  1. Re:Mainstream media DOES invent news on President Obama On Fake News Problem: 'We Won't Know What To Fight For' (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    Well then the New York Times must be a bunch of conspiracy theorists because they came out and admitted their bias even apologizing to their readers and promising to do better.

    That's incorrect. The NYT letter was to assure their readers that they will continue ("rededicate" themselves to) doing what they've always been doing.

    The first step of beating an addiction (in this case, of deceitful partisanship) is admitting you have an addiction. Their letter was really close, but in the end claimed they didn't have a problem telling the truth, they were just confused by Trump's popularity.

    Again, a poster who thinks that naming a single non-liberal channel proves there isn't a liberal bias in the media.

    The irony is that you don't understand that the fact that you can only same one 'non-liberal' news channel, essentially proves the point he was making.

    Well, since this "Luis Vitton" is clearly a knock off of the real Louis Vuitton, I guess they would only use gold plating. The authentic Louis Vuitton shingles are 24K gold. I know this because my wife just ordered a new roof for our summer home in the Caymans.

    Sorry, your attempt at patronizing humor failed. I am not a Trump supporter, I voted for Jill Stein. I just like seeing all the precious snowflakes getting their panties in a twist because their favorite sociopath was defeated by a more intelligent one.

    538 pretty much nailed the election based on the bad data they chose for themselves.

    FTFY. It boggles the mind that people can't see past the incompetence. I don't know on which planet "pretty much nailed" amounts to getting it completely wrong. I sure as hell don't want to live on that one.

    Oh, yes. The liberals only called one person racist, misogynist, or fascist in the last year.

    Great comeback.

  20. How often to conservatives or Republicans riot?

    You mean like when an armed group took over the federal wildlife?

    How many cars did they destroy? How many building were burned? How many people were injured during these riots you speak of?

  21. As I just posted above, the AC that disputed my claim would like to make out that I limited myself to Soros directly paying BLM in cash on a street corner. But my claim was for all outside money funding numerous activities. Don't let the idiot squad drag you into a false debate about a point never made.

  22. Your weird attempt to insert a false dichotomy into my argument notwithstanding, extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof, which is on the person spreading the allegation not the person hearing it.

    I hear that line a lot from people who don't want their beliefs challenged by reality. The rest of us know how to use Google to investigate something we find important enough to post about.

  23. First point: In my original post above, I did not specify who the outsiders are. Unless the protests are being paid for by the actual protesters, then there must be an outside source of funds. That isn't conspiracy theory, that's economics 101, someone has to pay the bills. Whether is is George Soros or someone else, and whether the outsiders funded thousands of dollars or millions, the point stands that someone with money is funding the protests.

    Second point: A Google search for "funding of black lives matter" shows numerous links to articles debating the truth and falsehood of particular persons and groups funding Black Lives Matter in particular, and other similar/related groups in general. Go read a few, and you'll find more than white supremacy to keep you occupied.

    Here are a few interesting ones.

    http://www.snopes.com/ford-mot...
    http://www.politico.com/story/...

    Third point: I also did not limit my statement to any specific protest group that has happened lately. So how about a Google search for "funding of protests"?

    I'm sure you will use your cop-out line of "white supremacists" and "alt-right", and whatever hand-waving you have to do, to ignore reports that you don't like. There were certainly links to the sites you mentioned, and others you will also ignore. But it would take a strong will to ignore all of them.

    Have a nice day.

    Yeah, those damn conservative media that show videos of progressives stating they want to take away guns. How dare they confuse the issue with hard evidence?

  25. I'm sorry. I've looked over my post, trying to find the conspiracy theory you are referring to. Other than protesters being funded by outsiders, such as George Soros, I don't see any point I made that could possibly be a dreaded conspiracy theory. And it was shown that George Soros and other rich leftists did pay for protesters, and paid for them to become violent.

    So, please point out the conspiracy theory, meaning an unfounded notion of tangled webs of deceit and corruption, in my above post. Thank you.
