Biden has ‘absolutely lost the plot’ and the media is just as bad
US President Joe Biden has “absolutely lost the plot” all while the media has reached a new low in its “blind protection” of him, according to Sky News Digital Editor Jack Houghton.
Mr Houghton said Biden is “clearly deteriorating and cracking under pressure” following several recent gaffes – including being caught on a hot mic uttering profanities at a Fox News reporter.
“What is irritating and ridiculous beyond comprehension is the way journalists are refusing to condemn what is clearly unpresidential behaviour,” Mr Houghton said.
“You don’t have to be a conservative to see how ideologically possessed these reporters have become and how it influences their work.”
SOB is not a profanity. It is bad language, but it isn’t blasphemy.
“ideologically possessed these reporters”
They are not reporters, they are spokespersons. i.e. pitchmen.
Nor are they ideologically possessed; they are making a lucrative living reading ad copy for the same client.
“Nor are they ideologically possessed;”
Demonically possessed.
The left has been clamoring for dictatorship for a long time - as long as it’s their dictatorship.
They are not journalists. They are political operatives.
The demonicrats have been infiltrated by the Chicom and deep state.
The plot is to destroy the United State’s national sovereignty so that it can easily be folded into the one world government, ruled by the anti-Christ.
“In its older, more literal sense, “profanity” refers to a lack of respect for things that are held to be sacred.”
While I don’t believe that the meaning of words can never change, I am coming to the conclusion that some purity is in order here an antidote to the practice of marxists to make words mean universally whatever they want them to mean, i.e. they set the meaning of words no the original utterers of those words. The opposite of relativism is absolutism. Apply principles of equity to the exhortation “all leftists who twist the meaning of words to attain a political end should be shot.”
FWIW the OED provides a first known use of “profane” in the sense of “vulgarizing” from 1843.
It’s a problem with the OED. From the start the editors decided to go with the flow rather than hold the line. It’s the start of the demise of western civilization.
We’re talking about cited usage before any of Marx’s influential writings. Really hard to attribute to leftists. (And I am quoting from the 1989 unabridged OED.)
I find the idea that English should have been ossified back in, what, 1300? to be laughable.
Now, talk to me about the CDC’s multiple updates in the last two years to the definition of “vaccine”...
For goodness sakes, I am just having fun here. But it is an interesting idea. Should we have ossified our language as middle english, which was largely Anglo-Saxon, or law French?
Media has reached a new low in its “blind protection”.
China 1948 ??.
Tagline says it with every post.
I’m for the pre-Latinate grunts.
More poetic.
With the east coast storm, is SlowJoe gonna be able to get back to Delaware for his weekend medicinal tune-up?
The French have tried to protect the purity on their language through law and the Académie Française.
It never works. The French still go to McDonald’s for “le hamburger.”
I have to admit though I am somewhat of a purist myself. It still grates on my nerves to hear someone say “stadiums” or “octopuses.” The pural of octopus being octopodes of course.
