    Calling him a crisis actor isn't accusing him of taking part in a made up conversation is it. Saying he wasn’t at school was not something a single real news agency ever Posted. I have never once heard that his mom worked at CNN.

    You’re equating social media posts to MSM which is very different.

    Hey Joe, you need to get your news from several other news organizations.

    A distinction without a difference. They lied.

    If you want to use semantics on what is a "real" news agency is but it was pushed in articles and right wing blogs.

    I guess you missed it. It was based on a social media post of Hoggs mom when he visited a CNN biulding.

    Some of the Hogg conspiracies perhaps but not all of them.

    None of what you posted was pushed by a major news outlet. None… This guy was written off as a racist in front of huge audiences of MSM. Sure the bloggers were wrong and let them be sued who cares.

    As for me missing social media trends, yes I do because I’m not on a single one. I’ve been Facebook and Twitter free for 5 years and I’m extremely happy about it. Don’t miss it at all.

    Who cares? Now you want to move the goalposts? Let me guess? You get to define what a "major news outlet" is?

    I don't recall him bring written off as a racist. I don't watch a lot of mainstream news. Can you link that for me?

    Kudos. I quit Facebook about 1.5 years ago. Never had any of the others. Ended up being nothing more then feeds of advertising intermixed with political nonesense from both sides. I miss the ease of coordinating high school reunions and other events etc but it just isn't worth the hassle.

    I tell the old lady I would be willing to pay up to like 10 or so bucks a month for a social media site that does not advertise or use algortiths to get people to hate other (yah know cause hate is profitable) and gave you complete control of incoming amd outgoing content.

    Hell, Trump seems to be trying to diversify; he should start up a company that operates like that.

    Just to give those who didn't follow Hogg's pursuit of fame through his juvenile ego and arrogance.... here's a couple notes.

    He was 17 at the time the Parkland shooting took place. He was not in the same building, but in one adjacent and he was hiding in a closet- hardly a hero, his life was never threatened directly. The media gave him a microphone, treated him like a surviving hero- and he jumped at the opportunity created a role and image.

    He has since claimed that his life has been threatened at least 7 times. Meaning he thinks he's a righteous crusader or something.

    Here's one of his statements that displayed his real attitude, made during an interview:

    "When your old-ass parent is like, ‘I don’t know how to send an iMessage,’ and you’re just like, ‘Give me the ****ing phone and let me handle it.’ Sadly, that’s what we have to do with our government; our parents don’t know how to use a ****ing democracy, so we have to."

    That's the real David Hogg.
