Wow! Why so much hate?
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Probably because he's a womanizer who thinks women are only good for being sexualized objects on camera and a piece of ass. Oh, let's not forget that wholesale misrepresentation and lying about everything is somehow called "reporting the news".

Let's give credit where credit is due: He's the S O B that brought fake news mainstream.

Oh, I'm not saying CNN is innocent. All the news outlets put their own spin on everything. Faux News sets the standard for "Fact checking? What's that?" by telling the truth about 3% to 22% of the time, depending on the study. MSNBC is nearly as bad. CNN actually gets sh*t right about 40 to 50% of the time.
No, I don't get my information and news from any single source. I try to get the news from multiple sources and do my own research and fact checking.

Interesting about the statistics on Fact Checking. Can you point me to that study. I'd be interested in reading that.

The PunditFact rating isn't really that good of an indicator, mainly because they don't fact check every statement made. Their limited resource force them to check only a handful of statements made by network. And those generally are the ones someone wrote in and requested they check -- with those being the one that sounded the most screwy.
So, if one network said 100 crazy things and 25 of them turn out to be true, or they better or worse than another network which said only 4 crazy thing, but all were false?
Further, that site is reporting on what the networks pundits say. If you are going to declare a network as "fake news" you have to go but what their news anchors say.
Truth,
James

In that case, let's bury all of the media.

I would prefer burning down every journalism class room and rebuilding from scratch with a heavy emphasis on research and ethics.

Yeah, back in the day it seemed that ~85% of news was fact based reporting (ie. this is what has happened) and the remainder was opinion based editorials (ie. this is what we / I think about what happened).
Now days the percentages have flip flopped.

Quote: 4. No politics
Please keep politics out of the Lounge.
«When I consider my brief span of life, swallowed up in an eternity before and after, the little space I fill, and even can see, engulfed in the infinite immensity of spaces of which I am ignorant, and which know me not, I am frightened, and am astonished at being here rather than there; for there is no reason why here rather than there, now rather than then.» Blaise Pascal

Yeah, heaven forbid there should be a different point of view presented to the public.
The left only wants to silence opposition rather than debate it in the arena of ideas.

The right has dominated the media for years. They use it to whine about how the left is dominating it.
But Faux News (note the title) presented little to no actual news, but rather, vitriolic propaganda.
Repeated over and over and over and over. Facts? Proof? Well - they're not presenting news so they're not held to that standard. They just present their sh^t as news.

And as for that concept, who's campaign rallies beat, kicked, abused, and called for further injury to those who disagreed? I'll give you a hint: "He" offered to pay legal defense costs for those who beat up dissenters.
So drop the crap you hear and regurgitate. Look at what really has happened and is happening. A very left wing idea? Then I pity the right.

That's just simple denial of reality.

Any point of view that you don't agree with is propaganda. I see how this game is played now.

I guess you missed the revelation that it was Hillary's campaign that PAID these "people" to riot at Trump rallies! The left always riots when they don't get their way. You NEVER see conservatives riot.

Why don't you connect to reality? Talk show radio is nearly 100% dominated by you right-wing fanatics. Faux News has the largest veiwship. Or do yo just continue to ignore those fact and choose your alternate facts?

Instead of spouting crap - why not look it up! Which of Faux's (or better Fool's) News shows are actually news and not opinion? Or don't you care? There is a difference. Really!
Richard Andrew x64 wrote: I guess you missed the revelation that it was Hillary's campaign that PAID these "people" to riot at Trump rallies!
And it was Hillary's campaign that put the words in that orange monkey's mouth that he'd pay there legal fees? They make up whatever they want - and know you'll swallow it. Still do - he's lied almost continuously before and since the election and inauguration. Or do you just listen to his childish whining and believe him?
And - tell me - what would you have said if it was Hillary Clinton who disclosed those highest level secrets to the Russians? Don't bother replying until you can answer this. Why your president cannot be trusted with the nations secrets. And look up what he said about those kind of people.
Or, continue in your alternate bizarro universe.

Dan Stevens - Evermore (From "Beauty and the Beast")[^]
Saw the new Disney movie last week.
One of my favorite Disney animations and the songs are great 
I still prefer the original songs, but this new song is great.
I've never seen the musical, but I wouldn't be surprised if this was in it.
If you like Disney and musicals this may be for you

When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others.
