    I feel like this may need a cw for racism, this is pretty mask off even for Walsh.

    Lots of Rezzes are rough but some are actually flourishing because they put a bunch of that casino money toward things like social programs, scholarships, cultural revitalization, language preservation, infrastructure etc. But I wouldn't expect nuance from a racist sexist nerd like Matt Walsh.

      Yeah we got guns now. And for better or for worse a lot of folks who had military experience and training. Good luck to the Bubba Brigades

    Isn't he the guy that abused his pregnant wife?

    Oh my bad it was crowder.

    Well you can't blame me because all of these guys are pretty similar. Expect his own abuse allegations in the future.

    They’d institute this policy in a heartbeat. And when the inevitable protests occurred they’d legalize running protesters over with cars and protest leaders would be black bagged left and right. This is genocidal rhetoric.

    These are no doubt sincerely held beliefs, but they are definitely also engagement bait.

    "Not the Indians"

    Anyone else notice this very weird trait with Western 'journalists'/commentators, where they form their own opinions on others absolutely absent actually talking to them and hearing what they have to say; similar to that German woman (politician? she was on the news at some point) where she was saying that Russians aren't really European and don't value life, and have a different view towards death, or basically any Western 'journalist' who has a bizarre opinion on foreign cultures, where they don't actually invite anyone from it to confirm whether or not this is indeed part of their culture?

    Why not ask the native population if they're content with the reservations or not? If this is actually about helping them, then get their opinion on it, heck, democracy right? Get them to vote on it.

    Perhaps this style of journalism is actually correct but it seems clownishly unprofessional; I can't help but feel like it's little better than modern superstition, but then I'd have to actually ask journalists why they think this behavior is normal or grants accurate results if I want to be principled about it.

      Walsh is a fascist so he doesn't have to pretend to care.

      It's because journalism as a profession in the west is more about propaganda and manufacturing consent for the ruling class than it is about getting at the truth or reality of a situation. Their opinion is the only part that's actually necessary or relevant to their purpose. Any "investigation" they do is just a garnish to legitimize whatever narrative they're being paid to propagate. Why would they ask questions of people whose answers will probably contradict that narrative? It is clownishly unprofessional, but for a number of reasons, including just the sheer volume of "news" vying for attention, it's become less and less needed recently to provide that pretense of doing any investigation.
