Kanye West posts ONE tweet. ONE ambiguous tweet.
And there are articles about it on (in no particular order):
NYPost, USAToday, Politico, Reason, Complex, Jezebel, Heavy, PJMedia, Forbes, ABC, FOX, The Wrap, Vogue, Epoch Times, Washington Post, Socialite Life, Pop Sugar, Salon, Bloomberg, CNN, Buzzfeed, Economic Times, BBC, Teen Vogue, ET Online, NC Daily News, New York Times, Washington Times, US Magazine, Business Insider, Deadline, Infowars, The Mirror, The Independent, The LA Times, The Guardian, People, NBC, Variety, and Hollywood Gossip. No doubt there are many many others.
And of course Reddit, Twitter and Facebook have doubtless exploded into a frenzy (but I don't use them so that's just a guess)
Even here it's getting a staggering amount of traction.
All based on a single ambiguous tweet.
Am I the only one who thinks it's insane?
You lying dog-faced pony soldier... They used to put razors in the rain barrel and my leg hair would go up...
I think you were telling us how Corn Pop was a bad dude, but he aint black because he's not voting for ... whatshisface.
I absolutely agree.
I've taught the same rule to my wife ... she's having some minor trouble getting on top of it, but she's getting there. :)
It's twitter real. Not real real. Said so at the outset.
Once it's real real. I'll give it more attention (still don't have an answer how the hell the electoral college would handle 'write-in' candidates - and I've been digging - any civics wonks out there?).
Welcome to 🤡🌎.
The disproportionate response is probably entirely because of Kanyes following count on twitter, and prominent association (and one may dare say, friendliness!) with the Trump admin. So all that 'influencer' clout that the left is all about is suddenly against Biden, and its all by a black man so they cant use the racial angle in response either.
That's panic stations. And being a mass of controlled fabricated fake-news, the panic is pushed to all of them at once. Which is then substantive and coordinated enough to make it to real news - anything the fake news pushes hard all at once is a story irrespective of the content of the actual story.
When the insane is the new normal 🤡
Excellent points Pede.
The media is full of stupid people desperate for a click.
You're not alone. I've just learned to accept that the hive likes to buzz at dumb shit like this from time to time.
It Seems The Same As when He Put MAGA HAT ON .. To Me.he Is Weird Person To say the least.
He's got a new single out!!!!.... It's free publicity.
He posted about building a shelter with the same hashtag as yesterday. Of course everyone went nuts, oh noes the black vote won't be going to Cornpop!

Look fat, if you vote for Kanye you ain’t black.
Nothing wrong with many of us. I'm like yawn. Others are like echo chambers, with audio amplifiers.
Let the enemy keep destroying themselves
I think it’s reasonable to report it as news.
I think it would be reasonable to report it as news if it were clear what he's saying.
But at the moment it boils down to "Kanye tweeted this ... and we don't know what he means"
have to do it to distract people from real problems
There are so many reasons for the media to run with this.
Just a few are to lessen the impact of Trump’s great speeches 7/3 + 7/4 and to hide Biden’s horrible 7/4 comments. Distract from the arrest of Ghislaine Maxwell. Try to convince blacks that Kayne doesn’t support Trump...
Very true.
I don't think the spin they put on his 4th speech reached anyone but those who are already ideologically corrupted anyway.
Let Kanye be, meh whatever...he likes throwing bombs.
I used to be disgusted, now I'm just amused.
How much of this is astroturf and how much is people taking up the astroturf? Because I'm sure some are outraged genuinely in their sad little worlds, but there's a shill army between all of these outlets, and at this point, I have no estimation of how active it is.
No
Ye scared the shit outta ere'body!
Be patient, when he retracts we can go back to saying celebrities should always be apolitical.
Real actual AI has taken over. Not those faggoty algorithms people market as AI.
