    Here's the concept that the NPCs don't understand

    there's an old adage, 'There's no such thing as bad publicity'
    especially FREE PUBLICITY

    Question, I know you know this answer but these NPCs do not

    A movie comes out. What's the worst publicity for it?

    A. Good Reviews
    B. Bad Reviews
    C. No to very Few Reviews

    The answer is C.

    This whole Tucker show, that I don't give a crap about is #1 for a reason.
    it's A and B.

    These are hot takes shows for their target audience.

    Is Tucker and his staff making a show for Republicans or Democrats?
    It's both.

    Same way Stephen A Smith FAKE DEMONIZES the Dallas Cowboys.
    The Cowboy haters and Cowboy fans both watch.

    But you know this.

    It's ironic to post how above the thread you are by not really participating in the thread while still posting like a rubbernecker. "Elevating my game" with a joke means I have to put out more attention than what low effort you cool kids already bring out.

    Why bother?

    I validated you with a response though, but I'm all out of cookies. :(

    BTW, I didn't care much about Kyle before but now I have some form of morbid curiosity of determining how genuine his PTSD is after seeing that panic attack on the stand.

    Again, he's a low life scrub from Milwaukee, so all of our current attention is, in a way, his way out to Makin It.

    I don't have an issue with that hustle but the first issue lingers since he offed three people. Rosenbaum was nuts but I think either of the other two had more "normal" lives that are snuffed out.

    I guess someone like you can play that off on your PS5 and lay low until your stars reset.

    The trial was about a dude who attacked a dude with a rifle .
    One dude tried to hit him with a skateboard and got shot
    The other dude had a gun and pointed at him

    Verdict is over.
    Trials are about laws and evidence

    I guess people here want an HBO special like Michael Jackson to make them feel good about not getting the verdict they wanted

    You're right. Grosskuertz was only shot in the arm.

    And, (in his own words) Rittenhouse didn't point a gun at him until Grosskuertz pointed a gun at Rittenhouse.

    I'm not disputing the trial.

    My curiosity is how a minor can reconcile killing two people even if is in self defense. Mostly wondering what that does to him, if anything.

    When he pops up in some media presskit, that's what I might comment on.

    Agreed. Whoever is advising him is doing a bad job. He should have just laid low after the verdict.

    Hopefully at this rate, he'll disappear from the press soon enough.

    Meh.... if it's anything like the other rallies, the speakers will outnumber the attendees.

    His 15 min of fame is hopefully drawing to a conclusion.......let me guess, he will come out and talk about his great leader, the awesomeness of the gop and how evil the Dems are, throw in a "they want to take your guns" paragraph and then walk off to a thunderous ovation as the face of the new generation of patriots..........bonus points for a Rickey Schroeder comment :rolleyes::D;)

    His 15 minutes seems to be kept alive by those who view him as a political hero...

    Remember when Palin and Joe the plumber was the draw. Republicans zealots are really drawn to dumb people.

    “Claim to fame” is actually surviving very dangerous attacks by heinous individuals in a mob setting thru the use of valid self defense.

    I think the attention he gets is 50/50 from those who like him vs those who hate him.

    I am sure its the people that hate him that are the ones booking him on fox news and placing him in speaking roles at republican political events.

    You are probably right. But they sure do love posting and tweeting about him, which gets thousands of retweets, and that fact probably contributes to his overall presence and impact. All of which contributes to making him a person who would be invited to speak at such events.

    I don't think fox news is looking at my posts to determine whether to invite the republicans newest hero on their prime time shows. Heck, they had him on the night of the verdict. Nor do I believe trump and the rest of the republican political machine look to me before sending invites to speakers.

    Now, if you main point is that republicans exist simply exist to troll those with decency and integrity... I might be in agreement. But that is more on republicans than those of us who express our outrage. And if expressing outrage about offensive things ever becomes considered "wrong", we has a society are really in trouble.

    I'm not saying that people are looking at you. I'm saying that people who are constantly being talked about in political discussions are likely to continue being talked about in political discussions. Further, if I'm booking some speaking event about Topic ABC, and I see that someone is constantly being talked about in the media in the context of Topic ABC, I would probably invite said person to speak at my event on Topic ABC.

    I've not watched Fox News programming since maybe 2009 so I have no idea what they're doing specifically. But I think it's undeniable that such media companies want eyeballs and clicks to stay relevant, and one way to get eyeballs and clicks is to see what's getting eyeballs and clicks and keep doing it. Whether that attention comes from joy or outrage is irrelevant.
