Hogging Airtime – IOTW Report

Hogging Airtime

Tuesday, 20 February 2018, 15:55 BFH Uncategorized 57

David Hogg has been getting a lot of media airtime. He is a vocal anti-Trump survivor of the parkland school shooting and the leftwing media adores him. CBS even said, “welcome back” when he appeared on the screen.

He says his father is a retired FBI agent. (Spidey sense tingling a bit.)

There is a video of Hogg telling his account of the school shooting and it’s odd. It’s ostensibly a news report, but it seems a little bit more like you’re watching outtakes from a bloopers show. He’s stumbling through his story, and someone off camera is pulling him through, willing to do take after take, prompting him and working with him. They make it seem like they are just encountering a student on the street, like it’s a random chance meeting. I don’t think it is. I think there might be a makeup person and director with a beret in a canvas folding chair holding a megaphone just off camera.

In a vacuum, this can be overlooked. But in context, it gets even stranger.

Hogg was recently involved in another viral news story, in California, one where the “captured footage” seems awfully staged to me.

I’m not a conspiracy theory guy, but this is worth linking to because it’s just so strange.

Make of it what you wish.

These pictures of Hogg, and his cozy relationship with CNN, are interesting.

Vox says he’s a student journalist.

Seeing something like that, it frames your advocacy very clearly. I’m curious if you and your classmates were always passionate about this issue before last week.

David Hogg

Oh, absolutely. We’ve always been passionate about this. We’ve always been politically — we haven’t gotten out and campaigned or anything — but we’ve always been like, “Stop the bullshit; we hate living in America because being in school, our lives are put at risk every day, and that’s unacceptable. But what are we going to do about it?” We felt like the rest of the country — there’s nothing to do.

When this happened, we knew that this was our chance to say, “No more kids are going to die.” We’re going to hold these sick politicians who prefer the murder of children to [losing] their reelection. We’re going to hold them accountable. And that’s what we’re doing.

Jen Kirby

You also recorded your classmates while hiding out from the shooter. What motivated you to do that?

David Hogg

I thought if maybe [politicians] heard the voices of some that had died, maybe that would be enough to take action. But to be honest, it probably wouldn’t. It probably wouldn’t.

Jen Kirby

Do you see the Parkland shooting as a real turning point in the gun control movement?

David Hogg

I certainly hope so. I really hope so. The fact that more people are still talking about it and still seeing my face, and the fact that these people are continuing to be remembered is a testament to what we’re doing is kind of working.

  7. In my best Mister Spock voice:
    “Captain…If each of these incidents is a once-per-lifetime, 1-in-1,000,000,000 freak accident…

    …then one human teenager being randomly involved not just once, but twice, and in rapid succession, the odds against are incalculable. Mathematically impossible. Therefore,it cannot be an accident.”

  15. DCWhispers.com has another video clip of Hogg being coached and “directed” off camera, multiple takes, with TelePrompTer scripted lines.
    Also he’s claiming local FBI were “first responders” on scene, but nearest FBI satellite office is reportedly an hour’s drive away.
    Sum Ting Wong here.

  16. In the video below, Hogg is producing a video in a closet/classroom DURING the shooting. Listen carefully at about .36 – as the first girl is finished speaking, he whispers to another “c’mon, we need diversity,” and then another girl speaks, claiming she is generally pro-gun but is not changing her mind. She sounds like a black girl, which I bring up only due to what you hear Hogg whisper about “needing diversity.”

    He’s probably a smart, savvy kid, and that’s fine. We just need to scrutinize everything that’s going on here as people are using a horror show to gain advantage.

  20. Assuming Hogg is not lying and FBI actually WERE on scene immediately, was this another Deep State staged shooting? Another Fast N Furious staged atrocity to attack the 2A (and detract from HRC/Russia revelations)?

    If so it’s working pretty well for the Left thus far.

  25. Oh I’m sure they’ll try, but it’s soooo far away from now (according to media time. lol) They will get distracted when Flynn takes back his guilty plea or something like that. I give this story 2 more weeks, tops. lol

  32. He looks familiar. Familiar as in an actor in an indie film the hubs on the TV a while ago. I’ll see if he remembers the name of the film. Yet one more paid-off fraud being perpetrate by the left.

  33. Yes Virginia, douchebags come in all ages, shapes, sizes, genders & deficiencies of intelligence. Is this one of the jerks who knew “Cruz was going to shoot up the school one day” but never told a person in authority?
    A lot of blame to go around, from fellow students to the FBI; as usual, it’s all being blamed on those who had NOTHING to do with it.

  36. He and his pals are just a group of kids who bought their 15 minutes of fame with the blood of 17 innocents. He’s a smug little bastard whose getting his talking points from CNN and likely his Dad. There’s no PTSD there, just a love of the camera and the atention it’s bringing.

  37. On the CBS Sunday show, the fat woman anchor was gleeful when this punk said “Trump sickens me.”
    The way he said it was so canned and rehearsed, definitely not from the heart.

    Oh and the “we had a government shutdown” is the biggest red flag that this douchebag is a 100% all-in leftist tool.

  40. No surprise. Anyone actually believe these scheduled rallys were done by HS students?! This is all scripted BS leftist astroturf funded by Soros or other liberal groups (now Clooney). The dems have nothing to run on, this is what they see is their opportunity. To use emotion, use kids and paint Republicans as heartless pigs that don’t want to do anything to stop gun violence. This is when you need to take Trumps lead and push back with the reality they are the ones that aren’t doing a thing to stop the next shooter, that probably already has the weapon he’ll use. This is all feel good accomplish nothing BS.

  41. Bad_Brad, remember Royce Mann? The Left was slobbering all over him for about a week back in 2016, after this…

    Talk about a one hit wonder.

    Jen Kirby: “Do you see the Parkland shooting as a real turning point in the gun control movement?”

    David Hogg: “I certainly hope so. I really hope so. The fact that more people are still talking about it and still seeing my face…”

    Not for long, you insufferable punk. Don’t quit school for a TV job just yet.

  43. My Spidey Senses started tingling when the location of this massacre was 40 miles from the Winter White House. An easy commute for protesters. Out of the 3.8 million square miles in the U.S., what are the odds?

  46. Hogg is one phucken creepy lookin’ fuddermucker. Emma Gonzales is expecting more interviews, on her way to fame, and the broad from CNN is an idiot. This is getting harder and harder to take. Fake News at it’s very best.

  49. Got participation trophies for the umpteen everythings he participated in since age three, and his parents were still appplauding him taking a shit when he was ten years old. Epitome Parkland.

  54. This turd is the son of ex FBI agent, his dad sent him to a school that the FBI knew was potentially deadly. The local FBI knew and did nothing, maybe the dad and local FBI wanted this to happen to hurt Trump. I would love to prove that!!!!!
