Transcript:
Kate: So what's the point of being in a constant state of outrage, Danae? Danae: 'Cuz that's how the world works, Kate. Kate: Uh... really? How so? Danae: Apparently, if you're always in a rage, people will mindlessly go along with it, figuring you must be right if you're so outraged. 'Scuse me, but it's time for an outrage update... ATTENTION, MINIONS... Kate: This is why I think you should block cable news channels, Daddy. Joe: Good idea.

Or at least block what passes as news nowadays – and it isn’t just cable news…
The Nihilist almost 13 years ago
Yes more blinders, that’s what we need, just comfortably numb

Fear leads to outrage, outrage leads to hate, hate leads to suffering… Or outrage could just lead to laughter. :D

But Rush isn’t ON cable.
zoidknight almost 13 years ago
No, she has actually used worse terms.
zoidknight almost 13 years ago
Sorry little girl. You are too young to be allowed to be outraged for any reason. Go back to school and accept your indoctrination meekly.

No, Maddow is a sweet boy!

Danae’s got the world’s number, alright.

Fart-face makes people kneel.

She may be addressing to the small creatures of Despicable Me…
GROG Premium Member almost 13 years ago
Something else for Danae to be outraged about.
Varnes almost 13 years ago
Truth be told there are no news channels in this country. It’s all opinion, lacking in detail and perspective….We need an outfit that gives us news from EVERYWHERE in the world, not just Amero-centric opinions…

If there is is a riot in Togo, I want to know about it…
Raygun almost 13 years ago
Just block the FAUX NEWS channel and she will be fine…

but once you call them minions they tend to act a lil different just call them party supporters

I watch Keith Olbermann on Current TV. I know he’s impartial (hehe).

Wasn’t that an old Aesop fable….“The Fox and the Sheeple”?

Kate’s got a really good idea.

Minion is a minimum wage job, I bet…

Okay, I’ll tango with you a lil: If you want “entertainment for shock value”, then Jerry Springerish behaviour is fine. If you want “serious news” then respect and dignity is required. Secondly, Wiley summed up Cable News (please re-read the strip), not the Occupiers.
Vonne Anton almost 13 years ago
What ever got into Dad’s mind that he thought allowing Danae to have a bullhorn was an acceptable idea???
Vonne Anton almost 13 years ago
And this is why I watch Daily Show. Entertainment masquerading as news done right!
Dumb Farmboy almost 13 years ago
No, but she’s just as stupid (or dumb) as the rest. I heard her trying to explain Limbaugh’s comment’s on Sandra Fluke, (no I don’t listen to Rush, but I heard the whole thing) and it went right over the top of her. Rush was being superfluous and trenchant, to make his point and Maddow doesn’t understand (no liberal does) that stuff.

The BBC, Economist, and NY Times cover world news fairly well. They even have traveling and foreign journalists.

Keep Danae away from OWS.
orz almost 13 years ago
but i need something new to be mad about to stay relevant on facebook!!
Albertaguy almost 13 years ago
See Rudy Park for another take on this.
Ernest Lemmingway almost 13 years ago
Danae’s explanation is the reason I don’t watch the news, pick up a newspaper except to get to the funnies, and don’t have any news stations in my favorites list on satellite. Sheeple really do act as she says and it depresses me. I’d sooner not do something that would aggravate what’s already (literally) killing me by seeing the demagogues at work.
