Nets Grovel Before Greta: She's 'Woke' With a 'Sweet Voice' That's 'Inspired a Lot of Kids'

All three networks devoted reports Wednesday to hyping radical Swedish teen climate change activist Greta Thunberg being honored by Time Magazine today with their “Person of the Year” award. Journalists from ABC, NBC, and CBS all praised the “deserving” “good choice” and touted the teen “taking on” world leaders while “inspiring” other teens to become climate evangelists.

NBC spent the most time groveling over Greta. They even had Time’s editor-in-chief Edward Felsenthal on to puff up the teen as “the biggest voice on the biggest issue facing the planet this year,” leading a “worldwide movement.”

Today show co-host Hoda Kotb praised the radical teen’s “brutal honesty” while “confronting world leaders about climate change” with her, “how dare you!” scolding.

As if that wasn’t bad enough, on the third hour of Today there was more fangirling by the NBC journalists. The panel lauded the “good choice” from the magazine.

Today co-host Sheinelle Jones marveled at the 16-year-old’s “sweet voice” that she used to bash world leaders with at the UN summit: “And she's got that sweet voice….Everybody thought, aww look at this cute little girl, and she went for it!"

“She’s the face of young social activism,” fellow co-host Craig Melvin touted, adding that she was “woke.”

Say, time magazine, are you glad to see me or is that a truck load of irrelevance in your pocket. So, high school drop outs are now lauded and admired? Assclowns united could do a better job. And the lames? OMG! You folks really are stoopid. Have grrrrrrrreta take a stab at these and have grrrrrrrreta get back to us:

1. Define the “correct” temperature range for the planet.

2. Define the “correct” humidity range for the planet.

3. Define the “correct” mean sea level for the planet.

4. Define the “correct” amount of precipitation for the planet.

5. Define the “correct” makeup of the atmosphere.

6. Define the “correct” amount of sea ice at the N/S poles.

7. Define/explain past glaciation and subsequent warming without any input from humans.

Asking for a friend.

Make no mistake. She is the face of a movement that intends to destroy Western Civilization, the United States, and capitalism in general in pursuit of global communism. THAT is the reason for this pursuit of Greta. Pure and simple.

Hey kids! Life is not like that. You don’t get to play hookey from school and ride for free on someone’s luxury yacht. You have to work and earn a living. This may be hard to accept for someone coming from a socialist paradise like Sweden, but you need the majority of people working productively, or it all collapses.

Our civilization has gotten to where it is in part by using petroleum products, which are in the ground and provide energy, free for the taking. If you want us to go back to sitting around campfires at night before going into our thatched huts to sleep, then keep trying to eliminate petroleum products.

There’s something called “real life.” I’ve been living it, and you will need to too.

I wonder how Camera Hog feels that he has been replaced with this girl lol

She will be popular for a few months until the media finds their new shiny star.

Just ignore her, she will go away. Just not worth it, just like Camera Hog

Dear media, I wonder who still bothers to watch your slop day after day? I and certainly many others don't.

Kids are the biggest hypocrites

None of them are going to give up their iphones

None are going to give up their clothes, their bags, their shoes, etc

None are going to give up their homes with AC and Central heat

None are going to give up their cars, hot showers, cold showers

All they are is a bunch of talk and complaining with no real solutions to the imaginary problems they believe in

This is just “save the whales” on a larger scale

The entire Greta phenomenon is fake. This is a media creation, planned and executed by people who came up with it in a media company boardroom. Her appeal is supposed to be to young people, but she is pushed by media outlets that young people don’t watch.

Face of a spoiled entitled brat, just like 99% of the kids her age

She is being used, but she thinks she is a trail blazer doing what no else has ever done before

She is high on her own supply of BS

***She will be popular for a few months until the media finds their new shiny star.***

Like the old Teen Beat and Tiger Beat magazines from 45 years ago. A new shiny star lasted about 90 days on the cover till he or she was replaced with a newer version.

The same exact people who came up with the phenomenon called “Beto O’Rourke”.

Not to mention Kamala Harris.

In fact, over a short period of time, it becomes readily apparent that “The Media” is totally full of sh!t.

Thunturd is basically a psychopomp in service to the environs-fascists ; her design is to whip the masses into a frenzy so government control of our lives can expand to fill every minutia of life.

No one can change the weather, or interdict it wholesae. Government is no solution,. When the dutch needed lad from the sea, they reclaimed it. The government in the old days had nothing to do with it.

Any one with an pounce of sense and a modicum of genuine weather science knows that they would not want to inherit a world created by Thunturd and her emotive hoo haw.

Lets have her insurrection, and then she will see what that environoment, that is then hers, will create for these idiots.

She is no Joan of Arc...Joan of Bark more like.

“developing child”

She turns 17 in less than a month. Developmentally, she is at the far left of the Bell Curve.
