    So did anyone figure out yet how a single anonymous account posting the AOC dance video resulted in a two-day national media explosion? Conspiracy seems unlikely, but what are the dynamics/incentives coalescing to create such a strange set of circumstances?

        The vid is corp media catnip. The right can't help drooling while pretending they hate her, and the center loves the narrative that she's young and naive. I can't quite figure out why they didn't get that it would help her though. Just the bubble I guess.

        I think there's stages: 1. Conservative outlets seize on it in AOC derangement 2. A combination of a delicious self own and a cute video (and a smidge of AOC cultism) explodes it on the left

        We live in a world where 10 seconds of a dude's "locker room" banter is still being discussed over a decade after the fact. Who knows what counts as "news" anymore?

        I've seen exponentially more backlash to the supposed critics of the dance video than I have any actual criticism of it.

        This whole AOC phenomenon doesn’t look right,even though I was taken with it from the start myself,if you think about how long they were grooming Obama for the top job? Hope I’m wrong

        Click bait journalism, AOC being hot, gets ratings without making an effort. And if it paints one of the main figures in Congress opposing the establishment as a non-serious person, all the better. Ain't rocket science.

        ha just had the same thought. what puzzles me is how a rando account could get enough RTs to get noticed in the first place. maybe the link was stuck up on some QAnon board or something.https://twitter.com/bat020/status/1081270830691168257 …

        bat020 added,

        in fact the edited AOC version is *such* an improvement that I'm very tempted to think the whole kerfuffle has been an elaborate false flag operation by DSA supporters.

        Anything, and I mean ANYTHING, that hits all mainstream media is a contrived hoax. They aren't covering major stories like Flint, so these are all "blessed" by their corp masters

        Yes. Part of mainstream propagandas job is not only to spread lies smears & disinformation. It is also to turn politics & politicians into a reality show.
