They were the only news outlet discussion voters being purged off voter rolls in 2016. And as was posted before, Amy Goodman has won many accolades for her reporting. Democracy Now is leftist, but from my experience listening to them and reading their work they do not lie or misrepresent the facts. Do yourself a favor and check their content out before you tell others not listen to them. At least say why with actual facts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think people's posting history in this thread illustrates quite well who have some degree of intellectual honesty. I've seen many people on here correct themselves or admit mistakes when faced with new information. I see waaaaaay more evidence of self-correction from non-gop media sources and media consumers. This smells like more false equivalency bull**** to be honest. I see Dem. Now posts every now and then on facebook and I've yet to see any even approaching the level of Alex Jones' nonsense. Fam, this is what he does. He also thinks he is the smartest guy in each thread he is in. He will continue on that. 10 minutes ago, tshile said: Nonniey has a pretty good history of decent conversation and willingness to concede a point when someone shows he's wrong. You? I actually do agree that nonniey does that. Problem is he is not doing it here. And when I am wrong, I admit to being wrong. I have done that a lot on this forum. You chose to ignore that to... lie, which you is coincidentally what you are defending @nonniey doing now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said they did a bunch of Koch brothers conspiracies in podcasts. Certainly seems like the main point to me. Seems odd you'd come down so hard on that when you don't even listen to them, but whatever. It's not my fight to fight.

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo... woooo What's your ****ing point with that post? Democracy Now does not equal Info Wars. To say it does is patently false. To say something is equal when it is not, is a false equivalency. You seem like a smart dude sometimes, but you kill your credibility with your emotional reactions to things.

You seem like a nut. hell i think twa is smarter than me. he just refuses to put any effort into his posts and just likes screwing with everyone. which maybe is argument for him being smarter than me.... 3 minutes ago, Fresh8686 said: You seem like a smart dude sometimes, but you kill your credibility with your emotional reactions to things.

Yes, I see the emotion behind your over-exertions Maybe you might want to think about what you just wrote above. Why do you think false equivalency accusations get thrown around so much? What percentage of the time on this board is such an accusation warranted? Is it warranted 90% of the time? 80%? 60%? If it is warranted the majority of the time, why is it funny to you that people keep getting bothered by it and have to call it out? Why is that your first emotional reaction? Do you think that's healthy? Do you think you enjoy the whole "messing with the libs" thing yourself? Maybe to the point that it supercedes an inherent interest in intellectual honesty?

HOF44 Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 I love it, to me tshile is pretty much middle america in a lot of positions. Just a very slight right sway. I've seen him on this board be portrayed as a right wing nutter and on other boards we were on he was labeled a bleeding heart left winger. I won't pretend to compare intelligence. I just think the juxtaposition is informing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
