I agree with this!
And we'll get the answer when the 'left' decides if his successor is a progressive whack-job or a conservative (aka mainstream) democrat. If Northam's successor is a complete progressive whack-job, then the left will give Northam the flick in a heartbeat.
The party will do the political math. Can Northam's successor win the next election? Can he push the agenda? Is he going to be controllable? Does he have skeletons? They are researching as fast as they can (at least the blackface/KKK question is moot... the Lt. Gov. is an African-American). But if the new candidate is not going to be politically-acceptable to the left, darn right they will support Northam. And so will the media which will receive a series of phone calls from their 'sources' (aka political handlers... ranging from the DNC to Media Matters)... and they will toe the line.
And, yes, Powers... the hypocrisy is strong in these ones. How many Robert Byrd buildings are there... but Civil War statues must be taken down. There are "Kennedy" monuments everywhere, even though they were womanizing, drugged, drinking, Nazi-spying, skiing-into-trees, babysitter-porking, clubbing-women-to-death-with-golf-clubs, flying into the ocean bootleggers... but hey, they were LIBERAL scum. So they should be lionized.
Again... Marx/Engels, Bernase, Goebbels, Alinski, they all spelled it out. No secrets. they told us what their followers were going to do. And did it! Yet people dismissed it as the ravings of fringe people. Mein Kampf was a best seller... it spelled out 1939 - 1945 in vivid detail. Nothing was hidden. Why should we think that the writings of obscure university professors who are advocating for exterminating 90 percent of the human race.. are any less valid? But they are masked in an green agenda... and cute polar bears. And they are good educated 'liberal' professors. So their ideas must be good!

He now denies being in the photo and he refuses to resign. Politicians are lying scum!
Fuck the news media. How many times is this gonna be mentioned without his party affiliation also being mentioned?
I dunno. Talking to the democrats I know, they're none-too-happy to hear about his yearbook shenanigans. Oddly enough, this dude talking about comforting a newborn baby before killing it didn't seem to bother them too much.

Apparently, the handlers think he will ride this one out! Political calculations made... friendly media onboard.
This will be gone in a week. Northam will, however, be beholdin to those who saved him.
No surprise.

Convenient. Better racist's than baby killers.Anybody notice that we are no longer talking about Infantcide?
So now he says he did do blackface and use racist names....
But..... he claims he wasn't that blackface picture.... possibly just the KKK guy

Time to pull out the tar & feathers for fun.
I'd be willing to bet a beer that it was intentional... at least semi-intentional. In other words, rush to judgement, no process to back check. Everyone there not going to question it. And 'knowing' that the apology won't get nearly the coverage in people's brains as the 'later' retraction.
Implant it up front... and it stays forever. Try and change it later... and the imprint is still there.
There is another great book from the advertising world. Must read in the Psy Ops world... wonder if anyone still reads it. Called "Positioning: The Battle for the Mind." It shows how, once a thought is established in a brain, it is very hard to displace. Because people mentally position things and once set... they are set. It's sort of the psychologists' version of the old saw that "First impressions are lasting ones."
Yes, they are.
If your process at CNN is to blame Republicans First... apologize later, then it's because they are positioning. So maybe this was an innocent error, but was deeply reflective of an overall strategy to be the voice of the resistance. And therefore... an easy mistake to make when you are positioned as the voice of the left.
I bet, if you do some digging, you find that CNN either has staff psychologists or has hired consultants to put this whole positioning thing into action. CNN is a giant business as well as a 'news-tertainment' outlet. If they think they are going to make their money/ratings... aka money by serving a certain segment... then that is how they will focus everything from headlines to hiring. There is nothing 'newsy' about news. It's about persuasion and propaganda.

So I was wrong above... Reading the overnight coverage on this... the guy is officially dead meat.Apparently, the handlers think he will ride this one out! Political calculations made... friendly media onboard.

@MtnCreek and the governor partying it up!
They're bringing in Aztec and African replacements.
Africans that become Americans cant be counted on to be democrats in my experience, they hate the whole race politics thing and tend to be very entrepreneurial.
Saw a bit of George Steponmypus giving fair cover/excuses this morning.So I was wrong above... Reading the overnight coverage on this... the guy is officially dead meat.
Bet he resigns during Super Bowl or sotu so at to avoid the coverage.
The pile on after his denial... which was retarded, is epic. And, yes, the usual cast of characters is there protesting.
Guess the Lt. Gov struck a better deal! Very Wag the Dog! So much for this Dem rising star.
Hope there is a run on archived H.S yearbooks now. Especially leftist ones!

It's turning into quite the comedy for the left.
They screamed "RESIGN" and he said, "No Thanks".
Now they're not quite sure what to do. Nobody has stood up to them in this manner before.
If he resigns he forfeits about $4,000 / month in pension.
He has nothing to lose by standing firm.
I don't like the fucker, but next in line is even a bigger turd.
Interesting to watch play out, and maybe it's time someone did stand up to the assholes and say "No".
