Agreed as far as I am concerned, but we are now relegated to being on our best "Tea with the Queen of England" behavior regardless of how true the post may be.

Almost all media outlets will (regardless of political views) distort a story to their editorial whim. I don't recall many reporters ACTUALLY reporting the truth since Walter Cronkite retired. One reporter that I admired and absolutely respected was a Southern California reporter for KTTV, now part of FOX, by the name of George Putnam. He reported the news AS THE NEWS. He totally separated his opinion of any news he reported on a segment known as "This Reporter's Opinion". News was news and opinion was opinion. AS IT SHOULD BE!!!

You probably better go back and read some of my posts in here about derogatory racial terms...

No Jews I know use that term in any context. In fact, nobody I knew in all my years growing up in Texas — Jews or Gentile— used that term. My parents didn’t use that term. My rabbi never used that term. I don’t care what links you pull off of your Google search.

There is no such thing as “a goyim.” Your research also should reveal that.

I don’t know why you chose to turn this into an argument. Consider it more of an education in the cultures of your fellow Americans.

The term was commonly used in classical literature. Merriam Webster makes it abundantly clear that "intent" is indeed necessary to distinguish between its use as a term to merely describe a Jewish female or its use as an insult, because as stipulated in Merriam Webster, the term is only an insult "sometimes" thus dependent on the intent of the user to make it so.

Further, I plead ignorance in not knowing that that term could ever be meant as an "insult". I did not look it up before using it here, because I am familiar with its use conveying the more common and socially accepted definition listed in Merriam Webster: a Jewish female. With that said, I won't be using the term again. It was never my intent to insult or denigrate Zina Bash: only her detractors. And that "intent" is manifestly obvious within the context of my post wherein I employed the word.

In the words of Eli Wiesel, "Never Forget!"

if the term is used by a Jew, its ok in certain context. if used by a goyim/gentile, its offensive.

Hey man, GOY means Non-Jew. GOYIM is the plural of that.

Now you have yourself a nice day. Go bait a hook, amigo. Maybe you’ll catch a fish.

You're a funny guy.

You of all people saying something is biased.

It's simple. Post some links that prove untoward bias (not just in your opinion) on politifact. You say they're biased. I say show me a link that shows me an example of your claim. You go quiet....about proving your claim that is.

ABC, NBC and CBS have all been caught editing their videos and audios; so, they can in no manner be called "factual" and "unbiased" reporters of the news. The fact-checkers at Politico and WaPo are similarly biased. It is not that what they say is wrong, but rather they often refuse to do analyses that would show certain liberals (e.g., hildebeest) in a bad light. Huffy is at least as biased as Fox and the Daily Mail; so, so it's obvious whoever created this graphic also has a liberal bent.

Maybe because he couldn’t hide the truth.

Those links were posted for your edification several months ago. Since you were unable to read and understand them the first time around, one can only imagine why you failed to grasp what was communicated to you at that time; thus, reposting them again would be as pointless as making more Kavanaugh documents available to SEN Harris and SEN Booker.

Did Nixon ever complain of media bias?

I'd add Al Jazeera near the middle--they are not, really, but they seem to be very conservative at times, somewhat liberal at times.

I'm not at all surprised that the votes are as they are--everyone usually believes they themselves are dead center, so of course more here will think the display is leaning left.


I don't know where to really put Infowars--they can be just plain WEIRD a lot of the time.

Al Jazeeera ? Aren't they the one's who ROYALLY SCREWED " Internet Al Gore, Mr. Global Warming hisself out of a few quid on a media deal ? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
