Media DoubleThink

Kept trying to see this as a "presenting both sides" type of thing, but there's no defense for this hypocritical drivel. We need to keep winning the meme wars.

few things annoy me more than hypocrisy, at least have a coherent opinion ffs

We aren't wired differently but men dominate events that require mental abilities like chess. These women think of themselves like they're Blade, as if they have all of our strengths but none of our weaknesses.

Can't get criticized for picking the wrong side if you pick all sides.

This technically isn't all double speak as the views are not representative of the outlets. Whenever a journalist catches heat for something they say outlets are quick to separate themselves from it, maintaining that the views of the writer do not reflect the views of the organization. Everything that gets published is opinion / editorial being passed off for "Journalism".

Unless it's the same author in both instances, like the Hillary and Melania all-white stories, then the views aren't necessarily contradictory as they're coming from different people.

Can we stop holding internet media to any standard? They would literally post anything that gets clicks, it's how you survive on the net!

You know different editorial pieces written by different people can have different opinions. It's not hypocrisy.

Lots of bullshit in here, especially "White Pride" one. Black pride for example is used because blacks were denied in society for a long time due to slavery. Meanwhile White Pride was used later to get back that slave labour and get rid of all free black men, so it all has to do with the history behind them. You can be proud to be white, there's literally nothing wrong with that. But White pride is used to hate on other races and see whites as superior, so if you exclude that part it's completely fine.

Well, some of these are pretty stupid. Take the electoral college one. You don't think that in the span of 5 years they acquired new writers with new opinions?
