Is there a new standard?

It turns out that if the MODS are going to start fact checking people, they ought to have their shit squared away.

The woman in that video is Chivona Renée Newsome. She is a community leader, activist, and co-founder of Black Lives Matter Greater New York, running as a Democratic candidate for Congress in New York’s 15th Congressional District (#NY15) in the Bronx. She is a lifelong resident of the Bronx, born and raised.

I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure you need to be a member of the party to run as a party member.

So in fact, the woman in the video IS a democrat.

And BioMed owes HoHund an apology.

For what. This is what Biomed1 wrote that’s relevant. You highlighted it yourself.

“No proof or documentation that anyone in the Video clip is a Democrat, nor have you provided any proof that Democrats wish to Riot, Loot or Burn.”

From what I can see the video shows neither political party nor the desire to riot loot or burn.

Again the thread is designed specifically to project outrage and grievance. Not to inform or debate. What about this is hard to understand? It’s Straight up Troll Bait.

Where is your proof that they are not. If the Mods are fact checking conservatives, they should be fact checking liberals as well. The woman says her name its easy see who she is and 30 seconds on goolge would have provided the evidence that the woman is INDEED a Democrat.

Perhaps you can show me in the guidelines where a post must present evidence of the assertions? Because I have a long list of posts by the folks I keep blocked that lack evidence for their assertions.

Seriously?
What qualifies as fact checking?

You missed the debates?

The standards aren't that high in this forum. They are not that complicated to understand except for the trolls who constantly start mindless threads to push their silly ass anti Dem agenda. And I'd also post the same thing if some goofball was constantly starting mindless threads to push their anti-Republican agenda, but nobody does that in here, so it is a moot point.

[Jacuzzme]

Is that a joke? Anti-Trump/republican threads are common.

Ignored them
There's always the day after reverse spin when they realize they got caught. After all are these not politicians?

[Jacuzzme]

Well, here’s a synopsis then. The Republican candidate says something true and mods interrupt to say it wasn’t, even though it was.

It’s not up to the moderator to decipher, decode or investigate the facts or evidence of the original post. They must take the necessary moderation based upon the evidence presented. You claim that this is bias on the part of the moderator when in reality it’s the fault of the OP for not creating a thread that fits the purpose of the forum.

In this case the thread didn’t provide evidence of the political affiliation of the speaker. It used inflammatory rhetoric designed to provoke anger and grievance. It was a troll posting from a troll poster.

... Kinda agree with Tx-dot here... I've not seen much - if any -
"political bias" shown by Biomed1, ... And WHY do "trolling threads"
have to be political? ... Maybe Biomed1 was just trying to
issue a warning in-advance.

But, with most things - the Standard IS the Standard.
