Bear Pit: now the sole domicile of politics at LuLa

[TechTalk]

The media was only interested in smearing Trump...

Here we go again with "The media", like there's only one "media"... you know them... THE Media!

The were a lot of smears but no evidence at all.

What a load of crap. The only way to believe that is with a large and unhealthy supply of blindfolds and earplugs.

It is a complete waste of time to go round and round in circles supplying any evidence or facts when they've already been shown time, and time, and time again with no more effect than a rubber ball bouncing off a brick wall. You will always receive the same predictable and repetitious response from both walls.

Yet you or many like you still believe Trump conspired with the Russians.

How many others, specifically.

Never mind the others.  Do you still believe he conspired with the Russkies?

[digitaldog]

Never mind the others.  Do you still believe he conspired with the Russkies?

I have no idea because unlike you, I form my understandings and thus opinions on facts and data. I've never, repeat never said here or anywhere that he conspired with the so called Russkies!
Now back to the last question I asked you that you deflected to assume* something I don't believe:
How many specifically?

Oh, I thought I was responding to Tech, not you.  My error. We have nothing to discuss.  Have a nice day.

So many, so often, so transparent.

Naturally you can provide us all the URL where TechTalk wrote that he believes he (Trump) conspired with the Russians/Russkies.

Meanwhile, in the nutty world of right-wing "news", comes this false gem of a news story that Nancy Pelosi is buying a mansion in Florida for $25 million. Completely false, but that didn't stop it from making the usual rounds from fringe right-wing tweets and websites to mainstream conservative news.

Great story.  Well worth the five minutes it takes to follow the breadcrumb trail.

The left doesn't have a monopoly on fake news. They're just better at it.

The left doesn't have a monopoly on fake news. They're just better at it.

Let me understand you. Are you implying that the story about Pelosi buying that house in Florida is true?

[PeterAit]

   The media ignore it totally they're so corrupt.

If the media "ignore it totally" how come it's in the Post?

Here's an article which clearly illustrates how that mechanism works...

Conservative Media Makes Up a Fake Florida Mansion for Nancy Pelosi

Anatomy of a viral lie.

And then there's the right-wing media kerfuffle over Kamala Harris buying an expensive pan for her kitchen. At least that story was true!

Yes and my comment was: The left doesn't have a monopoly on fake news. They're just better at it.

It seems both Cuomo boys are now unemployed.

CNN suspends Chris Cuomo indefinitely
CNN is suspending prime time anchor Chris Cuomo "indefinitely, pending further evaluation," after new documents revealed the cozy and improper nature of his relationship with aides to his brother, former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

The benched anchorman is declining to comment.

A second hour of "Anderson Cooper 360" will air in Cuomo's place on Tuesday night.

Tuesday's announcement about the suspension was the equivalent of a cable news shockwave. Cuomo's 9 p.m. program is frequently CNN's most-watched hour of the day. He is a larger-than-life presence at the network. And he was determined to stay on TV this year despite a flurry of sexual misconduct allegations against his brother, which culminated in the governor's resignation three months ago.

But new documents released on Monday showed that the veteran journalist was more intimately involved than previously known in shaping his brother's defense.

Indeed, a real news organization that has scruples and standards. You should watch it. That is if your confirmation bias doesn't get in the way. 

Meanwhile, over on the channel the right loves (until Trump trashes it more), Fox "News", its top fabulist Tucker admits he lies (another tactic seen so often on your side).

https://www.theguardian.com/media/2021/sep/14/fox-news-host-tucker-carlson-i-lie

Fox News host Tucker Carlson tells interviewer: ‘I lie’
The cable news personality also defended people who buy fake proof of vaccination against Covid-19

And the response from Fox "News" to this? Crickets.
That CNN did the right thing was missed by at least one recent poster here.

It seems both Cuomo boys are now unemployed.

Love to know if you were ever employed and for what purpose/task. Seems you don't want to tell us. Or where TechTalk wrote that he believes he (Trump) conspired with the Russians/Russkies. That will also never be uncovered by you.

And only on Fox "News", host Lara Logan making a comparison between Nazi doctor Josef Mengele and Dr. Anthony Fauci.
