted to earn this meaningless achievement:
And we reach the end where he finishes his confession. He is a controversial man, he enriches his heritage of causing problems for other and is a disobedient troublemaker who embraced a honor by saying it is meaningless... Truly you are someone who sets a good example... An example of how to be an evil mastermind trying to throw people off by confusing and angering others...

O and did I forget to mention that he I peddles cigarettes and booze for a living... I went ahead to look up the definition of peddle and here it is...

ped·dle/ˈpedl/Verb
1. Try to sell (something, esp. small goods) by going from house to house or place to place.
2. Sell (an illegal drug or stolen item).

That's right people, he sells illegal cigarettes and booze from place to place!! You make me sick and I hope to get in on that action once you are found and brought to justice... Keep up the good work so that when you are finally arrested, you will have so much evidence against you even your lawyer will try and find you guilty... Thank you!

((In all seriousness though, Mr. Fisk, keep up the great job, the videos you find are great to watch and if you haven't posted the controversy channel, videosift still be brainwashed moron with no direction to go... Thank you and I hope you didn't get offended, but then again that is how roasts works right?))

Mr Fisk is an unkempt layabout that smells of vinegar and rotten eggs.
