Further to our ongoing discussion of media credibility: It isn’t just right wing publications. The Washington Post Memory-Holed Kamala Harris' Bad Joke About Inmates Begging for Food and Water There is good and bad news in this. The bad news is that one of the most mainstream publications...

To be honest, the National Review means nothing today, at all. They were the archetypal Never Trumpers, until he won and the lot of them rolled over and became Maybe Trumpers. From there the progression was clear, to anti-anti-Trumpers to full-on Trumpalos. And on January 20th, surprise! -...

Here’s an example of what is more than enough to take an outlet off any list of trusted media: Along with the wave of bullshit about the elections being stolen, were some pretty specific accusations. They included lots of stuff about voting machines run by a companies called Smartmatic and...

If you want a real-world example, I’d suggest you pick a starting point where the facts are no longer really in dispute, and go from there. I can offer you an example if you like. I refer to the aforelinked piece about the outrageous use of force in clearing out protesters so a president could...

It’s not hard. I would suggest you choose your media the way you choose your groceries. Say, fruits and vegetables. You learn over time to trust some vendors. You learn with experience - sometimes the hard way - that some stores tend to sell fruits past their due date. While you might not...

Here is the thing. These people have cracked the code in a way. One of Steve Bannon’s key insights, was that too much is the same as too little. From the horse’s mouth: Bannon seems to view the Democrats less as the opposition party than figures of fun. “The Democrats don’t matter,” he had...

This is just so great. QAnon Woke Up the Real Deep State An open letter to QAnon, “stop the steal,” and other communities involved in the Capitol attack. The Deep State is real, but it’s not what you think. The Deep State you worry about is mostly made up; a fiction, a lie, a product of...

I did, thanks for the link btw. What I saw (and for the record, no background to analyze this beyond my own eyes) does not support what you are saying at all. The officer was covering the door with his gun. You see a rapid movement that is an evident response to something the officer saw. He is...

This. Takes a while but usually they respond, eventually.

Do it with any trusted agent (cough cough etc). DISCLAIMER: You know by now. (If you don’t, check my signature).

In unrelated news, and speaking of Scott Adams, the internet is an amazing place.

While I more than agree with the point in general, some exceptions are in order. Somebody like @camberiu, who does argue his points on a regular basis - dare I say well, even when I disagree - I am willing to listen to stuff they suggest is worth my time (=link) as well. Even if I find myself...

Agreed. We can agree, I imagine, both on the good intentions behind that move as well as that it backfired. Again agreed. One of the few positive things Trump may have accomplished is simply moving the Overton window in terms of how much he was willing to let the relationship with China...

I simply asked where you draw the line. As you noted, the US was not attacked in the European theater. So I asked you what made WWII defensible. We can certainly opine about whether a given war was ill-considered, or even most for that matter. But you don’t go into that level of detail. You say...

I skimmed over rather than read the article you linked, firstly because Ms. Johnstone has always struck me as slightly unhinged at least, and secondly because I do not dispute the premise that Biden is not at all a Chinese puppet. I am not sure what is your point there. It is indisputable that...

Curious as to what shape would a government that you support have. What part of Biden’s Cabinet picks offend you? What policies are what you consider “the great racketeering scheme”? Is just foreign policy? Do I understand that any US engagement abroad is a racket? Were American lives on the...

It did hit 80 million. The final count is more than 80M for Biden.

At the risk of sounding brusque, I am not interested in “another point of view”. I gave you mine - actually written, rather than just links to others’ crap - and you are free to respond or ignore. Just flooding the zone with shit will not cut it. Too Trumpy. Particularly when the “other point...

Here is the deal with Russiagate. I hesitate to write about this because I do not want the focus shifted to this. The overarching issue with Russia is the circumstantial evidence. There is just too much smoke - undisputable smoke - for there not to be fire. Here is what is not in dispute...

Arguing, essentially, that Gov Kemp (R-GA) took massive bribes to let Dominion rig Georgia's ballot tabulators using hack technology provided by the CIA to Hugo Chavez of Venezuela, and that's only one part of a conspiracy involving "many thousands", including Barr's DOJ. My take is that is not...
