I believe it.

But white men. We're all the problem and have to pay for the sins of those honkies that honked before us. :roll:

Anecdotal at best, but when I venture into a fast food place staffed by black employees I definitely notice they give black customers a VERY hard time. :nod:

I wonder how many times they’ve Photoshopped a cover for political effect before?

Time used to be a decent rag back in the day. It’s a shame they’ve fallen to such tabloid-style lows.

Haven’t even started. Hell, I’m even teleworking until noon tomorrow.

But we’ll be sleeping just outside of Pittsburgh tomorrow night, one way or another.

'I've spoken of the Shining City all my political life. …In my mind it was a tall, proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, windswept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace; a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity. And if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here. That's how I saw it, and see it still.'"[2]

I can't even see myself leaving Louisiana because that's where I like living. MAYBE I could be convinced to move to St. Simons Island Georgia because I like it there. But I have NO desire to move to another country.

Of course I am not in economic distress. I'm not rich but I make a six figure salary and could retire right now if necessary. Louisiana is a low cost of living State too so no issue there. The fishing in Louisiana is as good as it gets. It's got the culture I grew up in and am comfortable in. I've got my grandkids a couple of miles down the road. There is no reason for me to want to move anywhere.

The problem with that for me is that, while I don't know about the New York Times, I watched CNN and know that they did put Trump's "Animals" comment into the context of his reference to MS-13. So to me he's kind of setting up a false premise at least with respect to CNN.

Any of the major networks would be well served to give him a 30 minute nightly block. But they won't do it, and he probably wouldnt accept anyway

CNN didn't correct the narrative until two days after it happened. Initially, Don Lemon, the silver-haired fag and their guests promoted the false narrative that Trump referred to all brown folks as animals.

A little girl shown in a viral photo crying as a U.S. Border Patrol agent detained her mother – and used by TIME magazine to symbolize the Trump administration's family separation policy – reportedly was never separated from her mom.

“Welcome to America,” declared a somber TIME cover, which showed the picture of the Honduran child Yanela Sanchez next to a towering President Trump.

TIME called it “an image America could not ignore” and interviewed the photographer, as did other outlets. TIME followed up with another article entirely about the cover and “the story behind” it.

Using Fox News ^ as your source :lol: is pretty awesome
As they were busted two weeks ago using images of Eagle players praying after a game
and captioned it as them "protesting" before a game

We have truly hit the bottom

Yes. When the source is more note worthy than the story, we have hit bottom.

Both Time Magazine and Fox News have some credible news stories
but can we really trust either of them..?

Their over riding predisposition for one side of the isle makes for questionable ethics

Perhaps, but he’s not the only liberal criticizing the NYT and establishment media for their sensationalism and getting things wrong. You hear it from Jimmy Dore, Rogan, etc.


Harris, Jordan Peterson, and to a lesser extent Brett Weinstein are the current darlings of the podcast circuit and I enjoy listening to them all. They’re especially popular with the alt right/libertarian crowd in their crusade against SJW’s.

I’m just waiting for some of Sam’s liberal ideas to come out. :geek:
