Title: CNN - More than the news
Post by: Primemuscle on February 03, 2019, 04:16:10 PM
CNN broadcasts more than just the "latest update" mostly political news. Their documentaries are both interesting and informational. Currently airing is a feature length documentary about identical triplets, 'Three Identical Strangers'. It covers some topics frequently discussed on Getbig, not the least of which is conspiracy. The film also questions ethics in science and male bonding, etc. In an effort to not present spoilers, I'll say no more here.

Check it out.

CNN is pretty into Russian conspiracy theories and their latest quest for truth involves tagging a blackface Democrat as a Republican, which effete true-believers will simply shrug off, yet again.

Ooops!   :-\

Funny how that little thing missed their fact checking department not only when it originally aired, but after Cooper even said that graphic was wrong and they posted the clip on social without correct the graphic or scroll at the bottom.

Even still, they continue to leave out that he's a Democrat in all of the article description links and the stories.  Closest they come to the truth is saying the DNC called for him to resign....which libs will assume is because the guy is a Republican.  Yahoo is doing the same damn thing >:(

I'll admit the trailer is very interesting.  If I can find it for free I'll watch it.

I'll also ask you to admit that the picture you posted of them above the vid is creepy as hell?  It looks like three Ted Bundy's discussing if that's their next victim.

The night of the Presidential election they were giddy in expressing how Hillary was going to win. They presented the major polls showing how she would win in an electoral landslide. The same partisan biased polls that are designed for predetermined result to suit their agenda. They had their electronic map and lit up the majority of the states for Hillary before the election. As the election progressed they actually seemed to be getting both depressed and anxious. Thought they were an objective source of news?  At the end of the night the scowls, frowns, depressed looks on their faces showed the candidate they pushed for all year was going to fail. All their work of Republican bashing and propping up their candidate wasn't validated by the vote. CNN is  propaganda both biased and partisan.  They have an agenda to the liberal ideology that's almost Orwellian.  All during the election  and most noticeable on the bottom scroll they banged the drum for the left.

This is where a liberal says what about Fox. Really? one cable channel. The left has CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, NY Times, Washington Post and all the rest. Hell the owners of social media are liberals and use their power with their utilities to manipulate the masses to their ideology. I'm getting tired of Fox myself.  They have a liberal on almost every show and on almost every segment. The liberal is well versed on counter points probably provide by the DNC think tanks in DC. Unlike the conservatives on CNN they are real Democrats.  The conservatives on CNN are moderate liberals.

I wouldn't watch anything CNN produces.  They are the least trusted network. I'm sure their friends at the major polling sources will counter what I said. Just remember all the major poll sources said Hillary would win in an electoral land slide months before the election and right up to the week of the election.

The band of Getbig clowns won't watch this. They are not interested provoking thought because they don't have the capacity to think for themselves.

The film is also available to rent on Amazon Prime for $3.99

Three Identical Strangers examines a set of American triplets, born in 1961 and adopted as six-month-old infants by separate families, unaware that each child had brothers. The separations were done as part of an undisclosed scientific "nature versus nurture" twin study, to track the development of genetically identical siblings raised in differing circumstances. Combining archival footage, re-enacted scenes, and present-day interviews, the documentary reveals how the brothers discovered one another at age 19 and thereafter sought to understand the circumstances of their separation.

The study, conducted by child psychiatrist Peter Neubauer is kept at Yale University library where it is sealed until 2065 when it is presumed all the subjects will be dead.

Not surprised at all that Prime would post a pic of young Menudo and comment on their tight jeans.  Menudo's manager was accused of being a pedo and sexually abusing most, if not all of those kids, including Ricky Martin.  No wonder Ricky turned homo.

FYI people don't turn homo that's simply not possible. But then, how would you know unless you're a homo?

Menudo was a very popular 'boy band' in the 80's, specially with young women. Celebrities often influence fashion.

I didn't know Edgardo Díaz had been accused of pedophilia. Was it big news or does this stuff interest you?

Typical pedo defender.  After a very simple search:

"In 1991, Diaz was accused by ex members of Menudo of sexual abuse towards Menudo members. In a May 1991 Univision Television Program "Cristina Show", he refuted the allegations. Diaz has been the target of several sexual crime allegations by former Menudo members, including Ralphy Rodriguez and Roy Rossello, who accused him of sexual abuse during a Brazilian reality show's transmission on 21 October 2014"

Bullshit!  The number of gay people that have been either raised by single mom's or sexually assualted is mind-blowingly disproportionate to heterosexuals .  Is that just a coincidence?

You often quote gay publications or La-La Land shit.  Read the celebrity interviews.  Obviously I have not seen them all, but every celebrity that is either openly gay or "seems to be" talks about one or both of those things in the deeper interviews they do.

If being raised by single moms "turns" people gay, then there will be a huge increase in the gay population. What about dads who don't have much time or just don't interact with their kids? What about kids who pretty much fend for themselves because both parents work?

Neither I nor most of the gay folks I know have ever participated in a study about being raised by a single mom or being sexually assaulted. Is there someone we can contact, so our experiences can be included in these findings.

One of the primary topics of the film 'Identical Strangers', I recommended is about a study into to what determines who we are, nature or nurture.

Once again you're responding emotionally vs rationally, and often not open to things other than your own beliefs (though you're more open than many IMO).  My post was anecdotal in regards to evidence, and yes it is overwhelmingly disproportionate based on watching/reading/listening to your wonderful MSM and based on my experience with gays of both sexes and a myriad of shitty things that happened to them.  Maybe heterosexuals just aren't as dramatic about being raped/molested or embarrassed to talk about it, so I'll concede that to you.  

If I'm reading you right, you are gay?  It doesn't change my view of you, I just didn't know.  If you are, and you want to participate in the study you are wanting to be included in it is being conducted by the same group that has found all white straight males to be evil, racists, fascists, bigots, etc.  

I was just as upset as you Prime that I wasn't involved in that particular study of white straight males as you are about the other one.  So I reached out to them to be included in the one I'm upset about.  I suggest you do the same.

LOL...projecting much?  You are the one posting a photo of sexually abused Menudo kids, commenting on their tight jeans, then denying their manager is a pedo who sexually abused them.  That and many of your posts in the past defending pedos give you away.

Thank you for the link. I will look into this.

If my response seemed emotional, it wasn't meant to be. I am not an emotional person according to my late wife and my daughter. My tendency is towards sorting stuff out logically.

Most people cite results without questioning how they were determined. This also explains why polls are so often inaccurate. I could be wrong but it seems as if people are more apt to participate in surveys when they have had negative experiences that spiked their interest in being heard. Woe is me prevails over I'm fine.

Without doubt, dramatically negative experiences influence our thinking. Some say abusers were more likely to have been abused. But, how is this determined, when people who weren't abused are much less likely to make statements about this, unless asked. Especially in today's 'Me Too' and litigious times, victims seem to being coming out of the woodwork. And thusly are getting all the attention, specially from the media. There's not much of a story to tell with people whose lives have been uneventful and it is clearly not news worthy.

Other people may choose to classify and label me, despite that they really don't know who I am as a person. I dislike labels because they result from generalizations and assumptions and not personal knowledge of a person. These days, so many new labels are being invented in an effort for others to define people or for them  to describe themselves. My life experience is unique to me and should be of little interest to other folks with whom I don't have a close or intimate relationship. However, I've stated that I am bisexual because it best fits my sexual experiences over my lifetime.

Please tell me you're joking about the website.  If you're not, you're either lying that you'll look into it, or just didn't take the time to decipher it outloud.  If you really looked into it (i.e. clicked on it) you'd reply something like "very funny asshole!" ;D

That was a long way to go to get to the answer of being bi-sexual.  It doesn't change how I view you in anyway, and I'm just giving you shit about taking so long to get to the answer obviously since I often have it pointed out what a "wordy fuck" I am.  I think we both just post as if we were in person having an actual conversation.

The only opinion I have on the bi-sexual thing is that it is just seems like kind of being afraid to say or accept a person is actually gay IMO.  I know that's not necessarily true and partly depends on a person's journey with their sexuality, but the fact is at least part of you is gay.  As a straight man, that's hard for me to grasp the concept of being bi.  You either like the thought of dick or you don't.  You likely have a preference toward one sex or the other, or else a person (male anyway) would be walking around with a half-stiffy at some point every day as someone is going to likely be hot that crosses your path.  I don't care what yours is so u don't need to respond to that, I'm just sayin.

Anyway, after all of that on both of our parts I would hope that you remember this on the political board and in life.  I'm white, Christian, straight, conservative Independent, and voted for Trump.  I do not hate you at all.  The vast majority like me don't hate you either like the media wants you to believe.  In fact, you're one of my favorite posters to banter back and forth with. 8) 

Although, I will likely make fun of you now at some point just to keep things real on Get Big. LOL!  You know I'm a midget, so feel free to take your shots as well.  It's what makes this place fun! :D

Last things first; I did not know you were a midget. Isn't the term midget a derogatory slur? Dwarf or little person are preferable from what I've read.

Hate is a mighty strong term. I am glad you don't hate me. I'll try to keep who you are in mind when conversing with you.

As I hoped to convey, I don't like labels because they box people in. Labeling oneself bisexual is a sure fire way to be treated as a pariah. Maybe this is why it took a short wall of text to get to it. What's more, it is an incomplete and inaccurate label in my case. I've only been in love once and that was with my late wife. At this point, I am totally sexually inactive. Therefore, I pose no threat to anyone.

Honestly, if I checked out the website it left no impression on me. Guess I didn't since it doesn't exist. The laugh's on me.  :)

As I hoped to convey, I don't like labels because they box people in. Labeling oneself bisexual is a sure fire way to be treated as a pariah. Maybe this is why it took a short wall of text to get to it. What's more, it is an incomplete and inaccurate label in my case. I've only been in love once and that was with my late wife. At this point, I am totally sexually inactive. Therefore, I pose no threat to anyone.

Honestly, if I checked out the website it left no impression on me. Guess I didn't since it doesn't exist. The laugh's on me.  :)

My point was my opinion isn't any less of you regardless.  I certainly don't consider anyone's preference a threat FFS unless a guy is trying to touch me in that kind of way.

I have a sense of humor, and make jokes about my height all the time.  If someone's being an asshole I'll put them in their place verbally, and make them look like a fool.  If someone has a funny, I will gladly be the punchline and laugh right with everyone else. 

Dwarfism is 4'10" and under IIRC. 

Midget is just a term for a short person that's otherwise built like everyone else.  From my experience in life, anyone under 5'8" is likely to hear a lot of midget/short jokes.  I'm in that category.

I've noticed even when just lurking that you mention your wife quite often.  Seems like you miss her a lot.  Sorry for your loss.  Like they say, "better to have loved and lost....."
