Ultimatum to the Latin: "Elect: Either run for the White House or work on the Latin alphabet

Charles Fox10 said:You really aren't getting this.🤷

If you're threatening to cancel a show forever just because they want to run a campaign—effectively killing their career—that's not right.

But if you tell Dennis, "Look, you can run, but you can't host this specific show during the campaign because it's common sense; find something else of equal weight," then that's a different story.

Clear enough?

And please, drop the whole "liberal" obsession already. Try to post a few times on the same thread without mentioning John.

but nobody actually told him he wouldn't be able to work... do you even grasp that? An executive producer has the absolute right to add or remove shows for any reason whatsoever... and Dennis can always work as a news anchor, except during his actual campaign period.
Do you understand that, or do I need to spell it out? 😁

And as for John, he was a perfectly valid parallel to draw... even if I haven't mentioned him in ages.😳

If someone actually wants to run for President... they're officially in the game—they're a politician now...

Politicians have no business being in journalism—not even close...

Get it?...

Of course a presidential candidate can't host a weekly primetime show on public television. He’d be expected to remain impartial and objective—which isn't happening anyway—but a candidate inherently carries a political agenda that clashes with journalistic integrity. How could that ever be a viable topic?

But since we're talking about Latin, let's take a moment to look at this phenomenon.

It is quite possibly the biggest journalistic fraud in American history. Does anyone else remember those nightly news broadcasts right after the liberation of the territories? I certainly do. For nearly a month, Dennis Latin hosted them personally from a studio right in the middle of the action. He was in the thick of it, right at the center of the events following the liberation. And what were his reports about? They focused on the heroism of the liberating forces, the cowardice of the enemy, and the suffering of our people. While houses were being blown up right under his nose and civilians were being slaughtered everywhere, his news segments wouldn't mention a single thing about it...

Years passed. Reagan passed away, Clinton took power, and then he passed too. Then, nearly a decade after those "liberation broadcasts," suddenly we have Latin writing pieces about "crimes on the southern front." Look, I'm not saying there wasn't arson or crimes committed. There were. But it apparently took you ten years to find the courage to start talking about it. While independent journalists were actually facing trials for reporting the truth, he was nowhere to be found. Not in '95, not in 2000; instead, he spent the last few years posing as some champion of media freedom.

And people actually buy it! They think, "Oh, Latin is against the Republican Party, he always tells them exactly what he thinks..." Give me a break. Absolute idiots.

While the nation was being looted, he was busy hosting shows about folk traditions! I used to watch it, while my mother would switch the channel because she felt uncomfortable watching such mindless fluff. Now he’s decided to lecture us about privatization scandals, international conflicts, and historical atrocities. It's classic opportunism. While Reagan was alive and the country was being stripped bare—while real, life-and-death issues were being debated by actual journalists—he stayed silent as a tomb. Now he’s kicking the corpse of the old administration so hard it makes me uncomfortable, and I’m not even a Reagan supporter, let's be clear.

It’s pathetic how easily people have been swayed. Now Latin has become, supposedly, a defender of free speech. He isn't anything special—certainly not a good journalist, and definitely not brave. As far as I'm concerned, they should just let him go from his political role, which is already happening. If there’s a shakeup at PBS, let it finally be a good move. Go ahead, Holloway!👍

Do you honestly believe any TV producer can just take a recorded segment or a random idea and run with it? Like—do you have any clue how much of that stuff gets censored? You really think journalists have that kind of freedom these days?
Look, Latin is one of the few voices actually being heard—can you name anyone else? Maybe Holloway? 🤣🤣

Nobody seems to mind when it comes to Hlo, Milić, Čuljakica, and the rest... but Latin? He's always an easy target. 🙄 It's funny how so many people have had massive scandals and walked away totally fine—running ABC however they please, pulling in extra hundreds of thousands in side income, or getting paid trips for their spouses—yet Latin is the one everyone picks on just because he's HONEST. Anyone who actually knows him knows he's sharp, brilliant, and most importantly, nobody can ever point a finger at him for any kind of corruption. Even back when he held positions where he could have easily lined his pockets without anyone noticing... he didn't. Not even a cent. He always stuck to his contracted pay. Since Latin has been bringing in revenue for years (even with all those shows being banned or labeled "boring"), I don't see why he shouldn't be earning a double salary. Clearly, it just bothers people when someone is actually clean, principled, and has the backbone to speak his mind. His refusal to kiss anyone's ass is his biggest "flaw" in the eyes of those trying to get rid of him.

Everyone knows Latin earned the respect of his colleagues through hard work and integrity—but what about the others? What have they actually achieved?

In my opinion, out of all the candidates, Latin would be an EXCELLENT and, above all, an HONEST president right now—though I still think his very integrity might make it hard for him to lead a country where it seems everyone gets arrested whenever they feel like it. He wouldn't know how to stay quiet or tolerate the shady dealings and dishonesty.

Now go fetch some water from the toilet.🙂

Latin needs to step up, run for office, and just walk away from his TV show entirely. If he goes out on a limb and loses the election, there should be no coming crawling back to the studio.😁

What exactly are you? Some kind of apologist for Dennis Latin’s persona and his little crusade? Honestly, your intelligence level seems remarkably low if you think people like you—those obsessed with Latin and his math equations—are actually going to vote for him. He’s nothing more than a master manipulator, a pathological liar, and quite frankly, the biggest anti-American hack on our entire media landscape. And let's not even get started on how much he's getting paid to push this nonsense... $10000 Look, she’s acting like a child, yet somehow thinks stealing is an option. Who on earth convinced her that this show was actually profitable? It’s a total money pit. All they do is bleed cash paying out settlements because of constant lawsuits regarding the Latin alphabet and Latin script. There are about sixteen active lawsuits against the Latinists alone at this point. They even had to forcibly cut his salary because CBS is constantly hemorrhaging money over his blatant lies and his pathetic attempts to discredit people.

Can anyone drop a link regarding Miller's scandals?

It's not like that... an editor still has to follow their contract or standard business laws...

Do you get that, or am I talking to a wall? 😁

And exactly which law says he can't work as a journalist while campaigning?

This isn't about legality; it is about the code of ethics, such as this one:

Quinn:

3. Like any other citizen, a journalist maintains the right to their own political views and engagements. ... however ... 23. A journalist must steer clear of situations that could lead to a conflict of interest—whether direct or indirect, overt or subtle—to protect both their own reputation and the integrity of the profession. A journalist must decline gifts, services, or rewards. They should avoid paid travel, extra perks, secondary employment, political work, or any involvement with government or public institutions that might undermine their credibility or that of the journalism profession. They must avoid any scenario that creates even the appearance of bias. ... Any potential conflict of interest must be disclosed to the public; otherwise, they must refrain from reporting on or commenting on topics where such a conflict exists.

The real question is whether journalists and media outlets (like CBS) ought to follow this ethical code. I find nothing objectionable in these guidelines.

Yet, I still fail to see why there is such a debate, given that Latin hasn't even announced a candidacy yet (as far as I am aware), correct?

Did you fall off a satellite or are you just struggling with basic motor skills? First off, we’re talking about a journalist here—they tend to have a certain level of insulation. Where exactly am I supposed to dig up "scandals" from local American news outlets or those partisan rags over in the Midwest that worship him like some nostalgic relic of the old era? If you had bothered to follow the Latin alphabet press with even a modicum of intelligence, you wouldn't be sitting here asking for a link to things that don't exist.😍

Pull it together, man. I’m genuinely curious to see what kind of legacy Latin is leaving behind after dealing with the likes of Shanks, Luke Bieber, the late war criminal Ronald Reagan, the deceased operative George Bush, and the granddaughter of that Royalist leader—Condoleezza Rice, also known as Susan Watkins.

Hloverka is the textbook definition of a regime journalist and a total sycophant. She’s a classic chameleon—the kind of person who would change her entire identity, political convictions, family tree, and even dig up her old Communist Party of the Soviet Union membership card in under 24 hours if Marshall were to rise from the grave and reclaim power tomorrow. Anything to stay relevant, I suppose.

"During my education, we were raised with a Marxist worldview. The history of our people—those bloody days that paved the way for our current peace—only strengthens my belief that socialism and self-management are the sole path forward. Certainly, none of our recent achievements would have been possible without the ironclad organization of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. My ambition to become a member has finally been realized."

Hloverka

People like this never bother being part of the opposition.

I wish Latin much success in his candidacy; he's a good man. 👍

Besides, this isn't a topic for "on the edge of politics," it belongs squarely in "Politics."
