The NY Times’ accurate headline about a President Trump speech angers readers — some of whom cancel subscriptions — and sparks an emergency meeting where the executive editor calls the headline “an f-ing mess.” What fueled this outrage and chaos? In his speech after the El Paso mass shooting, Trump called on Americans to abandon racism, and come together against hate. However, the front page headline –“Trump Urges Unity Against Racism” — upset the Left’s narrative of the president as a race-baiter and minority hater. The headline was shortly replaced with “Assailing Hate But Not Guns”.
[We apologize for two brief audio glitches in this video. Obscured moments are both contained in this description.]
Here’s are the relevant passages from President Trump’s speech:
“The shooter in El Paso posted a manifesto online consumed by racist hate. In one voice, our nation must condemn racism, bigotry, and white supremacy. These sinister ideologies must be defeated. Hate has no place in America. Hatred warps the mind, ravages the heart, and devours the soul…Now is the time to set destructive partisanship aside, so destructive, and find the courage to answer hatred with unity, devotion, and love.”

Scott, I should create a shortcut key for this comment. Awesome close!
Thanks, Ralph.
Why should the NY Times be surprised that the people it trained bite back?
Speaking of news suppression you have to search to find this:
‘Jim Comey’s daughter is prosecutor in Epstein sex trafficking case’
This would be implausible in a work of fiction. There are 327 million people in the United States, if Ivanka ‘just happened to have that job do you think the press would find it interesting.
Watch it, Steve. Adam West will always be Batman to me!
Signed, girl that never read comic books.
I’d pay extra to see Whittle and Green LARP fight.
Superman II was a better movie.
Now KNEEL… before ZOD!
Scott, I loved the Max Headroom-esque tic at the :30 mark! Just curious, but how many new subscribers would you need for us to buy you the effects needed for you to appear as Max in every video?
Come on, you know you’d look sharp rocking a suit, shades and slicked back hair!
I keep telling myself, it’s a feature, not a bug.
Yes, and no more visibly bad hair cuts.
That’s right. To avoid bad haircuts, eliminate hair.
Gentlemen, I’d like to help resolve your conflict. 🙂
It seems that (God forbid) that both Steve and Bill are wrong.
The first use of CGI was in the movie Westworld, 1973. That was apparently the first use of 2D CGI. The first use of 3D CGI was in the sequel of Westworld, Futureworld, 1976.
Glad to be of assistance! 🙂
Oh, and I’m looking forward to the CGI sword fight between Bill and Steve!
I’m going to need more specifics reference on both of those as well as a definition of what is CGI. I’ve see both films. Westworld had some IR effects for the bots that were likely done in post. And, on a made-for-TV budget, I don’t recall any CGI effects in Future World.
Now considering it took a huge amount of time and computing power to create the Death Star run simulation for the briefing in Star Wars and in Escape From New York, to create the digital effects in Plissken’s cockpit, they painted the edges of their NYC model w/ UV paint rather than doing it w/ computer which would be brand-dead simple today, I find it really hard to believe they used any computer generated effects or compositing in the early to mid 70s.
Not the first use of CGI, but a very specific first use — digitally erasing support wires. And that honor goes, as I said in the segment, to the Arnold’s motorcycle jump in T2’s first chase sequence.
And they really flew the helicopter under the bridges in the canals.
Off to watch my old T2 VHS now. Thanks
The way I avoid being wrong is to know nothing, and to admit it. That’s indisputable.
