This week we continue the analysis of last year’s press conference Roosh held after the meetups were cancelled. We left off analyzing the brain-dead questions that journalists ask that should make you question their intelligence. Click here to read part one.
Would you say that media misinterpretations is the best thing that ever happened to you?
Go home you narcissistic cunt. This is not about you. Your job is to spread interesting or important news. You are not the news. The fact that you affected someone’s life in a positive or negative way should never be news. Go home, go directly home, do not pass go, do not collect $200, go straight to your closet, and hang yourself you lying piece of garbage.
How many bodyguards do you have?
Seriously? Unless you’re interviewing MC Hammer about his entourage, how could this be interesting to anyone, unless you plan on sharing information so the guy could be attacked?
What are you doing the next couple of days?
This is the type of bad question I cringe after asking a girl when I run out of anything interesting to say. You’re asking it during a live press conference? Do you even elderly game?
How often do you return for your mom’s meatloaf?
I’ll give this guy the benefit of the doubt that he is just trying to be friendly. But inappropriate for a press conference.
Have you had any trouble travelling internationally yet? Do you plan on trying to go to Australia?
I’m considering stopping this article if the questions don’t improve. How many different ways can I say “This question was irrelevant and boring?” Guys, read up on some day game openers and conversation skills.
What does your mom think about all this?
DING DING DING! We have a winner! Someone asked an interesting question! Now, she shouldn’t be part of the story at all, and only is, because of the media lying and doxxing, but this, under the circumstances, is something people might actually be interested in knowing. Answer: She’s angry at YOU, media!
Do you agree that if a girl is too drunk to consent to sex, and you have sex with her, that is legally defined as rape?
(Reporters begin arguing amongst each other about what the legal definition of rape is.)
The legal definition of rape is a factual thing, that can be verified by consulting local codes. The definition does vary from place to place. The legal definition has no bearing on what an individual person thinks about labeling of a certain behavior. Roosh doesn’t even live in the legal jurisdiction the journalists do, and his opinion on law is not relevant to what the law of a certain place objectively states. Stupid question. As your fellow journalists agreed.
What’s your opinion on Bill Cosby?
What’s your favorite flavor of ice cream? Roosh doesn’t even know Bill Cosby. I generally don’t care about someone’s opinion of someone they haven’t met and don’t know.
How did this become your issue?
That is not a question. What is “this”? The implication is rape, but the journalist doesn’t want to say it, because he doesn’t want it to be as obvious that HE is the one obsessed with rape. And again, it’s obvious to anyone out there, rape became an issue because the media lied about it and made it an issue. Just as Milo Yiannopoulos is now stuck discussing homosexual underage sex, the media is what made it an issue, and is the only reason it is being discussed.
Are you happy?
This was more a forced question. This girl couldn’t think of anything to say, but Roosh called on her. We’ll chalk this up to friendly curiosity.
How much did this cost you?
Why do you want to know? Are you interested in quantifying the damage of your lies? Or are you just being a dick?
What’s your vision for the future for male/female relations?
And here we have our second interesting question! And the first one that with any sort of journalistic merit that a reporter could develop into an interesting article.
Some dumbass in the back when pressed for a question says, “These guys have already asked most of the questions that I would have asked.”
REALLY!??????? I would ask more interesting questions of a homeless stranger!
Besides anti-PC stuff, what do you like about Donald Trump?
This is a personal background question that might be somewhat interesting in a sit-down interview, so we’ll give it half a point.
Why did you cancel the meetups?
And my faith is briefly restored, as we get a third real question, and the second one that has journalistic merit. What would have happened if the meetups were cancelled? How did you weigh that decision? Someone give this girl a gold star.
Why do the meetings in secret?
This is what I mean when I talk about absurd, self-evident questions. You could take a goat herder from Afghanistan, briefly explain to him that a men’s meetup group was labeled as a rapists club by the media, and they had to cancel their meetings, and HE would be able to tell you why any meetings must take place privately (actually, he probably would be confused at a group of journalists having power over what men do in their private time together, but you get my point). If you can’t figure this one out, turn in your journalism credentials immediately, if you haven’t already lost your job yet.
Kudos to Roosh for being able to calmly and honestly answer this question. I have not the patience.
How many girls have you had sex with?
Making Lemonade from Yellow Crayons
I must congratulate Roosh for having the patience to sit through these inane, ridiculous questions from “professional” “journalists.” To the dispassionate observer, they were boring and stupid. To someone personally affected by their lies, it must be enraging to have them treat the issue so trivially and amateurish.
Congratulations are in order for masterfully taking advantage of these absurd questions, and making a point when there was none in the question itself. Almost every absurd or self evident question was met not with the simple obvious answer, but used strategically to expound on an idea and attack the media for their buffoonery.
Results
Here we have 35 questions, 33 of which have no journalistic merit, indicating a 5.7% chance that if one is in a press conference, one will be asked an interesting, legitimate question. In total there were 3 decent questions and 3 half questions, so if one really stretched, around 12.9% of the questions were not absurd. How does this compare to the general public?
Fortunately we have just the data needed for such an experiment. We can look to the 131 questions Roosh answered from the general public late last year. Anyone with internet access who wished to pose a question could do so, and they were answered in a series of video chats on Youtube. Without examining all questions, I took a sample of 5 per each topic area. Here are the results followed by how many questions I deemed “good” or of universal appeal to a general audience.
Lifestyle / Health: 5/5. All were interesting questions. Example: What skills do you think 18-30 year olds should develop? Does it change after 30?
American Politics: 2/5. There were many “What would you do if given incredible political power” hypotheticals, which are not that interesting to me, but perhaps something cool for Roosh to dream about at night.
Religion / Spirituality: 4/5. Example: How can one prepare for the end / death?
Game / Travel: 5/5. No surprise here, as this is Roosh’s core area of expertise, and there were many curious, thoughtful questions. Example: If you could live in one city for the next 5 years, what would it be?
Personal: 4/5. I didn’t want to include this section, as personal questions are less likely to be of broad interest, but surprisingly the results were far above the journalist’s rate of 5.7%. Example: If you do not marry and have children, how will you spend your remaining years?
Globalism / Politics: 3/5. Most of the questions here were still interesting. Example: Why do you care about what happens to Western civilization?
Patriarchy / Tradition: 5/5. Plenty of excellent, thoughtful questions here as well. Example: Do you conclude it is not the nation but urban vs rural ideals?
Conclusion
The total random sample from the Roosh questions: 28/35 good, thoughtful, interesting questions, or a ratio of 80%. Compared to the professional journalists rate of 5.7%. In other words, for every 14 press conferences held, journalists could ask as many good questions as one group of strangers.
Which set of questions would you rather have answered by Roosh: the full list of media questions presented in bold text, or the five sample questions above I drew from the general public? Which paint a picture of Roosh, provide interesting ideas worthy of discussion, or stimulate your thinking? Which have broader implications for society, or could impact your life? Personally, I’d take the worst question from the public list of 131 over the best of the journalists (“Why did you cancel the meetups?”).
The media has proven themselves completely useless. Take your news from alternate sources, and consider looking abroad for a foreign media viewpoint. Do not trust the dishonest mainstream media, or clickbait publications like Buzzfeed. Their power is waning. The average age of a Fox news viewer is 68, and no mainstream news program comes even near the audience size of The Talking Dead, where people gossip about the episode of the zombie series the Walking Dead that just aired the prior hour.
The irony is that while sites like Infowars may dwarf CNN in audience size, the mainstream media still has huge influence and power. This is because the institution of the press is an important and valuable one, and it takes more than a few years of mismanagement to completely destroy it. If journalism schools keep teaching the same garbage that has created the current media mess, and average people off the street continue to do better jobs of asking and answering questions, one must wonder how long their power will continue.
Filling the Void
The continuing growth of ROK is proof that crowdsourced media will fill the void caused by the press. As major institutions have abandoned the values that Western civilization built up over centuries through patriarchy, moral codes, and religion, we are seeing a backlash directly from the people that see the decline in our society, our families, and our culture. We will not go quietly into the night.

Journalism has long passed beyond asking questions of merit. The real goal is to get the individual to say something stupid or interesting that they can use to run headlines. You see this all the time on sports press conferences, where the reporter is straight trolling an athlete to get him to lash out. Saturation of media (bloggers, etc) essentially mandates that an organization debase themselves for attention, lest they be relegated to the corner.
Teddy Roosevelt called journalists “muckrakers”. A very fitting name indeed.
Depends on the era and the outlet. LIke a pendulum, journalism tends to swing back and forth, and even from media organ to media organ. Some are idiot huckster sensationalists — like the ones that irritated Roosh — but others are educated and persistent, doing the important investigative work of holding public officials to task.
tl;dr The demonization of the media is sometimes deserved and sometimes not.
Media is value neutral.
There are some great old school journalists out there. They just don’t get the cushy jobs so hardly anyone knows their names. Delingpole springs to mind.
Did you see the media panicking about the workplace shooting in Orlando? They were hoping for the shooter not to be a Muslim male, and it turned out to be a white male.
I doubt this problem of liberal journalists is based on some form of inability to ask the good questions I believe they don’t want to face the honest answers to the good questions if asked.
journalist =/= philosopher
Journalist and philosopher do not go hand in hand, if there be one today it is one of sucking up to the political establishment. These people are just shills for the liberal elite.
Just watched the Kathy Griffin interview….shitlord at the end… classic…… if I was there I would have just piped up and said “you’re just a dumb cunt aren’t you”….. she’s a provocative comedian….. I’m sure she’d get the joke……
What about starting the meetings again? city by city and not just a simultaneous event (in order to avoid media backlash)? discretely?
We need to organize and build an entire organization.
Not sure what happened to him, but a fellow around these parts used to do something similar.
Less questions from Journalists, and more letters from Kings!
Must be really tough these days to get a job as a journalist (click to enlarge)…

“Must possess repugnance for white males and everything they do and enjoy”
Give me the title to the Land Rover and I’ll click the link…
You could add “kikes” to the “applicants must be” part.
Though I guess the kike thing is covered by the specifying of liberals. And gays.
Yeah I was gonna make it {{{liberals}}} but, spacing problems…
Upper management roles strictly forbidden to Gentiles.
Except for Shabbos goy frontmen to be the white male/female punching bags deflecting unwanted attention to the over representation of ‘chosen ones’ controlling the circus.
Remember what happened to Rick Sanchez at CNN? I do, he hasn’t had a steady job since.
If that’s the guy that called out the Jews bemoaning white privilege stating his boss’s and most networks bosses are Jews it doesn’t surprise me.
The guy had a lot of integrity, a hero standing up for the truth. The way those talk show hosts and Jews squirmed after he said it was hilarious.
The way they fired him then made a statement about how racism/anti Semitism wont be tolerated was laughable, but the sheep just accept it.
Well CNN is the crap news network. He was referring to liberal Northern folks who tend to be racist. And he was pointing fingers at Jon Stewart(not his real name). Apparently they put two and two together and labeled him “anti-Semitic”. Wonder why nothing about liberals who defend Muslims these days, and many Muslims have outright anti-Semitic views.
Rick Sanchez now works for Fox Latino.
Maybe Trump can’t build the wall and resurrect American manufacturing, but at least he is destroying the credibility of the mainstream media monster. All of them are shitting themselves because people don’t listen to them anymore. Alternative media is shaking them down.
Bigger they are the harder they fall.
Same time one of the MSM outlets published an opinion piece from a Jewish student at Princeton who wrote in the article he shouldn’t feel guilty about his “white privilege”.
One good thing about Trump is that while he probably won’t bring back factory jobs from China or build the border wall, he is doing a wonderful job of destroying the credibility of propaganda outlets like CNN, NBC, HuffPost, and other BS artist outlets.
Wonder why the MSM calls Trump a “tyrant”??? So far he hasn’t done anything that makes him one. Only thing though he definitely weakened the ability of the MSM to brainwash the masses.
Liberals, Hipsters, Gays or Trannies. A little redundant, no?
Journalists are afraid to ask real questions because they are afraid of losing their jobs at the institutional newspapers. So they ask the same inane, non – challenging questions as everyone else.
Are many really “afraid”? Surely many enjoy the easy, lazy approach to their chosen “craft” that lets them feel like important members of the cool kids’ club with the barest minimum of actual effort.
Besides, everybody they know believes wholeheartedly in the Narrative, so why rock the boat?
Probably you’ll find the scared ones at the lower levels of the hierarchy. Higher up you’ll find the ones who are fully vested. The others will probably leave after feeling disgusted with the mass media.
Most of the so called press these days are nothing more than propaganda for the corporations and elites that run the Western world. That is why alternative media has made major headway in recent years, because the MSM is just made to brainwash the masses.
Note how the media keeps labeling Trump as “authoritarian” without mentioning what acts make him such an individual. As if Bush and Obama were men standing up for freedom for the average citizens. I recalled when Obama was President, he made a joke about “taking out” one of the Jonas brothers with a Predator drone. Don’t recall Trump doing anything like that towards a private citizen.
Remember Bush created “Homeland Security” and it was under him that the surveillance state we know now exists, Obama amplified what Bush did to an even higher degree. Yet the media is making people panic calling Trump a “Fascist” and “Authoritarian”???
If he was an autocrat, then that travel ban he signed would have been in effect now, it was overturned by a Federal Court. So the court checked Trump’s power. Now how exactly is Trump “Authoritarian”, in such governments the state apparatus works for the head of state and does what he wishes.
Its the government bureaucracy, the Deep State, that is the real dictator here.
journalism needs to investigate itself. Until it can reflect on how it has whored itself to the babylon of power it might as well have japanese guys jizzing on the newsreaders faces. It wouldn’t even be a step further into the gutter.
Not to detract from your astute statement. But how did you come to the conclusion a Japanese guy in particular jizzing on you would be the most insulting.
as far as I’m aware newsreader bukakke is unique to the land of the rising sun. I think it all started with the fukushima coverage
I’d really like it if we could manage a meet-up somehow…it would be great to actually engage in person with the RoK readers & contributors.
Modern Western journalism conveniently stays silent on some issues. Bill 89 in Canada passed, which allows the gov to steal parents’ kids away if parents disagree with, or even question, the radical lgtbbq agenda kids are being taught (ie – not using “preferred pronouns”). Worldwide attention to Bill 89 should correct this deliberate MSM silence. A write-up on this site would be a good start.
Disgusting.
Im subtly educating my daughter the lgbtq agenda .
Even in private school the wymyns studies majors dominate…
In fact sex ed was conducted by dyke-
Its really out of control, the head of the PTA in some Jersey school district decided to come out in drag and put on a show as part of some pageant/talent show/whatever- parents were pissed off(finally! people are getting fed up!)
Its interesting- I just saw this on the local news here in NYC but it is NOT on their website and I cant find it via a keyword search; I guess certain people dont want this to go viral?
EDIT: found it. this went down in front of kindergarten kids. aaaaaand this guy has two kids,

Hopefully some push back soon. Its out of control
You are uniquely positioned to teach her about the agenda most heterosexual men have when they are around lovely young women; deliver this information candidly, with specific examples.
They’re less capable because their reporting is narrative-driven, not any attempt to investigate to find the right answers. And the narrative is always hysteria, not only because of their own biases but because their business model depends on it. http://masculineepic.com/index.php/2017/02/18/6-ways-the-media-can-stop-being-an-enemy-of-the-american-people/
Journalists drink too much, are bad at managing emotions, and operate at a lower level than average, according to a new study
http://www.businessinsider.com/journalists-brains-function-at-a-lower-level-than-average-2017-5
A show of hands, please: who is shocked to find people who have degrees in a major that makes Art History look rigorous are not particularly clever or perspicacious?
Add in the usual shitlib bent to the business and its insular, incestuous nature (few professions encourage herd behavior like journalism does), and the obvious incapability of the modern journalist is the expected result. any other outcome would be the real surprise.

Look at this article, a bunch of BS, makes you think all the Muslims that have been flooding into Germany went back home. Nope, read it and it says 55,000 left and 25,000 were deported but 890,000 entered. The overall situation is that the number of Muslims are increasing. And most of the ones deported came from the Balkans not the Middle East.
