“Bad enough, I have to kowtow to every Negro with a grudge and all those homos who want to call it marriage when they do whatever unspeakable things they do to one another.”
Racist and homophobic language ('Negro with a grudge,' 'homos,' 'whatever unspeakable things they do') used in a satirical voice to provoke outrage; the charged word choices are selected for their provocative force.
“White House spokesman Josh Ernest later issued a clarification of the president's remarks in a statement saying, In speaking about the tragic wars in the Middle East earlier today, the president was obviously satirizing the attitudes of his opponents and did not intend his statements to be taken literally. President Obama later issued a clarification of Ernest's clarification in a statement saying, quote, like hell I was.”
The escalation from Ernest's clarification to Obama's denial to the drone strike creates a tease-then-reveal cadence within a single passage, where each layer promises a new outrage payoff, driving dopamine-seeking consumption.
“we started out this week talking about how the press had shot its credibility wad, covering up for Obama, covering up the Benghazi scandal and the Obamacare collapse and the IRS scandal and the Reverend Wright scandal and the Bill Ayers scandal”
Rapid-fire parade of scandals frames mainstream media as entirely illegitimate through accumulated selective examples, directing interpretation toward total media untrustworthiness while omitting any instances of legitimate coverage.
