Why does lainey hate carrie underwood

Good comment. The more public your life, the more important it is to keep a strong, grounded personal life out of the public spotlight to help keep your equilibrium. She would never have done this had she not been on board. Carrie is 35 years old and has been around a while, her star is fading.

Unfortuntley in country music it happens to females way sooner than males. Billboard is predicting the equivalent of album sales for her first week. That was before her miscarriage reveal. Nice try though. CountryGirl September 18, pm. Martina, Faith, Reba….. Again, NOT a personal attack on Carrie just stating the facts. All or most of these women have found other ways to bring in an income but thier radio days are over.

This was thier strategy. Carrie was a media darling for a long time but the tide seems to be shifting, a prime example is SNF. The amount of negative attention every sunday night would never have happened years ago……….

At least stick to keeping your flimsy arguments to the same path. RollingEyes September 18, am. So happy another man feels the need to criticize and judge a woman for sharing her struggles with childbirth.

Naturally such a personal revelation would, well, trigger criticism. Daddy knows best, right? Someone said it best: Carrie is criticized for years for being too personal, and now that she is shedding some light behind the scenes, she is still criticized. You must ask yourself WHY now is she sharing her personal life? And the whole point of the article is about the marketing strategy behind the album NOT a personal attack on Carrie.

I think the marketing strategy on this whole album has just really been off this whole album era. I think she may have had a little to do with the marketing, but I think it was mostly her marketing team who just took this glitter stuff way too far. But I do think the marketing strategy for this album was just all wrong from the beginning,that much I can agree with.

Now look, when Carrie mentioned the accident, she did it in a private letter to her fan club. She never went to the media with this information, they sought it out.

Her whole return and performance at the ACMs was hyped up by a media she never talked to. She deliberately skipped the red carpet and never sat in her seat the entire show. Later on in the year, she did an interview in which she said it might be too late in her life to have a big family, and she got trashed by bloggers and critics saying she was only 35 and still young enough to have more kids.

How the hell do you think that makes someone with 3 miscarriages feel? Mojo September 18, am. Jt September 18, am. Why does she have to refer to others who have gone through the same thing? Why is it any of your business if she refers to helping others who have gone through the same thing she did? Elevator music? I was disappointed overall in the album a few great tunes though. Definitely impactful though. Gavin September 18, am. This is nothing but an opinion piece by a man.

A woman loses three babies in 2 years and decides to share her story and is now being accused of using her story to sell more records. Anyone else want to stand on their soap box and point the finger at Carrie Underwood? I just find it hard to believe that she herself would be so duplicitous to use her own miscarriages to sell her new album. Let Trigger have his opinion, if its wrong let him pay the price later. Theresa Daniels September 19, am.

I feel so bad that her personal life is being used as a pawn by her marketing team just to sell records. Something just seems off about her.

Even after getting out of her contract with Sony after being on Idol,she is still basically owned by her record label. She would be horrified at the way her fandom has been acting,this is not something she would approve of nor condone this type of behavior coming from her own fans,no less.

Dobe Daddy September 18, pm. It really brought home what a regular guy he was. The system works! Dirt Road Derek September 18, pm. Kevin Davis September 18, pm. They spend a massive amount of time and effort interacting with their fans on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook. Sometimes it can feel like the music is secondary.

What should be constructive conversations about the music can quickly dissolve into hostile name calling and insults. OMFS88 September 18, pm. Stacey September 18, pm. Hey Trigger, when Jason Isbell did an interview with Rolling Stone talking about his drinking problems and sleeping around on his first wife less than a month after his album Something More than Free came out — was that exploiting his personal life to get album sales? Just curious. These equivalent comments are always wrong.

It undermines whatever point they are trying to make. But to answer your question, yes it was exploitative, or at least an element of marketing by Jason Isbell. EVERY artist uses personal marketing to appeal to fans and create a deeper loyalty beyond the music, and I have cited Jason Isbell very specifically in the past and multiple times as an example of how most every artist does this. Jason Isbell is the perfect example of how this happens even in the independent music world because he engages in it as much as anybody, but is excellent at hiding it.

In fact just four days ago I left a comment on this very issue, just tied to politics instead of celebrity gossip news that dovetails perfectly here. THIS is where the problem lies. Jason Isbell says something in an interview and moves on. Aaron September 18, pm. If Miranda Lambert or Blake Shelton bring up their divorce one more time then lets include them in the point you are trying to convey. I understand the point you are bringing up of using personal tragedies for marketing and it becoming too much but I just have a hard time understanding your reasoning to use Carrie as the main Scapegoat.

It would have been a totally different article if you cited more than just Carrie as an example and probably would have been more well received. DJ September 18, pm. Chet September 18, pm. If a songwriter shares something about how a song came about, okay, or if a movie is about someone who did something extraordinary in life, great. RWP September 18, pm. I used to be a fan until the horrifying accident that messed her face up so bad.

Like,ew, who can look at her now? So disgusting EW. I just puked thinking about it. Ugly face. I mean her legs are all hot and stuff but after she farts out another brat those are probabaly gonna be EW too. Her accident did NOT mess her face up!! And by the way, how dare you use her sweet, innocent son in all of this!! How dare you accuse her husband of doing something that he never did!! Her legs are never going to EW,they probably look a lot better than yours ever will!!

How dare you slander her reputation like that!! Tim September 18, pm. I regularly check in for your articles and more than not agree with you, but I think this article was unnecessary and an overreach. Just my two cents. Ray September 18, pm. May I add that Thomas Rhett seems to be milking his family for too much publicity for his career.

I am tired of hearing and seeing pictures of his wife and two kids. I am happy for the guy, but let your music speak for itself.

I mean, lots of artists and labels owe Pappa Adkins for his songwriting ability. Many country artists take years of gigs and songwriting until they get signed to a label. TR gets signed probably when he was 21 yrs old. Mainstream country music media is not interested in covering music. The media is continuing to veer more and more into lifestyle reporting and politics because this is what generates the most traffic, and the artists are expected to follow suit.

It is a troubling trend that this Carrie Underwood album release has set a precedent for, and it deserves to be criticized. A woman deserves to be criticized for talking about her miscarriages, her fall, and the bad year she had and how it all informed the music she made the last year.

Trigger, you are a freaking insensitive ass. Shut up,Stacey!! This does not make Carrie look better,it makes her look bad when all of you feel like you have to burn him at the stake because he dared to voice his opinion!!

I bet she has no idea that this is even going on!! Joey September 18, pm. Did I miss something here? Rachel September 18, pm. No one shares info about miscarriages for publicity, sorry.

Chris Godfrey September 18, pm. People who are turned off at her on twitter are the same people who have always been turned off.

This album before the miscarriage news was going to sell , Now maybe , So, 10, a miscarriage. She would give up that 30, to not have to go through that pain again. This article again is just so dumb. Gee, you got me. That comment was in response to folks saying that all the Carrie Underwood team did was release a letter to her fans about it, which is stupendous bullshit.

There were half a dozen press releases sent to the media about it. I have them. It was an all out unprecedented media blitz for months upon months. I struggled with the scar for quite awhile. She had a better team than me to make her look the same. She did not interview with one person until after the song release and ACM performance. It is very clear now her emotions on ACM was more than just face — but all the hormonal changes that miscarriages bring you.

Not sure if you are aware that every time a woman miscarries their body still reacts as if she delivered. So we are talking months upon months of early pregnancy hormones, and post delivery hormones. No wonder she was not in her seat in the audience. I would hope that would not be expected.

I know it was after because Bobby asked her about the performance. Ask anyone I know, not that you can, but thephrase, not ready to talk about it — I knew it was a miscarriage. I thought the fall might have caused one of them but I have no proof. It was after bobby that media kept bringing it up. Again the sales figures pre and post miscarriage news — a measly 30, Not all of that can be proved to be from tragedy talk. Numbers might rise again after Ellen and Kimmell. If you write a song in the aftermath of a miscarriage, let us know.

I think it is great. GDR September 18, pm. Discussing this topic at work today amongst a group of people who do think this is all being done for sales promo led me to search the Internet to see if anyone else feels this way. That led me here and this article seems spot on to me and many others I talked with. Why this miscarriage news needs to come out now exactly during the week of album release is fairly obvious to everyone.

Glaze over it and just say, horrible stuff happened then everybody will want to know what horrible stuff. She felt like she needed to open up, good for her. What ever happened to empathy. I think you miss the point Trigger. This is an issue that a lot of woman go through, even more so now than probably a few years ago as more and more woman wait until later in life to have children. To know someone like Carrie has been through this shows other woman that even someone who seems perfect has had hard times and has struggled.

She said her piece on her fall months ago and moved on. She decided she was ready to talk about the other things she eluded to in her original post and no doubt her team where there to guide her and give her advice but at the end of the day it was her choice.

In response to those twitter trolls and keyboard warriors with no remorse who just post whatever negative, angry stuff they want, Carrie is a million times a better human being than any of them and she will always outshine people like that. But for critics and those in the media constantly trying to tear her down, American idol was over 10 years ago and Carrie has done more than enough to earn some respect.

Convict charlie September 18, pm. First and foremost it should be about the music. Unless I missed something over the years Sunny Sweeney never talked about her miscarriages.

Shauna September 19, am. The fact that Carrie Underwood had to go through 3 miscarriages is horrific. As a woman and a mother, I completely get and agree with what Trigger is stating in this article. Barry Cheevers September 18, pm. If country music just devolves into the worship of celebrities, this is an unsustainable model for the genre.

This article has everything to do with Saving Country Music. Go back and re-read this piece sloooooowly about ten more times or however long it takes for it register. Rhonda Thacker September 18, pm.

No one is being disrespectful! Carrie and her team made a huge deal about her fall and only shared part of what happened promising more. Later revealed the stitches in her face. As though fans can only handle a little at a time. Carrie herself insisting she may appear different to her fans while a fan from the Bravo station posted a pic of them together and Carrie looked fine.

No big difference! Now all the miscarriages and the happy ending being the pregnancy. What else can it be called but promotion of the record!?! The question is… should artist do this to promote their music or not. Trigger did NOT show any disrespect to Carrie!

None at all. Actually only posed great question! Aggc September 18, pm. Everyone had their cross to bear. You did it and you did it quietly. The internet has changed that apparently. The internet has pretty much ruined everything and this is a shining example. For all the millennials are going to jump at the chance to be offended by this, screw you in advance.

Black Boots September 19, am. High irony. Keep bangin, gramps. As someone who has been reading articles on this site for quite some time…as someone who has never purchased any Carrie Underwood music…as someone who has seen close family members face the heartbreaking loss of a child through a miscarriage, I completely fail to see what good would come of this article, so focused on Carrie alone and so close to the information coming out, other than new visitors to the site.

When someone has a miscarriage you give them a pass on how they to choose to process that, for approximately…forever. I went out of my way to not blame Carrie Underwood for anything here.

A Country-Pop Fan September 18, pm. Why does it hurt to realize that so many people missed the point of this article? AT September 18, pm. I keep reading comments where people are saying that she shared the news of her fall in a private note to fans.

Marketing teams know that fans will rally around the artist and come to their defense to defuse bad pr. The letter was designed to make fans feel like they are privy to the personal life. It makes them feel special, feel like they are a part of something. CountryGirl September 19, am.

No, she would never use miscarriages to promote her album…….. Mike Honcho September 19, am. Jeezus, Trigger is right. Carrie not only oversings every song, she has resorted to a Kardashian model of oversharing and overdramatizing her life in order to remain relevant.

I was tired of hearing about her face after the first week. It came of as really vain. My wife suffered miscarriages and we underwent five rounds of unsuccessful IVF. I get it, its difficult. She seems as desperate as a Kardashian with no storyline. These fans are as irrational as Kane Brown fans.

And she has ONE kid,not two,but nice try trying to deflect from Carrie being so personal with her life!! You have ZERO right to slander her reputation like that,zero!! If her face is what sells her music, she should just go do something else. Oh,shut up!! OlaR September 19, am. They saw you coming!! Faking her emotions? Are you really that much of an insensitive ass or have you always been that way!!

Sexist much? What an insensitive ass you are!! Kevin September 19, am. This is such a horrible article! As a man, you really have no basis for an opinion on whether or not a woman should reveal her own personal tragedies regarding miscarriage. If she wants to, she can! I mean, do you expect her to not do an interview around the release of her album, tour dates, early promotion? And during those interviews what exactly is she supposed to talk about? People will always find something to criticize, but this is a very unfair and insensitive article.

Also, the miscarriage element was just mentioned in passing. Considering the timing of this article, it seems the miscarriage was the catalyst to write it. I say its ironic with the timing, since Carrie is being criticized for timing the news of her tragedies around her album release. I mean, Carrie is a pretty boring girl otherwise. I mean, at some point she was going to mention her miscarriages. Neither is the baby reveal, as if she planned for those things to coincide.

The face reveal, perhaps, everything else, no, with all due respect. Beth September 19, am. It further establishes emotional connections from the fans to the celebrity beyond the music. I find it unfair to tear one woman down while boosting the other, when both women have shared their personal stories as part of their media identity.

One story has no less value than the other. No, it is strongly encouraged. Women sharing their personal stories is imperative to them being able to create emotional connections with their audience. The idea that this article was somehow an attack on women sharing their personal stories, or that it was a rebuke of Carrie Underwood sharing the information on her miscarriages is completely unfounded, and mostly based off of people reading this article through the filter of mischaracterizations on social media.

Instead what this article is about is how the Carrie Underwood camp was resigned to having to reveal personal information through the press to get her name in headlines in lieu of the support of radio and other media. As the articles states,. In this article, I went into great detail about how lashing out at the media for mentioning how some performers are mothers, daughter, wives, or women at all under misguided accusations of sexism was creating an environment where the media was becoming discouraged to write about women at all, or to avoid personal details that may help those artists connect with an audience.

All that said, you can go too far in pushing personal information to try and promote your music. When Carrie Underwood announced she was pregnant at the same exact time she released tour dates 6 months ahead of the norm, this clearly exposed that her camp was looking to exploit celebrity gossip to push her music. Alex September 19, am. I think it clearly explained why the tour was being delayed.

Normally they have two legs of the tour typically a spring leg and fall leg. But with the start of the tour being pushed back from January to May, it looks kind of crazy to bundle eight months in advance. So they had to give the reason why that was happening. The reason why they were doing that had to be revealed, otherwise it would be way out of the ordinary to sell a ticket to a show 14 months in advance. Kevin September 19, pm.

I agree Alex. The baby announcement was clearly an explanation for the tour starting in mid It was revealed on her Facebook page I believe which is for her fans and she clearly started showing soon after the announcement. With all due respect to the author, I think that point the baby announcement is a bit intellectually dishonest, but it fits the narrative of the article in following the pattern of her using personal details for promotion.

I mean, I think the face reveal is the strongest and fair point. That was pushed and exploited by her team a bit much. Trigger September 19, pm. You can like an artist, believe in them, and still understand that as a major mainstream performer, marketing is at the heart of most every decision that is made. Chrissy September 20, pm. The tour always starts shortly after an artist releases the new album. This tour is starting eight months after the album release because of the pregnancy.

None of my friends have ever done that. If anything, it would make me want to buy concert tickets less since I know the tour will be delayed until she has the baby and takes time off for the baby, it will likely be quite awhile until I can see her in concert.

Marpoe September 19, am. Did Hank Jr. Jimmy's Carhartt September 19, am. Does the Carrie promo team use bots? Criticism of Carrie Underwood?!?! I respectfully disagree with Trigger. The same applies here. Carrie was already going to debut at 1 anyway, far and away outpacing the 2 selling album by more than double. The news over the weekend may move a couple of thousand extra copies, but it hardly makes a big difference in total album sales.

Consider the possibility that Carrie really was being sincere and it was a moment where she decided she was finally comfortable about opening up a little more. Ryan September 19, pm. Two Stepper September 19, pm. Exploiting miscarriages to push a pop country album is really low. Tom on this one. Mark McCarty September 20, am. Hey Arnold September 20, am. Trigger September 20, am. But keep hyperventilating. Hey Arnold September 20, pm. Whatever makes you sleep at night. But they responded to a tweet — referencing to your article.

Basically slamming it. CountryGirl September 20, pm. Trigger, at this point your arguing with a bunch of artist obsessed 15 year olds! They are probably running around with rediculous fake glitter as we speak!

BTW the whole glitter thing with this whole album cycle is so bizarre from a 35 year old artist?! Rachel September 20, pm.

Denouncing any criticism in this article as mischaracterization or fans who will always just defend Carrie is pretty damn disingenuous. You essentially said there is an appropriate time for the woman to reveal painful information, or to even not reveal it at all. You lumped talking about miscarriages into a desperate strategy designed to bolster album sales. Now, if your article only focused on her team taking control of the fall narrative and announcing the baby at the same time as the tour, so be it, even if I think the criticism about the baby announcement is super nitpicky.

Seems like a super minor thing to be worried about. Your premise is also that Carrie Underwood needed to make all these personal revelations in order to get media attention. On the general media side of it, Carrie gets more media attention than any other country artist. Sorry for the length, probably should have just sent this to you privately. Greg September 20, pm.

I love this reply. Trigger September 20, pm. If this article was clickbait itself, the joke is on me. Beav September 21, am. Your paragraph below is exactly why folks are upset. No one, literally no one, gets to criticize or dictate to a woman on the topics he wrote about — simple as that. Nan September 20, pm. I thought the subject matter in this article a little awkward to read about, but think it was okay, fair points to make.

Anyone calling Trigger a sexist should spend more time on this Site, you would see that is a completely false statement. Music Jedi—I liked other comments also. Miranda and Taylor were mentioned earlier.

The big difference, Carrie has not written about personal life, maybe a trace, in songs. I have noticed she has, but for a publication, not as camera on. Telling this personal info if her choice is okay, but to a major network in an interview the days around the Album release, seems strange. I figured the Record Label controls the Artist re: contract but never thought they controlled what they said. It seems no one is clear on here if this was her choice or was pressured into it.

Sorry to forget who mentioned this, but glad someone did. To them, she is perfect, her music is perfect, she should win every award possible. She won that show in the years it was most popular, with the fanfare, excitement that went with it. So she never stood out the same. I cons. Taylor Swift one of the smartest people in Music today. She knew there was a lot of neg. Now her image seems positive again. Carrie should do this. I think it would be beneficial at this point.

The entire modus operandi of Stan armies is to create the facade of more support for their artist than there actually is. When you have thousands of Twitter accounts with the avatars solely of the artist, and these accounts solely post about the artist alone, you have no idea how many of these accounts are real, or who is behind them. One person could be running accounts, or more. This is what Stan armies do. They disrupt and deceive in an obsequious worship of a superstar.

Who knows what the real public sentiment is about this article. At least I have a comment section and keep it open for anyone to post in. Some are exploiting that opportunity. Meanwhile joining the fracas are politically biased blue checkmarked Twitter journalists who are on record saying they want to destroy Saving Country Music.

Exacerbating the problem is people interacting with this article via the filter of Twitter. The first thing they see on Twitter is someone saying how I shamed Carrie Underwood for revealing her miscarriages which never happened , and then they come here or take to Twitter to let all their rage out against the patriarchy, completely ill-informed about the premise and substance of this article.

Saving Country Music assumes an intelligent audience, and often works in long form content, relying on nuance and discussion to make points. In this reactionary society, that is unacceptable. Could I have written this article better, been more tactful in getting my point across? I certainly never claimed to be perfect. Even the Stans know it. The idea has to be crushed, and the source of that opinion discredited lest people actually start to believe it.

These days, the most controversial thing you can do is tell the truth, or give an honest opinion. Someone has to be willing to take the bullets. Sorry, this was in response to a comment whose author asked me to take their comment down after I had written all this out. Hey Arnold September 21, am. Time to move on to greener pasture topics.

This site has always been about the music , nothing else. I think we should leave personal celeb stories out of it from now on guys. This is the biggest piece of garbage you have ever written in the history of this site, and frankly your half-assed attempt to respond to the backlash is ridiculous and embarrassing for the caliber of the site you purport to run.

How do I know you deep down know what you wrote is wrong? The evidence is right here in these comments… you have done nothing but double-talk and dig the hole deeper with more nonsense talking yourself in circles. She has chosen to tell them through her music, what a great artist does.

She is sharing one of the most personal and intimate details a woman can ever share. You have certainly not being paying attention to who the woman she is at her core if you think this article is okay in any way shape or form.

We all know Carrie is a private person and seldom shares her home life — take one look at pictures of her son, you will be hard pressed to find any of his face — why? So how on earth can you purport to say she or her team would ever exploit her personal details? You claim to not blame Carrie, only her team. Umm, who runs her team? Who is in charge ultimately? Her, she is. And especially in this type of scenario, there is zero chance she purposely shared her story to garner attention or had her team do it.

She needs no extra attention, she is literally regarded as a generational voice, she needs no tabloid fluff. Celebrities have a platform, some use it wrong and some use it right, Carrie uses it right. She understands she has the power of celebrity to tell a story that can help others who have gone through what she has. How anyone can watch that and come away with anything other than empathy for her is nonsense.

Your insinuation that her face accident has anything to do with her wanting to exploit it is laughable — there is no one to blame except for the media itself. How can you begin to think that Carrie could be so out of touch and evil to think up this ruse just for some extra articles. There is no faking that type of thing. What we are is sad and feel empathy for a wonderful woman and artist who has gone through a difficult time. Look up the word, you could use a dose.

CountryGirl September 21, am. Private person? She has posted about her husband dozens of times on social media. She is private to a point as are all celebrities. Private until they have to sell something movie, product etc. All of these reveals were to sell something you know it and we know it. It should have stopped at the face reveal that was enough. Trigger September 21, am. Actually it was numerous Carrie Underwood fans reaching out to me about the circus of this album release that was one of the primary stimulants to writing this article.

These same fans have also piped up in this very comments section, and in the comments sections of other Carrie Underwood articles posted recently. Carrie Underwood overplaying her hand with personal news was a primary narrative heading into the album release, and I can cite dozens of examples. Unfortunately some of these people have been shamed into silence by fear of social media retribution. Folks know what I said was the truth.

I was sharing wisdom. Steve September 21, pm. The simple fact is the Carrie Underwood fan base has allowed a completely irrational, and frankly unhealthy mindset to permeate throughout its ranks, causing some to be incapable of pondering reality.

This has been known and documented for over a decade now, and has even creeped into the ranks of media members. I stand behind treating Carrie Underwood with fairness, and honesty. Steve September 25, pm. Trigger September 25, pm. I understand how that statement could anger some, and be controversial. Of course she does. But it is my professional opinion as someone who has covered the music business for over a decade that using personal information was the strategy employed to sell as many records as possible.

How this opinion is perceived by the public is none of my business. My business is honesty. I would never write something to set something else to try and get in the good graces of a certain fan base.

Not only would that run the risk of coming across as transparent, it would also be dishonest. Steve September 27, pm. I think Saving Country Music is going too far in exploiting a non-Carrie story for personal clicks.

Nan September 21, pm. How many men have to be super sensitive to not offend a woman when writing about them, what is off limits or wrong, as opposed to writing about men, then. I think this only creates more division, and then less women will get written about.

That is not okay to me. This is a big issue in our society right now, and this is happening even today, according to some comments above. I think if anyone is respectful in their writing, even sensitive topics are okay when relevant to a music topic, like this is. Lld February 23, pm. I see her now promoting her new work out, work out gear. Trigger August 20, pm. No doubt vaccinated people have better health outcomes than unvaccinated people who get the virus. However, an Oxford study that was released on Thursday and has been reported by just about every major news outlet says that individuals who experience breakthrough cases have just as much, or sometimes more viral load than people who are unvaccinated.

Yes, they may still not get sick, but this could create a false sense of security. Since they have high viral load, they are just as likely to spread Covid. Jake Cutter August 20, pm. The booster will probably save us all though, so calm down everyone.

You are off your rocker, Di. Go visit your local ICU ward and talk to actual doctors about the number of vaccinated vs. And how many unvaccinated knuckle draggers are clogging their ICUs. The good thing, for people like you who are incapable of understanding science, is that you can just look at reality see previous sentence and see that you are wrong.

Trigger — that same study also stressed the importance of vaccines. It also said that vaccinated people have the SAME ability to spread it, not more, as you stated.

The vaccine is and always has been designed to protect those smart enough to get vaccinated…Not to protect those too ignorant and brainwashed by Facebook memes to refuse it.

As I said, Darwinism at work. Especially with the wide availability of the vaccine in this country. I got the vaccine. The science is telling us otherwise. You can still carry and spread it to someone. Billy, In no way, shape, or form, are you putting me in my place.

I am an actual scientist. I deal in facts. You deal in insults to compensate for your frustration s. That is fine. You are harming no one but yourself. Quote away, Jake, and keep proving my point. Please, people, get the vasssine while you can. The point you are proving is that you have no rational anti-vax argument.

What else can you, unsurprisingly, get wrong tonight? Billy Wayne Ruddick August 21, pm. Keep trolling and embarrassing yourself, Jake. We have fundamentally different world views. All Matt Walsh does is break down current events, as a Conservative. Did you listen to his speech?

I think you could do better that the quote above, if you would actually take the time to understand the arguments. What you can be though, is a coward who refuses to acknowledge that some values are superior to others.

Putting masks on children to make neurotic adults feel good, is child abuse. And any politician advocating for it should be tarred and feathered, and not figuratively. Oh come on. Hey, I give the dude credit for his hustle. Yes, I listened to the speech. It was impassioned, performative, played fast and loose with the facts, but was overall very effective as political theater.

Two guns up as a performance. But there was some of what he said that you could take out of it, expose to light, and watch it whither. My beef is with the Twitter hall-monitors pearl-clutching at someone liking a tweet. I mean, the horror! You come on. This Twitter stuff is a joke to him. And I think you all are hilariously stupid for attacking a celebrity for liking a post of mine where I was right.

August 19, am. His shtick is dry, misanthropic humor combined with political analysis. The whole thing. I understand the nihilism in SOME — not all, that he is referring to. I understand the birthrate declines in modernized countries. I understand apathy and a fair amount t of psychology. No worse than most media pundits on the left.

Bringing it back to Carrie Underwood…. I have zero issue with her liking his speech. August 19, pm. He finds stories that annoy him, and then makes misanthropic observations about them for comedic purposes. The dude is as much a comedian as he is an analyst. Everybody I disagree with is a grifter, lol.

Sad that a small group of overly sensitive crybabies can bring us to even have to discuss this. Again, you seem to be under the impression that the ire of this article was pointed to Matt Walsh. No, I was never under that impression.

I fully understand and agree with you about Twitter mobs. Tom Smith August 18, pm. Ian August 18, pm. God bless! Carrie Underwood is currently facing some very light consequences for psuedo expressing an opinion on social media.

But is it going to materially impact her life in any way? Otoh, school board members, teachers, doctors, scientists, are getting harassed and physically threatened for potentially considering or testifying in support of masks in schools. So perhaps a little bit of perspective is in order, in terms of who is facing consequences in this conversation.

People who advocate for the abuse of children, to satisfy either their own lust for control, or to assuage an unjustified, neurotic fear, should be harassed. People who hurt people, deserve consequences. Good for Carrie. But you are not coming after Honky in this way. Meanwhile, Carrie Underwood said something idiotic on Twitter, and now people are making fun of her for being an idiot. Big Cat August 18, pm. Tom Turkey August 18, pm. One of the most well written articles to date.

Very well articulated in my opinion. I wanna print it out and hang it up in my office! This discussion always happens, and it always end the same place. If she has the right to have an opinion, then everyone else has the right to criticize her for it. Welcome to the internet. Ryan August 18, pm.

I am sure that some of you can cite an intelligent academic argument against this, but we are neck deep in arguments and disagreements over all things COVID now and we all love country music. I see this site as a place where I can read about rad things and the comments here, albeit intelligent for the most part, represent the same comments from different sites now.

This includes political, schools, sports, and everything else. Too much of this is focused on what we hate and nowhere near enough on what we love. What we all love is country music. I hope we can stray from all of this if nothing else because it is what divides us and tjau should be elsewhere. Country Music Disciple August 19, pm.

It ruins the spiritual atmosphere. Let people do whatever they like; you should live according to your own ideal. I myself tend to argue with others at times to prove my point which is usually a waste of time and energy for both parties.

It seems like finding common ground on what I enjoy and love not hate along with others such as country music leads to a more positive experience. Unless it was a mistake or someone other than her possible , we have a pretty good idea that she is in some way sympathetic or approving of whatever Matt Walsh thing she liked.

Yeah, the criticisms are harsh and exaggerated. This article and others on this site are also pretty reactive and emotion-heavy. Nothing more to see or say about it, really. Grant August 18, pm. Thank You!! I want to hit the upvote button twenty times. I want Trigger to dedicate an entire article to this statement.

I want to shout it from the mountaintops. I want it to be read by everyone before commenting. Fat Freddy's Cat August 19, am. But to make it worse, the mob of ninnies expect to be worshiped for their great virtue. So they seek a new drama where they get to be the Great Hero, and Covid is how they are doing it. Twitter is a cesspool of bottom feeding, malcontents.

Matt Walsh is pretty good. I know nothing of his twitter activity, but I watch is youtube channel from time to time. Smart guy, with some interesting insights on current events. The day that stops, we turn in North Korea. Troy August 19, am. This is outrage culture at its worst. All she did was like a tweet. You think she liked a tweet about hurting puppies or something abhorrent.

Folks need to calm TF down, seriously. It seems a certain subset of the population cares a lot more about the lives of immunocompromised children than they do puppies. Ryan August 19, pm. It is a reflection of the worst of humanity and not representative of anyone but people who spend too much time online.

I guarantee you this nonsensical kerfuffle is only being discussed on the internet by people who have a vested stake in either attacking or defending the celebrity. Either because they over-identify with the famous person or as a proxy for politics.

I guarantee there are few to no water cooler discussions, coffee shop talks, or even people just shooting the shit about this topic. Paying attention to this is the same thing as fanning the flames of a dumpster fire. Trigger August 19, pm. See, this is the problem. For people in the media, they must be on Twitter, and all the time. It is a requisite. It is the best news aggregator.

But as I tried to explain in this article, what happens on Twitter gets institutionalized in culture through the media lens. It ends up metastasizing because to much of the media, Twitter is the center of the Universe.

And that is why ignoring what happens on Twitter believing it will just go away is a conceit. JBear August 19, pm. And just because you have an opinion does not mean you need to share it. David August 21, pm. Quit worrying about. You and people you know are more likely to be killed by a driver of a vehicle driving over the speed limit, by having no water cause all the wells and rivers are drying up, or by severe weather related phenomena. I do not facebook.

I do not social media. I do read SCM. Trig has a great, informative site. You are also completely brainwashed on this subject. And I do not believe for a second that you have anything beyond a mediocre high school science education. Mike Honcho August 21, am. Fat people are always worried about other people making them sick.

Fittest and smartest indeed. Charliewoods August 21, pm. Second, we have the right to make choices, but not the right to make choices for other often unsuspecting people. Finally, we have failed as a society when selfishness trounces consideration of others even if it causes some inconvenience. Anthony August 22, pm. Social media, but especially Twitter, have given opinions held by the far left an undue degree of influence.

Mark Schwendau August 22, pm. Funny how last year it was safe to go eat in a restaurant masked up until we sat down but now school children must be masked at all times! Almost like this is less about public health than a globalist agenda. Bet none of those twitter losers do anything for anyone other than themselves.

If everyone wore masks, we could start smoking in restaurants and theaters again. If everyone wore masks, we could start fucking ugly chicks again.

And vice versa. Colter, So true. I remember you! You are nothing. Kind of hard to express your true beliefs when this kind of thing that happens. On topic: If Carries issues a groveling apology… Lastly, however you feel about Matt Walsh, in this instance he is correct.

You voted for biden, right? Do not back down Carrie! And you should ask yourself why. Matt Walsh is a disgusting piece of shit. Anyway, let her like what she likes. How many children do you have? Have shown restraint not putting this out Am done. Think it was no mistake that she liked the tweet. Posts like this are exhibit A of how social media is dumbing down America….

Lord help us all. Not too bright, are you. Did I misread your post as not being sarcastic? I Do wish you a nice weekend. Will not respond to any other comments you make in this thread. Also wishing you a nice rest of your evening. As I said, go down to your local hospital and report back. Trig, here you go.

Take it from the man himself. The video does help to underline why I felt writing an article about this was important. I appreciate you letting me know. Morning, gentile. A teacher literally got jumped last week and had to go to a hospital. Well, this comment section did not fail to entertain. Oh, i am a scientist. A nuclear scientist.
