Trump / FBI / Russians

Also Jay, how do you fix it? Are you going to legislate that TV needs to be more fair for the right?

 

I admit it was a bit long, but I did my best to break it down for you into itty bitty chunks.

Obviously you have comprehension problems, or some type of attention deficit disorder. I promise to dumb it down for you next time.

and to answer your irrelevant question, I personally really don't care about the shutdown. It doesn't affect me in the least.

does it affect you?

 

Funny, dude. The facts that I'm throwing out are what is known as anecdotal evidence and empirical evidence, which are types of direct evidence.

it is actually the media who is peddling conjecture.

Again, if you don't believe me, go pay a visit to any of the immigration enforcement agencies in Florida. Ask any agent or officer about the numbers being bandied about in public, and if they are agreement.

Would their combined years of experience convince you that maybe you've been misled for decades?

get back with me on that.

 

It was just a question. Using that logic is a slippery slope imo. You talk to any group with a vested interest and you aren't likely to get an objective answer. You think border agents are going to say everything is fine even if it was? Wouldn't bode well for their employment future would it? (I'm not saying it is, just making a point.)

For the best view you use the "micro" view of the agents on the ground and the "macro" view of statistics across the board. imho.

 

I respectfully disagree.

If you actually search, you'd find that some media outlets that provide news without leading words and language to sway readers actually exist. Al-Jazeera, believe it or not, is one of them.

When I attended a counterintelligence class, the instructor stated that if America wanted a true and unbiased media source, they would be better served to find a foreign news agency. I have found his statement to be mostly correct.

Unfortunately, the biggest problem is that a certain portion of Americans fail to recognize that their choices of mainstream media have become exactly like the one that they despise...Fox.

i watched Fox until they backed Dubya and his cooked intelligence to justify invading Iraq. I saw that we were being lied to, and I quit them like a bad habit.

It didn't take long to recognize that the other available news sources were protecting some questionable actions by their choice of politics.

And it's gotten much worse. The failure to recognize that the networks, along with the cable news outlets, have become Fox-like in their endeavors to push their narratives.

But, it all comes down to money. Trash sells.

 

so are you saying that you may be less inclined to believe boots on the ground, as opposed to journalists who regurgitate only what is being spoon fed to them, and only report on that which feeds their narratives? Because boots on the ground might be biased because they are too close to the actual source of information?

i can understand critical thinking, but this kinda flies in the face of logic

 

When I say statistics I meant like the graph posed by Sig from US Border and Customs. I'm not sure where I implied relying on journalists.

 

No legislation. Nice try on the gotcha moment Kyle. As well as your “capitalism” post...leading points to try get me in some sort of philosophical trap...

Just talking about the messages the little groms are watching on TV...thought control, even through cartoons. Who would have thought, geez!

 

Kyle normally argues with the hostess at his Applebee’s and sometimes the regular drunk.

 

No gotcha about it. If you believe it is such a problem then how do you fix it?

Also no gotcha about capitalism. TV Networks are trying to sells ad, even news ones. The majority of Americans want their own opinion regurgitated back at them when they watch the news, no? I think so and this is why you see a much more liberal slant to a lot of news outlets. This has been a profitable model for them so why change. It has only gotten so much worse and more obvious in the past 2 decades because TV news is dying. The TV news networks are getting more ridiculous because more and more they are having to play to the extremes of each base now, that's all that is left as more and more of people are realizing if you want better quality, the internet is a much better option (though you do still have to dig thru a lot of crap, the ceiling on quality is much higher online.)

How about people do some parenting instead of blaming it on the evil cartoons

 

God forbid there be a contrarian around here, wouldn't want anyone to interrupt the circle jerk

 

My bad, I'll get out of here and let you guys resume normal operations

 

Slight change of topic, but since this guy has been featured in this treade before by sheeple who think he's the next coming of Henry Ford, Check & Chong & Mahatma Gandhi wrapped into one svelte package, the evidence is mounting He's not.

Looks like ol' Elon is on a rocket ride to Fail. When this guy finally does go into full implosion mode, it will be worse than one of his rockets saying bye-bye...

Elon Musk’s SpaceX plans to reduce its workforce by 10%, or roughly 600 employees, even as the company seeks to ramp up ambitious projects to develop a super-powerful rocket and deploy thousands of advanced satellites.

The move, believed to be the most significant cutback since SpaceX gained international prominence about a decade ago, is the latest sign of major strategic and technical challenges roiling the closely held Southern California company.

Buoyed by a hefty backlog of commercial and government launches, the company in recent years racked up a string of historic space-transportation accomplishments even as Mr. Musk and his management team identified still-more-difficult and expensive goals: sending large spacecraft to Mars and launching more than 11,000 small satellites to provide global internet connections.

Each of those efforts promise to dwarf SpaceX’s current business, but Mr. Musk has never spelled out how he planned to pay for development, testing and manufacturing costs. His deep-space exploration endeavors currently don’t have any obvious commercial market.

 

When a company cuts people from payroll, it's always a red flag that things are very not ok with cash flow. First thing that gets slashed by a company in financial trouble are humans - - cause by doing so it's an immediate relief to the firm's bottom line.

But it's almost always a temp fix on the highway to corporate hell
