Kpete deleted her post about "Complicit" National Enquirer pic, but...

[Moosepoop]

For the record, the pic she posted (in a tweet by someone else) IS on the National Enquirer website.

No, it is not on the front page.

Nowhere in Kpete's OP, or in the linked tweet in that OP, did or does it say "on the front page."

It says/said "National Enquirer website" -- and the pic in question is there, today.

It is one of seven pics posted on June 2nd as a "Photo Gallery" -- with the headline:

"Affair Game!
Joe & Mika: TV Couple’s Sleazy Cheating Scandal
'Morning' lovebirds vow to make it legal as The ENQUIRER asks questions!"

All of it is still there.

Here's the link: http://www.nationalenquirer.com/photos/joe-scarborough-mika-brzezinski-affair/

The author of the OP was hounded into deleting it, unfairly in my opinion. The thread was deleted while I was typing this response, which is the reason for this OP on my part.

1. Was this the same story Trump supposedly wouldn't stop?

You're right by the way. All those photos are there

This is confusing though. The story was in early June and, frankly, not very damaging to TV personalities. Was Trump threatening to give the magazine some other info for an article? Or is he just lying so much that at this point he's confusing even himself

[MineralMan]

3. Nobody bothered to post that NE story on June 2, when it appeared.

It was just another stupid NE celebrity gossip story. That's why. Had it been published "right now" as the tweet claimed, it would have been important, given the tweet by Trump. It wasn't published now, though. It was published almost a month ago and went unnoticed.

It was the "right now" in the post title and the tweet that was misleading. Not just a simple mistake. It was misleading. The tweet was also not checked before posting a link to it, apparently.

Nobody cared about the NE story when it first appeared. Had it appeared in that rag today, though, it would have been important. But, it wasn't on the NE home page "right now." It appeared almost a month ago.

[boston bean]

5. So, who cares? It appearing earlier gives it more credence and relevance.

And NO it wasn't misleading.

[Moosepoop]

21. It is on the website right now.

The tweet never said "published right now," and neither did the OP.

It said "on" the website "right now," and it was, and is.

"Published right now" was not "claimed" or even implied, in my opinion, though you inferred it that way.

True, it wasn't posted here a month ago when it was published, as far as I know. It wasn't relevant then.

It may or may not be now.

I'm not trying to pick a fight with you, MineralMan. I'm simply setting the record straight about a deleted OP.

Peace.

[dsc]

24. the relevant time period is when the WH was applying the pressure

Is this from that time frame? If so, it is relevant as all get out. I don't know the time frame involved so I don't know how relevant this is.

[wishstar]

37. Per Joe, the White House calls and Nat Enquirer harassment occurred from late April into early May

followed by the story being printed June 2

[Moosepoop]

8. I don't know.

Not sure on the timeline of events as to stories and threats... just that the "Photo Gallery" the disputed pic is from does indeed currently appear on the Enquirer website.

[jberryhill]

2. Is there an English translation of whatever this post is about?

[leftstreet]

12. OJ Simpson needs a kidney. Judy Garland was murdered

Get with the program!

[jberryhill]

13. CALL CONGRESS RIGHT FUCKING NOW!!!!

[Maraya1969]

17. Oh shit.

[LOL Lib]

27. Fredrick Douglas is donating the kidney

It's all set, please tell OJ

[Moosepoop]

14. Here's the link to the deleted OP

https://www.democraticunderground.com/10029271971

The pic isn't there, it was in the OP that was deleted. The rest of the discussion remains.

The link I posted to the Enquirer website has the pic, plus six others.

The one that was posted and deleted is #4 in the "Photo Gallery."

[jberryhill]

28. I don't know what a link to a deleted post is supposed to show

Still don't know what this thread is about.

Whatever.

One thing I notice in communications fairly often is that is very common for a person to attempt to communicate something, but the person might not quite understand how the content of what they communicate does not reflect the information in their head which, yes, they completely understand, but which does not manage to make it into whatever they are communicating.

[jayschool2013]

34. Put that thing over there

Drives me nuts. What thing, where and on what?

[MineralMan]

4. Nobody "hounded" anyone.

I suggested that the OP edit the original post to reflect the actual time when the article appeared. I never even hinted that the OP should delete the thread. Not even close.

[boston bean]

6. and you wrote an OP about how we all should conduct ourselves using twitter.

[MineralMan]

7. Yes, I did. And I was polite about it, too.

People will do as they please.

[boston bean]

9. right, that is a given. So??

[Demsrule86]

11. I would not have asked for the thread to be deleted either...however, when you post shite like

that you help Trump.

[MineralMan]

15. When I make a mistake in an OP and someone tells me about it,

I go back and edit the OP to make a correction. Then, I thank the person for correcting me.

I've done that a number of times, and appreciate corrections when I post an error.

[boston bean]

18. There was nothing to correct. As a matter of fact the earlier publishing of it, lends more relevance

to the post and the actions that actually did occur before this blackmail was made public.

[kpete]

23. that is what I usually do too

this time,
it just did not seem worth it


peace,
kp

[Maraya1969]

26. My problem is I have these brilliant ideas, which are sometimes not so brilliant

or only 1/2 thoughts and I post and run to do something else. I don't do it on purpose but I'm sometimes the last to know I've made mistakes

[Demsrule86]

10. Why did you bother...you play into Trump's tiny hands...glad the other OP was deleted...sorry you

posted this.

[Moosepoop]

16. Why are you sorry I posted this?

Please explain exactly how this thread plays into Trump's hands.

[Demsrule86]

40. Why would you spread Trump propaganda?

By posting it here that is what you are doing.

[Maraya1969]

19. These things happen here because people can be a bit histrionical. eom

[trotsky]

20. On DU?!?!?

WHAT?!?!?

[Maraya1969]

25. HA! eom

[jberryhill]

29. What kind of an attitude is that? "These things happen"!

[kpete]

22. I was not exactly hounded

but just thought there wasn't enought there, there...


thanks for your reply Moosepoop
love your name

kp

[cwydro]

31. No, you were lectured

in an annoying, supercilious manner.

There was nothing wrong with your OP at all.

[shadowmayor]

30. Both of these people are high class turds

Just because they're kicking the stuffing out of Trump, doesn't make them our "friends". Same with Comey, the NY Times, WaPo and any other lousy media outlet or government stooge. What these two "family values" idiots do with each other is none of my business. Do feel for the kids and jilted spouses in these things though.

I have always despised MSNBC for allowing Morning Joe on their channel. I don't respect Mika or Joe one spec. And I really don't give a shit about tabloid newspapers.

This is just more stupid distraction to keep us from learning about things that truly matter - like Fukushima, or the government cuts to agencies across the board, or blocking voters during elections, and how many cities and towns have lead in their drinking water right now, or 22 million starving to death on planet earth?

Can't wait until this stupid story goes away.

[Duppers]

35. The Washington Post

Has done some damn good reporting in its day. I'm not cancelling my subscription, thank you.

[shadowmayor]

38. WMD's?

Yes, some of our papers get it right some of the time. Other times, they proudly and loudly carry water for the powers that be. Where is Sy Hersh's latest investigation on the phony Sarin gas attack in Syria? In a German newspaper. Why is the American press so fearful of reporting on views that run counter to what they "want" to report?

[Duppers]

39. Good points. ☝

I remember being furious then and writing everyone I knew that they were lying. Thanks for the refresher.

[lutherj]

32. All the infighting aside, why would anyone care about the NE story? "Affair", "Sleazy Cheating

Scandal"? "Make it legal"?

It's not an "affair", as they are both single, and it is legal in any case. They are two people who are romantically involved. The fake prudishness and and anachronistic outrage is just more misogyny, an attempt at slut-shaming. Only in Donald Trump's sick subjective mind is this somehow payback.

Fake news! Sad.

[j3161usa]

33. Joe is Not the President

So who cares their affair.

[Duppers]

36. Exactly!
