https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/apr/12/fox-mentions-alexandria-ocasio-cortez-for-42-days-running Fox channels have mentioned the US congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for 42 consecutive days, a study has found. The 29-year-old liberal star received at least 3,181 mentions in six weeks from Fox News or its sister Fox Business, according to research by Media Matters for America, a not-for-profit media watchdog. The finding will reinforce perceptions that Fox, owned by media mogul Rupert Murdoch, is obsessed by Ocasio-Cortez, portraying her as a radical socialist who threatens the American way of life. Courtney Hagle, a researcher at Media Matters for America, said: “Ocasio-Cortez is brought up constantly, even if the topic has nothing to do with her, as with the recent terror attacks in New Zealand. Hosts and guests smear and misrepresent Ocasio-Cortez’s agenda, caricaturing it while painting it as radical, dangerous, far-left socialism.” Hagle added: “Fox figures go on extended, aggressively angry rants about her. They’ve repeatedly attacked her intelligence, used her age to discredit her, and dismissed her as a ‘little girl’.” After only three months in Congress, Ocasio-Cortez has attracted outsized coverage in general, including a Time magazine cover and a huge social media presence. She has nearly 4 million followers on Twitter.
They talk about Trump Derangement Syndrome when he is the President yet don't have enough self-awareness to see how much more absurd going on about a congresswoman is?
I have a feeling like this is only gonna make her more polular. I'll give it less than 10 years before she runs for president
Something something free rent in conservatives’ heads
Keep it up, you're doing good work for AOC
That's almost as much as my dad mentions her
conservatives are horny people https://grrrgraphics.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/siren_song_of_socialism-blood-1024x745.jpg
Seems conservatives are horny to hate her figuratively and literally.
Conservatives: mock others as "snowflakes" for getting "triggered" by anything that bursts their bubble Also conservatives: go into a year-long media panic because a socialist (monocles pop) woman (gasps) of color (mass fainting) gets elected and dares to voice opinions
I love how the "Horror of venezuela" is literally the only defense against socialism I have ever seen out of fox news and Ben cartoons Instead of the hundreds of actual arguments they could make they always pick this literal NPC's
i like how even his supporters draw his hands tiny
and its CNN that has mania...
It is, and I'm pretty sure a similar thing propelled Trump from "Meme candidate" to "President", but more importantly I really gotta ask how this is news. Boy, Guardian news, really nailing them headlines here.

I would love, love, if some talented artist extended this drawing to the right a bit to show the jutting jagged rocks of plutocracy that Trump is steering the ship toward.
Note how equality is painted as a bad thing here.
Equality is oppression to the bigoted.
Note: Trump doesn't require ear-plugs in this picture because it's impossible for him to pay attention to anything that doesn't involve him.
To those people, equality doesn't mean that other people aren't automatically better than you, it means that you aren't automatically better than other people.
You know what this reminds me of? There's this old little story that talks about an angry, militant Atheist that told himself every single day to not believe in God. Every single day he would remind himself to "not believe in God". Every day, until the day he died. Then he wakes up. He's in Heaven, and there's God, inviting him in. He's terribly confused. You see, in his struggle to push God out of his mind, he actually ended up keeping him on his mind for his entire life and was granted a place in Heaven for his constant God-centered thoughts. Basically it's the Streisand effect. The more you try to draw people's attention away from something, the more attention it'll get.

The only way not to turn into a fucking cynic is to look at Trump like Dave Chappelle does. I mean, how can you not? Look at Trump and tell me we can't do better than that. Not only in the US, but also everywhere else. I hope that Trump will be the last fart of dying generation the world will be much better off without. Or maybe it's just old white people freaking out because they realise the next 50 presidents are going to be black and/or hispanic.
She's going to be president someday. The president of the United States is going to give me a boner. Ain't that a thought.
Popular with who? People who watch Fox news? They're rallying hatred against her. They're going to damn her like Clinton before she even gets that far. We're all laughing at how "obsessed" they are about her, but the audience they actually care about is hearing the right message: AOC is tiresome and ridiculous and needs to be removed.
Because that's the most pressing issue regarding her.
Hey, some of us are into feet, so maybe that ain't a bad thing https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/132446/fae94a09-3b97-4fa2-9ffc-638ed200a9b2/emot-pervert.gif
It's certainly pressing against the thighs of man a suddenly embarrassed guy.
Of course it's not. Her policies are a nice breath of fresh air from all the neo-liberal bullshit we've been getting, and she's consistently coming out on top of constant conservative efforts to tear her down. She also happens to be an attractive woman, which isn't exactly the image that comes to my mind when I think of the word "politician".
Ben should really ask Trump on a date already.
