    unlike you I don't consume news and define it....I process it and make my own conclusion based on things I value...you are a scrapbook guy...polls, charts, graphs, etc.....mountains of paper are often not worth one good conscious gut feeling most of the time. Choices

    This is literally the dumbest shit ever.

    1. I didn't click the link nor do I know WTF it's about.
    2. YOU posted the link to prove whatever narrative it supports of yours.
    3. I say hey, I thought CNN was fake news to you. :dunno:
    4. You and others here say I'm being a hypocrite even though I haven't posted or asserted anything that the link is supposed to support...

    LITERALLY DUMBEST SHIT EVER.

    Y'all are supposed to be smart...

    Haven't seen the video but looking at the still shot those are 2 different people dressed in black. Looks like someone's trying to convince conspiracy theory nuts into believing CNN is fake news.

    I don't think the still is even in the video. I didn't watch it all. The first part is the same shit Denny linked. After that it shows multiple local news channels doing the same pre written fluff pieces. That isn't even a big deal but I didn't realize how much they do it nationwide.

    The local news is like fastfood.

    You can't even recap the issue correctly. Do you actually work for CNN?

    When you're losing an argument this bad I suppose it makes sense to reinterpret what the argument was about.

    The entire thing is in your own words. You say Denny (a Trump supporter lol) can't use CNN as a source because he called it fake news.

    That's the entire thing. You're wrong about the original issue and you've reworded your argument to try and help you.

    The hypocritical part is believing CNN to be trustworthy and still attacking the source. If Denny linked a Breitbart article that said the exact same thing verbatim you'd attack the source.

    That's the part I added for you. It is like a kid arguing with his mom about brushing his teeth because she complained about a dentist in the past.

    BUT MOMMY! YOU SAID DENTISTS ARE RIPOFFS!!!!!

    LOL

    My links are meant to stipulate that sources you trust are satisfactory for my arguments.

    It's basic rhetoric principles and logic 101.

    Haha.

    You say you don't consume news and define it, blah blah blah.

    Yet you don't see CNN anchors outright calling Trump names and think it's not spin?

    Unbelievable.

    Your blindness to the spin is incredible in the sense of lacking any credibility.

    People can argue. I'm being honest here. I read the Denny is a Trump supporter bullshit here and I just can't believe it.

    It is just like the new fashion of saying anyone that doesn't want to sucker punch a Nazi must be a Nazi.

    Trump isn't Mother Theresa man. I just shake my head at some of the stuff he says.

    Mocking the disabled reporter for instance.

    If Trump didn't like the guy for whatever reason and said "I don't like this guy, he's an asshole" I'd be fine with that.

    You can't do what he did and get elected.

    Unless the DNC rigs the primary to screw Bernie. Then you can get elected. And he did.

    Crying about us electing a pussy grabber every day after it happens is getting old.

    Denny is just being pragmatic. The unhinged left is trying to find every loophole they can to get Trump out. It is unbelievable.

    We have to go forward at some point. 3 more years of this will be unbearable.

    The Obama years were some of the happiest for me. Never hurt for money because people still had to drive and I ignored a lot of political shit because it was just whiny partisan crap.

    I really need to go back to the ignoring political stuff.

    yes....the bliss of living away from TV......you connect TV spin to S2 so it leaks through here even if I don't look for it....I'm not selling anything here...you're selling spin....I'm complaining about the president...you argue with TV spin....I haven't watched CNN for over 20 years....I read newspapers though..and anything on the net that interests me...still....I'm not buying the Trump line....if you don't see him for what he is....could be you just watch way too much TV

    Your rhetoric is exactly the same as CNN's. Full of hate and rage and mostly without fact.

    If your influence is not 1 degree of separation, it's no more than 2.

    I don't....I'm not that interested in dissecting the world of the media or the world of team politics...I'm an independent....more conservative than you'd like to think but not liking or trusting Trump makes someone like me, in your view....part of an unhinged far left revolutionary conspiracy...this is the problem with you guys...I've said over and over that I talk about Trump and then a Trumpette talks about me here..usually leading with insult...it's gone on for a long time.

    Legit question--are there any sources that Denny could cite that you wouldn't either:
    1. Dismiss as conservatively-biased and therefore untrustworthy, or;
    2. Say Denny can't cite because he's previously ridiculed them as liberally-biased?
    Seems that since most news sources are considered slanted one way or the other, this line of thinking basically eliminates use of outside sources to support a claim.

    This is exactly why I call the fake news tag Trump created a cheap distraction ...and a poor defense. Fact is americans can be their own source of discontent or loyalty...it's a matter of trust...and there's not a lot of that around the White House these days...I've mentioned many times that our founding fathers in this country didn't create our country by gathering sources...they sat together and talked and wrote shit down....now it seems without carrying a library to the pub, you can't have an opinion.
