So I think by reading the comments I understand the context here.
A CNN reporter, Amanpour, was going to interview the Iranian President. The president demanded the female wear a head scarf. The CNN reporter declined because she is a strong independent woman or something, so the Iranian president didn’t show up. This same reporter then interviewed a former member of ISIS/Al Qaeda, and now suddenly she is wearing a headscarf. However for some reason interviewing this Al Qaeda member while wearing a headscarf is more important then whatever principles she supposedly has?
The implication is that she had no intention of conducting a good faith interview of the Iranian President at all. Is this correct?
That’s the gist of it, although it’s a different CNN report in the second interview I think. Clearly, CNN can find reporters who will wear a head scarf if they actually want to.
Yea lack of glasses probably a different reporter. But the fact that it is a different reporter shows that CNN could have accommodated the Iranian Presidents demands if they wanted to, then the fact that they accommodated the al qaeda guy shows it was never about the head scarf or Islam or anything like that.
The second reporter could also be Muslim?
exactly
What is the gap in time between these?
The date is right in the first pic, it’s from September 2022. The second just happened days ago.
Deference to these brave moderate rebels who have sacrificed so much for US empire.
No shit, the moderate rebels might actually behead her otherwise
No shit? I’d wear whatever the fuck the dangerous “former” rebel wants me to.
Life doesnt suck enough to have that much of a death wish.Or CNN could’ve just not given an interview to a terrorist. Crazy idea I know.
Are you against headscarfs as a personal choice, Yogthos?
I’m against western hypocrisy and white washing ISIS Octonaut.
Just so we’re clear, you didn’t answer the question. Should different individuals have a choice about whether or not to wear a headscarf?
Or is the answer that you instead believe that the choice wasn’t the interviewers but instead directed by, uh, “The West”?
Absolutely, everybody should have a choice over that. The obvious problem with your line of arguing is that CNN could’ve easily found someone who would wear a headscarf to interview the Iranian president as well. The fact that you couldn’t see the obvious flaw in your argument really highlights the quality of your intellect.
What argument? I asked you a question that you ignored. Thanks to getting to it eventually, and for answering the obvious followup that indeed you do believe this was orchestrated by “The West” (CNN). It’s really shed light on your reason for posting this as it didn’t seem to fit with last week’s theme of how The West is in decline and America was no longer relevant on the world stage.
What’s it called again when a worker steps in to take the place of a worker who has refused to do something on principle because of their rights or conditions?
You asked a loaded question which you tried to use as a hamfisted smear. I love the fact that you can’t understand just how transparent you are. Meanwhile, western regimes fucking around the world instead of spending resources on improving lives of people living in the west is precisely why the west is in decline. I see this is another direct cause and effect relationship that’s too complex for you to comprehend.
Is your follow up question about scabs meant to go somewhere or you’re just attempting to be clever again?
I’m sure I’m being very transparent, Yogthos. Why would I be opaque or obtuse? Life’s too short to spend a long time with some hidden agenda. For example, I’m sure if you were clearer about what you think is the direct cause and effect relationship between CNN interviewing or not a foreign leader and the decline of western civilisation, while I might not understand it, perhaps superior intellects might. As it stands, we don’t know, because you haven’t tried. You’ve just linked to a meme.
The fact that you’re actually proud of your transparent fishing attempts is really just the cherry on top. 😙🤌
Frankly I would ban headscarfs if I could
