2. Without making this to go into a area of P which is out, let me just say......what we are being told in many cases by both sides of the equation is flat out not true. IF you follow whatever way, you are being misled. It affects a lot of us. I realize you think I am speaking of only one way but that is not true at all, although simply because of the pulpit available, most is. IF YOU VOTE ON ISSUES, which I do, and not personalities, then you are misled if you follow either side without searching for facts. From the pulpit is mostly lies from the other is mostly wishy washy platitudes and you think about it for even a second, you know that to be true.

You can attack me all you want......at lease I am alive to fight back....you can go into other threads and talk about me, but do me a favor.......discuss the issue......what example is there that you have that did not emanate from a social media homemade video that hows the media is lying which is the subject of this thread.

I was also upset at the Covington thing but also upset at attacks on our country and its institutions. If you wish to dwell on something that started with a home video and was only on the media because of internet trolls, that is your right. There are nasty, idiotic and hate filled videos on the internet right now which are disgusting. There are hate statements made each day, which represent our country as they travel around the world.

Anyway, if this is now going to be about the Covington story and that used to proclaim the media as biased and bad.........well, I find that just plain stupid. That is a desperate attempt to change the subject.

YES, we all process date differently....FOR SURE, but my wish is that we process the same date and then discuss how we arrived at our position. We do not do that EVER it seems, and do not want to gt into details because I think this thread is important if we stay on subject.

Those who are claiming the media lies or distorts, I ask you for examples and never get them. If Covington is your answer which was a social media event, well we will never agree. i, PERSONALLY, need truth on budgets, foreign policy and such things.

You must have missed a lot going on with the Covington situation. Your posts totally confound me that you didn't see or read the erroneous reporting that occurred over this situation by the media. It is readily available from many sources by just googling it. You are right in the sense that they "cleared it up" but not after printing and airing one-sided, inaccurate information for quite some time. If that's what you call good, honest reporting then I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree. JMHO but everything out there media-wise is suspect as to whether or not it is truthful. To claim that certain sources are never wrong, never "lie", or are never biased just seems foolish to me.
