CNN Takes January 6 Obsession to New Level of Stupid

CNN’s obsessive obsession with January 6 is ridiculous. Fox News’ Hanna Panreck reported that John Blake, a CNN.com analyst took the obsession to new heights on Sunday. 

Joe Rogan uses the n-word again is another January 6 moment

Blake began his long article: 

The podcaster Joe Rogan did not join a mob that forced lawmakers to flee for their lives. The Confederate flag was never displayed inside his Capitol rotunda. He never had to be stopped from using the “n-word.”

But what Rogan and those that defend him have done since video clips of him using the n-word surfaced on social media is arguably just as dangerous as what a mob did when they stormed the US Capitol on January 6 last year….

Rogan’s racist slurs are a clear sign of our nation’s insensitivity to increasing violence — verbal and physical.

We allow White people to use the most offensive racial epithets in English without any punishment. We can become another country.

We are willing to accept the acceptance of a new form of political violence, which is just as perilous as the January 6 attack.

A nasty racial epithet can be a fighting word, but it isn’t a “form of violence.” CNN changed its headline after conservative Twitter ridiculed it relentlessly. 

It is dangerous to ignore Joe Rogan’s use the n-word.

Blake also compared Rogan’s N-words with the Rwandan genocide in which an estimated 800,000. people were killed: 

Atrocities are often triggered when people who hold power employ dehumanizing language to describe others groups.

This is not an ancient story. Think about what occurred in Rwanda less than thirty years ago when 800,000 civilians were killed in three months in 1994. Hutu extremists also targeted the Tutsi minority, which was the majority of those who died, and moderate Hutus.

The violence was partly triggered by messages sent from Rwandan leaders. Rogan was one of many who had both a public megaphone (and an audience).

Oh, but  “Genocide is a worst-case scenario,” he added. 

Joe Concha, a media analyst, called it “your awful headline of the month.” It is available on Fox & Friends, he added “Keep going with these headlines, guys, because you’re only helping him, and no one’s buying it.”  He added that Rogan and his podcast attract a much larger audience than CNN.
