It seems to be more of a case of word association than a conscious......... -- Chuck Taylor 01/07/2019 1:00PM

So you prefer Chuck's post/lack of merit? ** -- Hoodafan 01/07/2019 1:06PM

Chuck responded directly to Faz's post. Which was about media -- 111Balz 01/07/2019 1:23PM

Or dismissed it for "lack of merit" so as not to let it pierce the bubble. ** -- Hoodafan 01/07/2019 1:31PM

Do you know what "lack of merit means? Did you read his post to -- 111Balz 01/07/2019 1:35PM

I didn't think so. Be sure to add another childish "yawn" for good measure -- WahooRQ 01/07/2019 2:09PM

Yep, Chuck is one of my favorites. -- Chuck Taylor 01/07/2019 1:22PM

Stupid deflection followed by ignorant response. That's you in a nutshell ** -- 111Balz 01/07/2019 12:41PM

In a nutshell its about nostalgia IMO. -- hoolstoptheheels 01/07/2019 10:20AM

Umm... Fox creates narratives and poses as news. They know -- HoosWillWin 01/07/2019 11:38AM

They invented reporting on what their own bozo talking heads were ranting -- WahooRQ 01/07/2019 11:40AM

But you can see a pretty clear simple pattern, can't you? -- hoolstoptheheels 01/07/2019 11:56AM

The difference is, they actually do it. Deliberately. I don't think there -- WahooRQ 01/07/2019 12:01PM

I think there is a difference. Rachel Maddow is completely partisan. -- HoosWillWin 01/07/2019 11:59AM

You and RQ may have me at a disadvantage, because I just don't watch -- hoolstoptheheels 01/07/2019 1:26PM

Their various tactics have been known and written about for a long time. -- WahooRQ 01/07/2019 1:49PM

I get it. However, the difference is blatant lying versus spin. I condemn -- HoosWillWin 01/07/2019 1:32PM

Largely agree, although I don't think Faux News and the WaPo are even -- WahooRQ 01/07/2019 11:11AM

I once had more of less your view of FOX. Which I do think comes down to -- hoolstoptheheels 01/07/2019 11:23AM

You conveniently ignore one important fact. -- ResistHoo 01/07/2019 11:59AM

Sure, but alternative facts are not facts. My problem with Fox isn't that -- WahooRQ 01/07/2019 11:29AM

Yeah, probably. I wasn't there obviously but when something becomes -- hoolstoptheheels 01/07/2019 10:11AM

You dodged my question. My point is people believe all sorts of stuff -- HokieDan95 01/07/2019 11:00AM

I didn't mean to dodge it. In fact I largely agree with that. -- hoolstoptheheels 01/07/2019 11:28AM

How do you define neutral? Often the objective truth is NOT neutral -- 111Balz 01/07/2019 09:26AM

I would define it as neutral when the reader cannot determine the political -- Tuckahokie 01/07/2019 09:30AM
