GIZMODO: Internet-Savvy Nazi Says a Bunch of Old Fashioned Nazi Shit in Leaked Tape [View all]

[Mike 03]

The real reason I'm posting this article is because of these two paragraphs:

Spencer’s ideology has become more and more mainstream, as white supremacists have come out from the shadows during the Trump era. Several mass shootings of the past few years have been directly inspired by white supremacist ideology, including the Tree of Life synagogue shooting in October of 2018 that left 11 people dead, the El Paso Walmart shooting in August 2019 that killed 22 people, and the Christchurch mosque shootings that left 51 people dead.

Mainstream news outlets continue to have Spencer on their programs, as CNN’s Jake Tapper did this past July. The theory is that we need to hear what the Nazis have to say and debate their ideology in the marketplace of ideas. But we already know what their ideology says, and there’s no such thing as a “peaceful ethnic cleansing,” as Spencer insists whenever he’s invited onto these shows.

JAKE TAPPER HAD THIS INSANE IDIOT ON IN JULY OF THIS YEAR!

IMO there is no serious journalistic justification whatsoever for having Richard Spencer or David Duke or any of these racist maniacs on mainstream television. I know Spencer had been on cable news prior to Charlottesville, but had no idea he was still getting air time. I'm reading Ronan Farrow's book about Weinstein; can you imagine having Weinstein on to give the other side of sexual violence? That is not serious journalism.

I think this is insane. /Rant over
