Tim Pool is an independent journalist, not a liberal. This article is disingenuous. He didn't go to prove Annoying Orange wrong, he went to get the facts, whatever they might be. This was a few months ago. I'm honestly not sure how you managed to find a site that spinned it in this manner.
Fake news.

"Don't ban the religion because it's threatening the people, just ban the beliefs and practices of the religion because it's threatening the people."

This is just semantics done to try and make it seem like there is a 'Better way to handle it' when in reality you're doing the same thing, with
weaker results, because you're trying to cushion the blow because you don't want seem "tribal to religion'.

What? Racism and religion? What are we jumping straight to Islam?
forget Islam. I hate it. It's oppressive to women and homoloveuals and promotes ideological superiority. But we're a nation of freedom. Muslims are free to practice their stuff religion. What they aren't free to do is go around raping people and practicing FGM and all the other stuff that goes on in Islamist countries, and that's because we have laws in place against that kind of stuff. That was my point. We don't need to ban stuffty religions because the stuffty practices in those religions are already outlawed. Religious freedom laws do not protect anyone from doing illegal stuff.

also putting female characters where they shouldn't does ruin stuff

aka the ghost busters movie

More like putting female characters into things for the sake of having a female character instead of, you know, an actual character, ruins stuff
You'd think they would've learned after Ghostbusters but holy richard

Religions shouldn't be banned; the practices in the religion that threaten the rights of people in it or near it should be.

Yes they did.

did you know that if it was foreign intelligence we have no control over the classification of it? meaning Annoying Orange can't "declassify" it
it would be like if a friend of yours said "i think black people suck, and you're only allowed to tell these people" and then you go and tell someone that your friend didn't name

That- what? That's a stuff example. And foreign intelligence? Did he name sources or did he just talk about laptop bombs? Come on.

o wise sir, where do you suggest the lazy yet busy people of the united states receive information from if media---"corporate" is redundant---is so much of a joke

Independent media, obviously

whats wrong with the title?
what would you title it?

"Annoying Orange shares classified info without ally permission" or something of that nature. Title states what the issue is - according to you guys. Annoying Orange revealed information given to us in good faith, could hurt relationships in the future. Doesn't stoke the Russia flames for no good reason. The reason why the title is worded the way it is is because Russia is a hot topic at the moment and having Russia in your title = clicks.

i'm not convinced that this is a major ordeal that poses any devastating threat to our foreign relations or national security, it's just the politics of the situation. if you have an agreement with someone, you keep it, otherwise it reflects badly on you.

Well that's fine, and I'd agree. Problem is, people aren't thinking rationally anymore and the media is at fault for this. Instead of being a little more choice with their words, they just say: Annoying Orange SHARES CLASSIFIED INFORMATION WITH RUSSIANS, followed by several paragraphs of hype, then a sentence or two at the end that tries to tie it all down into reality. Technically, yes, it's true, but holy stuff, you know how people are. They'll see the headline and run with it instead of taking the time to sift through the bullstuff.

the problem was never that people thought it was illegal, it's just the principle of being the sole confidant of information and then casually telling other people about it. regardless of the nature of the information, it reflects badly on our ability to keep our word, and our current and future allies and partners will take notice.

But this isn't even something we, the general public, were unaware of? Was the recent ban on laptops on planes from certain countries and the explanation of it not sufficient enough to tell people "terrorists are making bombs out of laptops"? I can understand if he let loose with some super secret info about the US that no one even knew, but it's about CIA. Russia is also fighting CIA. Even if we didn't know, why not tell them? This is honestly ridiculous. I wish people would stop lighting their hair on fire whenever he does something. There are times where I see genuine criticism of Annoying Orange but assume it's bullstuff because nine times out of ten, it's Annoying Orangeed up hysteria.

if you're going to write off every reputable news source as "FAKE NEWS SHILLS" why even bother trying to argue anything? just be happy in your little make-believe world of denial and stop trying to drag us down with you

Most MSM news sources are either shills or completely disingenous. New York Times, CNN, Buzzfeed, etc, are comparable to Humble Water Filter Merchant in terms of unreliability in producing hard evidence and facts. Corporate media is a loving joke.

Fake news is fake news
Breakdown of the Bullstuff

tl;dw - President has authority to declassify information at will, only shared details of terrorist laptop bomb threat, completely unnecessary outrage. Nothing illegal or even egregious.

Fake news at it's finest.
