My point is that there's clearly a narrative. Every news station is saying "high school dropout" and "seeking refuge in a communist nation." Those exact words.

My point is that there's clearly a narrative. Every news station is saying "high school dropout" and "seeking refuge in a communist nation." Those exact words. This is what they always do. Talking points are distributed via the email lists for the democratic and republican parties. The "media" takes these talking points and runs with them. If you really pay attention to the news, it's eery how quickly they all start speaking in unison. Typically, it's one sided, but in this case, both right wing and left wing media are using the same talking points!
- jasonlotito 13y agoWhen you want to describe someone as a high school dropout, how else do you describe them? Someone who failed to achieve a successful release from a high school? As for "seeking refuge in a communist nation," it must only be spoken, and not quoted anywhere, because doing a search for "seeking refuge in a communist nation" turns up nothing in Bing, DDG, and Google. Of course, every new stations was also talking about the "NSA spying" on you, but that's okay.

- xiaoma 13y agoIt isn't very relevant whether a person nearing 30 graduated from high school or got a GED. Actually it's not even that relevant for a 20 year-old. Unless the story is about college admissions or something related, what reason is there to "want to describe someone as a high school dropout"?
