    How do you complain about a WaPo reporter laughing at Trump on their personal time, but yet you quote two of the most right-wing and biased sources on the planet. I mean these two sources are outright propaganda sources - you do realize that?

    President spreading misinformation on Twitter?

    I’m shocked. Shocked, I tell you.

    The story is true.

    You can bash the **** out of the sources and mock the sources till our ears bleed.

    The story is STILL true.

    And what's the significance of one reporter for a paper being anti-Trump? Are the political views of WaPo important, or the content and accuracy of their stories?

    If I am a liberal am I not allowed to write news??? Then in that case neither are conservatives.

    The story may be true, but the intent is awful

    I still stand by my post from page 3 of this thread, made almost three years ago.


    Trump is more the enemy of the American people than the media.

    It's Pavlovian for both you (and @NewRoxFan) to attempt to question and mock me or the sources I use....despite the fact I'm reporting on spying on a Dem public official....so assured in your self righteousness you don't even attempt to read what's written much less understand the conversation taking place.

    The intent was to call out a photographer for secretly taking pictures of a DEM CONGRESSMANS unattended documents in a hearing. In other words, the press was spying on a DEMOCRAT official. Right in the middle of a break of the impeachment of a President.

    Let me repeat, a DEMOCRAT congressman was being spied on. There is attending video evidence of him doing so.

    Would you mind explaining what is "awful" about calling out that kind of behavior?

    THIS POST is the one in question you imbecile.
    https://bbs.clutchfans.net/index.ph...-american-people.280663/page-69#post-12752117

    Containing THIS tweet...not some picture of a chick drinking beer.

    THIS is the tweet in question that NRF (and later you) were calling out for the media source.


    Either figure out what the **** the discussion is about or butt the **** out. Either one is acceptable.

    Why did I call out epoch times as a media source?

    But continue using epoch times as a source... I enjoy ridiculing it...

    Right-right news articles can be true, But their accuracy is a lot lower and provides a narrative far more narrower that's catered to particular echo chambers.

    I would caution using that as just a lead and cross referencing the source and facts.

    Steve Bannon's strategy of leaking to the times then attacking further on his site was a hack for this, but we gotta do with the best we have.

    I don't know about the rest of you but I'll often flip between CNN , Fox , MSN and BBC to get multiple takes on a particular issue.

    When it comes to CNN , Fox and MSN .... its alike all three of them are telling a different story supported by half truths propping up their agendas while the other channels are in complete opposition telling the other half of the truth. Its like they live in different realities.

    The bottom line is that these media conglomerates are without question biased one way or the other and do their best to put their thumb on the scale and this isn't some new phenomena and its definitely not a one sided affair.

    Leaves me wondering what actual stake they have in these political outcomes .... because they go so far to drive the narratives - it isn't simply political ideology.

    NPR has never failed a fact check, unlike the sources you love to parrot here
