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.”

[[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 do if you’re autistic and can scream “How Dare You!” with a Satanic-like rage that makes even the demons tremble-

Did she lecture the hypocrites for flying to Spain in gas guzzling jets?

it’s real in the sense that the left chose her because
1: She’s female
2: She’s autistic (Which oddly enough the left despise and want to eliminate through abortion, EXCEPT when they can exploit the disability for their own gain)
3: She’s young

They scream bloody hell whenever the right question her declaring “How dare you question this poor disabled child?”

They knew what they were doing- creating an unassailable spokesperson

[[she is at the far left of the Bell Curve.]]

Except that she can recall things, which is typical of asperger’s- an obsessive drive and ability to recall what they obsess about to the minute details- If you’ve ever met soemone with her condition, you will know what I’m talking about- they have an uncanny ability to remember small details- they actually make good statisticians - but they have no social skills at all- it’s almost liek they have what was once called ‘idiot savant syndrome’- Rainman movie portrayed what I’m talking about-

Appears to me she is a graduate of the AOC “School of Small Intellects and Huge Egos”.

Greta and all of the others with “climate anxiety” should read this:

https://cliffmass.blogspot.com/2019/12/promoters-of-climate-anxiety.html

My illustrious governor - wacko JayZ Inslee - is an absolute nut case. He has full-blown climate anxiety and an acute case of TDS. He and the other “adults” and “scientists” who preach climate crisis are emotionally and psychologically damaging our kids and grandkids. They are pathetic people and should be shunned. Unfortunately, JayZ will probably get reelected. Which says little for my fellow Washingtonians.

It’s bad enough they’re ignorant children who don’t understand enough to have an informed opinion in the first place, but to REFUSE to go to school and educate oneself so one can understand and contribute is typical of these Know-Nothings.

They have no idea, is what’s pissing me off. I remember when it really WAS like she is describing. Where every creekbed was a dumpsite; every stream a sewer, most rivers industrially polluted, palls over the cities every day; Most of that got cleaned up. But it was a successful tactic and now it will never die on its own, it will just complain more and more about less and less.

Been posted a thousand times on thousands of threads and probably not originally yours.

Just taking on the premise of the linked article: the three networks are very excited about Greta, and Time named her Person of the Year. This inspires “young people”.

We are into the holiday season. If you are not ordinarily around people in their teens or early 20’s, maybe you will be at this time of year. See if they can name the three networks. Ask them if they have ever seen Time Magazine. Then, ask them to name the most famous Swede they can name. It won’t be Greta. It will be Pewdiepie. By a wide margin.
