Imagine being in the middle of a ...fucking hurricane...and going on one about....fake news....
Wtf is wrong with ppl....
Show this same energy when actual fake news is being pushed out there. Then again, we all know what they consider real and what they consider fake...
Like....is the white guy claiming the hurricane is...fake news...?
He knew he was on camera and he's a minority? He wasn't going to swing first while that light was on. Still that smooth turn of the camera made it look like that's something they practice on the regular. Which sadly I believe they do.He was too kind to use the forearm on that pushoff... I would have swung first.
He just saw the NBC logo and a black man, and decided that it was his time to single-handedly fight "fake news."
"Accurately! Report this accurately!", is what he kept screaming.
Apparently he wanted the news reported "accurately" SMH.What the hell is wrong with white people like this dawg?! Like what was the reason?!
Right lol. What the hell does the weather have to do with any of that. He really pulled up in his truck with is racist sunglasses on trying to pick a fight. Fucking nutcase.Apparently he wanted the news reported "accurately" SMH.
Every time I think about living down south, I always get a sign that says "NOPE"
More likely than not indoctrination and radicalization by conservative media.What the hell is wrong with white people like this dawg?! Like what was the reason?!
Yep all they see are symbols and just go crazy at this point. Activates their racist, conspiracy Programming.More likely than not indoctrination and radicalization by conservative media.
Trump. He's not only a racist, but he promoted violence against the mainstream media.
More likely than not indoctrination and radicalization byconservative mediaAmerican society.
If I had to guess I'd assume white guy saw he was NBC and being from Mississippi, likely a brainwashed Trump supporter, decided this was the right time to tell a member of the "MSM" what he thinks about them and did it. Of course I cannot discard that race wasn't a factor too but who knows. That sucks.
Not in the number and frequency we see today. They used to be fringe loons and not nearly as embolden. Today they are mainstream conservatives and widespread.FTFY
These type of people existed long before Fox News and Facebook and they don't just exist in the South and they're not just poor and uneducated.
He probably thought he could stop the fake hurricane by breaking their equipment.Based on this piece of garbage yelling "accurately," it seems like a decent bet that this is a deranged Trump supporter and/or anti-vaxxer who decided to nearly assault the reporter for being part of the "liberal media."
This is the direct result of the near-brainwashing propaganda that comes from Fox News and other right wing media. Scary as fuck.
I wish Biden would make a mockery about this racist bitch ass like Trump put racist on pedestals. Gloves need to come off and the nation needs to slap the shit out of the far right ass holes.
News media should investigate at least to get him fired from wheever he works at.
when I go down to visit sometimes in the summer (pre-covid), there were places that my family and I would avoid because it's filled with mentally unstable racists with confederate flags drapped all around.As a black man, I'm not sure I could do a live spot in the south for any news outlet at this point without having something to protect myselfā¦at least mace.
"I'm standing here by the ocean right after a hurricane to once again report that Trump lost the election, Covid is real and vaccinations work"if I was in that reporter's shoes, the moment that asshole ran up to his face I would have been swinging. I don't give a shit if it's against "protocal" random people should not be allowed to just bum-rush you like that. It sounded like the dude was screaming, "Report it accurately!" um, he was? I'm guessing the white guy thought msnbc was reporting on some trump shit.
100% saw the NBC logo and had a Trump-inspired freakout. No doubt about it.
it'll always kill me that these assholes do it thinking they're in the right???There's a famous/infamous one of some dude, like, rocking out with an American flag when a hurricane hit Tampa, FL a few years back.
...my friend watched it play out in real-time from the relative discomfort of his living room window.
it'll always kill me that these assholes do it thinking they're in the right???
The fact the reporter treats it, daresay, almost unsurprised by it (he had the TV smile and gave the "back to you" line) is super troubling.
That's awful...
Ugh, yep. The reporter... I don't know. I don't want to type "handled it like a champ" when I wouldn't have blamed him for behaving far less... "professional" about it. But damn, he really was a saint in that situation.
Unflappable. There's a good word for it. Unflappable.
