See this is where BRick got it wrong. The real “Pittmike thing” is a right wing persecution complex.

He isn't accused of catcalling or asking a subordinate to have sex with him. At some point we have to admit the behavior is wrong period.

No. Of all the sex scandals that have made big press in modern times probably 75% of them are left leaning liberals. The media loves that story no matter what.

MANY avoid mentioning the "rumors" because either they're a woman or they're likely doing the same shit.

That isn't what I'm talking about though. We all are treated "wrong" sometimes. I could make a list of humiliations I have suffered at the hands of others. I'm sure you could too. But we don't because we aren't seeking to be victims.

How about when a shaking Parkinson's patient in a wheelchair "assaults" you, you smack him and tell him to knock it off? Or you can go through life acting like a helpless child.

And now Ellen can't even goof around with her friend. The horror! Katy Perry may be scarred for life.

Is that really the society you want to live in?

I mean, no, but at the same time I'm not going to take issue with a woman being pissed when a guy grabs her.

I guess when you're that famous the 90 year old exception doesn't really work. Price of fame.

Call it what you want. I see a stark contrast between the right and left as they are treated by the media.

We are seeing the first major breaking point for social media. Valid and logical issues just keep on getting piled on and added to until the whole thing is meaningless. Everyone wants to either call people out, or feel they are part of the story because a guy at school yelled "BOOBS" one time. It's not just SJW's now. Piers Morgan is doing it. badrogue and others did it with Bernstein. They're currently doing it to Sarah Spain because she dared challenge the Barstool empire. Everyone just wants to one up everyone else on being offended. Heck, pittmike seemingly was offended that I "defended" Julie DiCaro by making fun of the obsessed guys on here who have spent 500 pages reposting tweets and waiting for mistakes like the time she thought there were 3 MLB games when there were actually 4 MLB games. Social media has created a whole society of people desperate to be the victims. It's not just on colleges and Bernie Sanders rallies. It's now for Republicans and middle aged people!

Good observation and more of what I attempted to convey in my earlier post. You don't have to agree with me regarding right or left. It is undeniable though that media and even Entertainment Tonight type shows wanted to push things. Whatever those things may be.

The internet though has become a monster now much bigger than the powers that be can control for any angle one might try.

It's not about being a victim though. Other than being in a strip club I can probably count on 1 hand the number of times some random woman grabbed my dick. I don't have random women asking me to sleep with them everyday.

This isn't me getting on a high horse and claiming that I never did any of these things to girls/women. It's just me acknowledging that I was wrong. This is one of the major differences in the sexes that I think we all can downplay at times. It doesn't matter how the women looks if she's in public she will get harassed verbally or touched multiple times a day.

You're just doing the same thing, especially when you concentrate on things that are so unimportant like Bernstein's "BOOBS" tweet as many did on here. There were people that wanted him fired or suspended for a long time for that one on here. That's a little more than pointing out some simple hypocrisy.

_________________

I think that is borne out of the hypocrite themselves though. People like Bernstein while on the soap box call for people to be fired or otherwise harmed for relatively minor transgressions. So naturally people want him to reap what he sows.

or rumored transgressions

No, it's because people didn't like him and were using it as an excuse. I mean, it's literally the same thing that people complain about the SJWs doing.

No, it's not the same. People are sick of the gotcha, judgmental culture. They're saying, "Now don't you see how unfair, decontextualized, and irrational this is?"

I disagree but ok. This is at least a reason some do not like him don't you think.

Ive never been on facebook , twitter or any of that stuff, i only read screen shots that are posted here. Did you read the screen shots curious hair posted from Spain? She's the biggest hypocrite on the airwaves. It's only fair for others to point it out to her.

Considering that Fox News viewership equals/exceeds that of CNN/MSNBC combined and that conservative opinions still rule political talk radio, hard to argue that there's a monolithic media and it's anti-Repub/conservative.

Yeah, NY Times makes no bones about its progressive tendencies; and there are surveys showing that journalists who identify as either Repub or Dem (most journos claim to be Independents) identify as the latter/Dem 4 to 1. And when given a binary choice between "Left" and "Right"--no rheostatic "Independent" cop out--something like 75% of journos end up in the "Left" pile.

What's been evident since at least Dubya beat President John Kelly in 2004--what the media tells Americans to think isn't dispositive of elections anymore***. And Trump took that principle to another level, using media bias against his candidacy (either/both real/perceived) as a selling point for his campaign.


***it's what Putin tells Americans to think that determines outcomes in US elections.

This is false. People wanted him fired. I believe they were also looking into sending messages to sponsors and I believe a few did message his boss. It's the exact same thing.
i mean, if they had said "It's not a big deal but you shouldn't throw stones from glass houses" I'd agree.

It's not the same. Bernstein literally wants people fired all the time for things they say. And he's loud and belligerent about it. People wanted him to see how dumb he looked.

They did it because that's what he does!

So you are saying that they didn't actually want him fired, but were simply pointing out his hypocrisy in previous instances? I really misread the thoughts of a lot of people.

It's a shame that the PittMike's and BadRogue's of the world don't realize that they are the same as Dan Bernstein, Julie DiCaro, and Sarah Spain. They are living a life hating the people that they emulate every single day.

It would have been hilarious if Bernstein would have been fired for that. Justice would have been served.
