The News Thread

And you're a bullshit echo-chamber sometimes. I don't watch Jimmy Dore because he's a fucking asshat with a youtube channel, a Dennis Miller wannabe. He cites retracted news stories as "evidence." I couldn't care less about what he has to say, and it's pathetic that we treat this as news.

I assume the articles about "missing" ballots refer to this. FiveThirtyEight has also gone through the fallacies here.

Try reading instead of watching idiots playing to the maga crowd.

Medical examiner says there were no signs of physical trauma on Floyd's neck.
so what? I can choke you to death without causing any trauma or injury to your neck. Means nothing here.

Additionally, it has just been discovered that Floyd was a (hetero) porn actor at one point in his life.
again, so what?

Cute, but he's not playing to the MAGA crowd, his beef with social media censorship goes all the way back to when he hosted The Aggressive Progressives on The Young Turks. He's covering the story in that context.

You don't have to watch the video, I only vaguely keep up with Dore myself, but making claims about him/the video without knowing what the fuck you're talking about is stupid, and then you have the audacity to tell me to read? lmfao you really are a fart-huffing piece of shit sometimes.

And as usual you didn't address anything I said other than that I pointed out you didn't watch the video itself, like the major disagreement here is whether you should or shouldn't watch someone, like I care what your faggot ass watches at all.

Fine, I didn't watch the fucking video. I don't think I have to; if he's talking about something other than what I linked to, tell me and I'll feel really fucking bad about it.

You don't have to, never said you did. Just rewatched it, he does show the 28 million one and some other article from NYT. That's not even the main point in the video though, it's about Trump's executive order to remove legal protections from social media sites. It's also about the selective "fact checking" and it's also about how Twitter's "fact check" got actually fact checked afterwards and they had to correct themselves and then Jack had to go on a Tweet tangent defending his site and his staff.

Anyways, I hope Trump does it.
 
People think Dore plays to the MAGA crowd simply because unlike the scum in the MSM he doesn't dehumanize them on a daily basis, that's all it is. If your material isn't a constant stream of TDS it means you're a closet Trumpster or opportunistically chasing MAGA views.

I hope Twitter and others keep fact-checking the fuck out of him. He's a lying piece of shit. If the MSM is biased, Trump's biased to precisely the same degree, in the opposite direction. All social media is doing is giving its users the full spectrum of perspective.

ooof, you got me!

I've used that "new word" at least a dozen times in this very thread in response to you throughout the years.

I know. It's making me think you don't know any other words. It's also funny that the real irony is you thinking you're the smart one here.

funniest part here is that Dore actually spends a lot of time ripping up the MAGA crowd too. :lol: Ein just doing what he does best ...

Pointing out your stupidity?

I don't give a shit about fact checking, even though this exact example proves they shouldn't be the arbiters of what is or isn't a fact, but they let #Russiagate roll out unchecked, and so if they're going to prove they're essentially political activists they should be open to lawsuits. That's the overall point here.

Linking to CNN for a fact check is also hilarious.

Yeah, that's right. Whiny little idiot bitch.

Trump's comments are way easier to fact-check than the virtual corridors of Russian influence, whatever its extent. Furthermore, Trump's the president--and he regularly lies and/or spouts ill-founded claims on social media. I doubt anything Twitter does is going to affect his fan base (other than get them even harder for his idiocy), but I'm happy that it pisses him off.

Petty victories please small minds I guess. I'm more interested in dealing with the mega-corporations who are essentially in control of the modern means with which freedom of speech is expressed. The same corps that gave the MSM free passes on spreading nonstop misinformation, lies and conspiracy theories.

again, so what?

The current implication from the examiner seems to be that the knee on the neck had little to do with his death, and that he had other health issues and drug issues that were a factor.

The second bit was just funny.

FiveThirtyEight has also gone through the fallacies here.

Trump's "false" claim was simply to say that mail voting fraud exists. If that is worthy of a Twitter-endorsed fact check, then every Black Twitter retard (+allies) talking about disproportionate anti-black violence by whites needs to be fact checked as well.
