That is great. Way to take a stand against man of the long long con.

The long long con?

Spewing unemployment as a project

The 59 year con. That's long

What were the demographics of the 30% needing remedial english? Bet I know...

If you go back and read my original post Trump's name was never mentioned as this was about the absurdity of news reporting.

What I find interesting is that people who hate Trump seem to be annoyed at people who support Trump and even more bizarre people who never mention Trump at all.

Again for the upteenth time, my topic is not about Trump but it seems every political thread irrespective of the topic results in reductio ad Trumpursun?

Personal best Regards:

Still waiting for your examples of bad or absurd reporting.

I have no problem finding in depth reporting on issues of the day

Then again, I do not read the extreme (Alex Jones, etc) web sites nor the National Enquirer and skip over what you call the Kardashian news.

Thank you for your excellent post. Those who denigrate good journalism (including the current President) know nothing about our proud history of investigative journalism going all the way back to 1690.

Most of the people who denigrate journalism do so because they watch Fox. Fox constantly puts down education and journalism, because their viewers are neither educated nor do they recognize real journalism.

.


Pssst!


.

People should look at some of the journalists on Facebook. I mean like Dan Rather, Robert Reich, etc. They are really showing the problems the Donald John Trump administration is putting on the average Joe.

my friend your own words support my contentions. the news daily is replete with examples of absurdity and people have read it so long they do not even notice difference any longer

I gave a clear and simple blueprint of what they do. You do not seem to be able to link my blue print to actual examples .

People have loss the distinction between real news and social media nonsense ie kardashian journalism "all about nothing".

an example was Melania Trump's trip with her husband to view the catastrophic results of Irma. what did reported focus on melania's shoe wear :D and they visited many so called talking heads to determine what their view was about her wearing high heels." Was it appropriate?" "What was she thinking?" "Obviously she is not serious person"...reductio ad absurbum

Now do yourself of favor and stop trying to one upmanship me. Better yet I'll make it easier for you and in front of God and the members of this forum by admitting that you are brighter, smarter and wiser than I will ever be. You will always be the winner.


to my way of thinking this forum means "nothing" its the passing of time and to take it seriously is a mistake.

Personal Best Regards:

They denigrate it because they KNOW better.

I've been personally involved in events that made the news...what was reported and what actually happened were not the same.

They put down the CURRENT status of "education" which I agree is deplorable. It's been dumbed-down so literally "anyone" (any white person) can pass.

Get a real job.

Former liberal journalist does not like Fox News...go figure.

YOU are the only one who comments on Mrs. Trump's shoes on here......YOU are the only one commenting so much on Kardashian.....YOU are the one who demeans the press at every opportunity...YOU are the one who can never supply any substance (except for the above noted shoe story, which I was not aware of)......

And it is YOU who then turn your inability to even make a salient point into..."You do not seem to be able to link my blue print to actual examples ".. As you have said to me and others on here....I am not going to do your research....if you are going to accuse others, it seems only right that you allow substance.

Right is not what this forum is about, by the way. It is about discussion, but you do not discuss....YOU preach.

I have strong opinions but rarely express them without giving links or supplying the why I feel that way.

If Mrs. Trump's shoe story makes you believe the entire press has
lost their way, then fine....you base your accusations (many and varied) of "fake news", out to get the WH, lying media and such stupid comments on that....ok, that is you.

If you are offended by such stories then go to the front page of a MSM site and not the crap you are reading. You accuse me and others of some kind of syndrome when you find yourself fixated with such trite stuff, I would examine your own self and stop judging and preaching about others. Same media called Mrs. Obama a monkey, but betting that did not raise your hackles.

You are more interested than those you say have a syndrome in destroying something and obsessing on something. You do not like the media.....and you obsess to the point of accusing them of things you cannot prove or even get close to.

At least there is some substance to you two's dialog. :BigApplause:

This was announced by Putin. This is the Russian way...

"MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian President Vladimir Putin signed into law on Saturday new measures allowing authorities to list foreign media outlets as “foreign agents” in response to what Moscow says is unacceptable U.S. pressure on Russian media."

Followed in mere hours by Trump tweet...

".@FoxNews is MUCH more important in the United States than CNN, but outside of the U.S., CNN International is still a major source of (Fake) news, and they represent our Nation to the WORLD very poorly. The outside world does not see the truth from them!"

Coincidence ? I doubt it very much. By the way...CNN INTERNATIONAL is the Gold Standard for journalism around the world. They have journalists in every country who have risked their lives to deliver factual reporting. I specifically thought they were outstanding in Syria.

This along with "rumors" our President has been overheard that he would like to see Fox as our "state news" A rumor I will remind you, but sadly, it has a readable ring to it.

And your continuation with the absurd obsession concerning Trump stems from low attention span

Do you really want to play these silly children's games Geezzz

You must be Greek..............................

Personal Best Regards:

Speaking of news sites and a bizarre President, our country should fear this kind of thing seriously.....

His tweet...

"Wow, even I didn’t realize we did so much. Wish the Fake News would report! Thank you. Twitter …
6:25 PM - Nov 25, 2017"


The website he was so enamored with....

"The website’s name, MAGAPILL, references Trump’s campaign slogan “Make America Great Again” along with the “red pill” concept popular among the online alt-right and white nationalist movements. Taking a red pill in these circles refers to being awakened to the “reality” of the alt-right worldview, an allusion to a plot device in the 1999 science fiction film The Matrix.

MAGAPILL.com’s website appears to consist of links to archived news items from mainstream media outlets touting successes of the Trump presidency. “MAGAPILL is here to ensure that President Trump’s Legacy is properly documented,” reads the site’s about page.

Trump Tweets Link to Conspiracy Theory Website | The Weekly Standard

"And that’s just one tweet. Among the other crazy and baseless conspiracy theories MAGAPILL has promoted include the politically motivated murder of DNC employee Seth Rich, a cabal of members of Congress involved in satanic rituals and child sex abuse, and the existence of an anonymous internet poster with “Q-level” security clearance who is working to bring down the world order.

The tweet from President Trump appears to have brought an unprecedented amount of traffic to the bare-bones MAGAPILL website—enough to temporarily crash it.

Trump’s promotion of a fake-news site came shortly after another tweet of his blasting CNN’s international channel as “fake news.” The president regularly lobs this epithet at any legitimate news organization that he says is unfair or wrong in its coverage of him.

I AM JUST sick of YOU almost on a daily basis, with never any substantiation maligning our media who do a great job.

The fact that they report your hero accuretly seems to bother you, but YOU are the one who has simply trashed the media month after month. You have said they lied...you have said they twist things.....not much you have not blamed them for, YET YOU NEVER supply any proof...just accusations.

Dont be getting cutsey with me and all smart ass remarks.

You make the accusations.......if true I will support them, but if you are LYING as you have been, or providing nothing BUT ACCUSATIONS then you need to be corrected.

You can post your cute little smart ass comments all you want.

Try to deal with facts some time...you may find it refreshing.

Donald John Trump just keeps on lying. Must be second nature for him.

My obsession ?

I simply respond to you, with back up in whomever you are accusing and demeaning. So, I speak to blunt your preaching and terrible things you say about others.

You have spent a year accusing, demeaning, and undercutting our free press.

I simply respond..I ask your source, you do not respond. I ask for examples of why you do this, you do not respond. At one time you wanted issues... I gave the. To you and you simply avoided them. Just this week, threads on tx proposal, etc..you ignore.

You seem to have one function...preach and demean others..progressives, heck anyone who might oppose your idol.

No, the obsession is yours....you are obsessed with Trump. I still consider the man to be an extremely serious threat to our country, and our democratic ideals, and know he has already ruined our global reputation. You seem bound and determined to endorse and support being untruthful while you proudly speak of how moral you are. I think Trump, and you feel superior because your skin is white, despite you claiming virtue, and refusing how to solve the inequities in the right way. You take the attack position. You use innocuous arguments, such as Mrs. Trump's shoes instead of actually weighing in on the issue.

You never even try to defend his bizarre behavior , as if you condone his lying.

Rockface is a nutjob. Feels Republican party is too far right. But objects to Trump, most left of any Republican ever.

Trump scares him..... booo

Hey Rubi - just ask the clown "why is his news source the ACCURATE one?"

Remind him that being a smart a$$ is better than being a dumb a$$...

Of course; ask him to be refreshed dealing with the fact that tax increases do not make poor people less poor.

The clown with 50 years experience in the political arena that voted Dopey Smurf for president!

Yeah, I am nuts.

I object to a President who supports extreme websites that promote conspiracy theories and white supremacy.

I object to a President who simply makes up a bizarro claim about the Man of the Year....SIMOLY MAKES IT UP IN HIS MIND..and then tweets that bizarro thought to the world.

I object to a President who is more well known for his lying and deceit, across the globe, than his statesmanship.

I object to a President who is violating all ethics codes established and flat out ignores any discussion of that.

These are just from the last few days, and there is a litany of more eccentric, deceitful actions.

So, you appear comfortable with that.....actually it says more about You than anything

Oh, and I forgot the unbelivable saying the tape we all watched and heard on the bus where he bragged about grabbing, etc women, and to which he owned up to....is now..."maybe a fake"

So this erratic behavior and appearances of no touch with reality in the Oval Office does not concern you ?

Interesting....."my news source is better". I never said that, but it is interesting you mention that Rubicon does not supply links, or any kind of factual information. Few times I recall from months ago, it was a Russian website and once he used Alex Jones.

So...good question...if he ever cited where he gets his various conspiracies, we might tell.

Oh, speaking of "dumb asses"... do you and your gang EVER READ or just the comics ?

Well you inferred YOUR news source, YOUR opinion, is better. And yet, you never acknowledge that there are different versions of the news depending on what MSM channel you watch or read...wonder which is accurate.

While you rely on other people's OPINIONS (and then post them in bold and red), not everyone else struggles to come up with their own opinions...

Just to clarify; your the "dumb a$$" on here, just ask your wife. She probably drove you to the polling place so you could waste your vote.

Not sure where your going on this, but I don't read comics and do not watch animated movies or shows.

As for the reading; I don't wish to speak for others, but anything you took the time to bold and red font = I never read.

You need to do homework so you can speak with adults.

First, do some studying on the difference between news and commentary. The news gives you facts...The Who, what, etc. Commentary will allow for opinion, spin or whatever you might want to call it.

There is only ONE truth, it does not vary. Only variance is context, but the news is the news.

Trump actually lied when he said he turned down Man of the Year.

In his words on his twitter account. Now, the context is up for conversation.

If you check the alt right extremist sites, it is not his fault, OR they simply ignore it. Most normal people simply gaze in awe as to why he lies like that.

When I cut and paste, I supply my source, mostly news but at times opinion piece. Again, most normal human beings can tell the difference. I never refer to a commentary piece as news.

Rubicon gives nothing. He simply maligns the media as liars or whatever that day....maligns millions when he chooses one group, let's say progressives and simply blames them for anything,

But he never supplies back up for where he might have arrived at blaming these millions for what it is in that day.

Oh, I know you do not read. Your responses are clearly from someone who does not understand what he is talking about.

I have asked this question before of you and your cute little posse...if you don't read, then you truely are here only to troll ?

Listen, I have met others who resist reading and or learning..they are mostly like you...try to be cute, use shocking obscene language, mock others, have no respect for anyone or anything. Mostly, when adults are in the room, they are lost and confused.

Just wanted you to know I understand......find you to be a total loss.....but I understand.

I think the tweet by our President TO THE WORLD is significant......

"These are ominous words. Inside the U.S., CNN’s reporting is protected by the First Amendment and the courts. Outside of the country, U.S.-affiliated journalists do ultimately depend on the protection of the U.S. government. Trump’s tweet is a direct attack on those international journalists' freedom and even safety. Trump is inviting rogue regimes and other bad actors all over the world to harass CNN journalists—or worse. "

Trump's Sinister Attacks on CNN - The Atlantic

The attacks on our free press just continue

This man needs to be impeached.

31447. Great job buddy

From the same link.....this is a Trump move from his past

"Trump’s animus against CNN raises a searching and troubling question. What if the Department of Justice is doing the right thing for the wrong reason? Or what if the president’s personal determination to silence a critical media institution—or, worse, to force its sale to an ally like Rupert Murdoch—explains the sudden pivot in the Department’s antitrust philosophy?"

You follow Trump, you are required to hate CNN and the free press, but in the future this has terrible consequences.

Fox to become the government media ?

Your an idiot, not an adult. I am fully aware of the difference between facts and opinion...and news today has become the combination of the two. There is very little news that does not have commentary (opinion!) added to it. You need someone to steer you to a conclusion - idiot.

You lie too. Only difference is some little bitch is not whining about it. You have decided you don't like the NEWS that the alt right sites put out, no surprise, they are not critical of Trump enough I suppose.
Yes you have linked commentary as fact, you later said you did not originally include the link as you knew it was not a reputable source. Liar!
Just suck Rubi's cock and get over it.
You think you know I don't read...you don't like what I have to say, so I am a "Troll". You have nothing to say other than Trump bashing, your an idiot...
Listen, be honest with yourself, lets not lie. You are not rich (not talented enough, did not work hard enough, did not manage your money well, did not have any luck) and you have met very few people that want to interact with you. You think you are intelligent, you wish to impress others with your intelligence, but they are turned off by your desire to control the conversation, your desire to force them to agree with you. Your wife has as little to do with you as possible, and she demonstrates little interested in your opinions anymore.

I feel more sorry for you than the window licker, as you know you suck as a man, and he believes he is just a child.

Still waiting for you to show how the poor are less poor due to tax increases...

Rockhead is a very sick bitter excuse for a man. Like McCain and Ginsberg, will be long gone before Trumps re-election.

Reading the posts of ALLEGIANCE and DIRTBANKER sort of remind me a horror film.

You know the ones who never get it...who never know when they are in danger...but mostly because they are always the dumb ones...the ones who try and shock with obscenity and accusations, but never are quite able to even put a sentence together, especially one that makes sense or contains facts.

You two....ALLEGIANCE and DIRTBANKER are not only a menace to this forum, I would suppose, wherever you live as well. I sure hope you do not live in The Villages, or perhaps you have been featured in that other news sites where you live with your mother.

Whatever your situation is, keep in mind....

The use of obscenties does not make you an adult and if you are an adult, it simply makes you lame brained and weak minded

Looks like a nerve was struck and Rockface is unable to show us how the poor are less poor due to tax increases...he claims to be so educated and having high standards (a bit hypocritical with his lying and name calling).
