Pray tell, who DO you consider fair? (this should be interesting...)

That's easy. No one.

If I wanted to get a "fair" look at this topic, for example, I'd read the WSJ, NYT, WaP , BBC or Guardian and something (don't know what) from Canada. Somewhere in all that is the "fair" look at the facts.

Well, at least one of those is "fair".

So, you'd read the WSJ, but when I cite the WSJ, it's not good enough? :shocked:

Exactly. It's one part of the story. IMHO (and it's only MO) you never get the fair (meaning all side considered) story with one source. If you just want to have your pre determined opinion supported - one source is fine. If you want something closer to the truth - you need to listen to all sides!

And then pick the one (s) that are the closest to your already established opinion

I took apart an uncomfortable "my pillow" once when I threw it out and the "patented filling" was torn up foam. Someone left the new boxed pillows out for free. No wonder they were free.
I also don't buy company logo clothes which are usually ugly large logos and clothes.

I always wondered why consumers are willing to pay EXTRA for company advertisements emblazoned on their chests, hats, hoodies. I get the little Levi's tag or the swish on the side of your sneaker. Most normal people don't look there to see what brand a person is wearing.

But shirts, hoodies, hats that have the company logo big enough that the casual observer can't possibly miss it - why aren't those people being paid to advertise those companies? Why are you all paying for it?

Same thing with buying cars from dealerships. They should be paying me to have their sticker on the back of my car.

Ironically, he has almost all immigrants working in his factory. Such a phony.

Who is he? And what is wrong with providing jobs to immigrants? My grandparents got started here like that
