    That's because you and most others in here have ill-conceived, preconceived notions about liberals. The majority of us are religious. What are you even talking about? Most black people are liberals right? Most black people are Christian too. Lots of liberals are pro-life but we define it differently than they do. The law pro lifers want against abortion would simply create situations where an uncle rapes his niece and she is forced to have his baby. And, in Oregon the rapist would get parental rights...

    I think my biggest problem is thinking of LGBQT and religion.

    Why Nobody Cares the President Is Lying

    MILWAUKEE — If President Trump’s first tumultuous weeks have done nothing else, at least they have again made us a nation of readers.

    As Americans grapple with the unreality of the new administration, George Orwell’s “1984” has enjoyed a resurgence of interest, becoming a surprise best seller and an invaluable guide to our post-factual world.

    On his first full day in office Mr. Trump insisted that his inaugural crowd was the largest ever, a baseless boast that will likely set a pattern for his relationship both to the media and to the truth.

    At an event marking Black History Month last week, the president took a detour from a discussion of Frederick Douglass — he described the abolitionist as “an example of somebody who’s done an amazing job and is being recognized more and more” — to talk about the press. “A lot of the media is actually the opposition party — they’re so biased,” he said. “So much of the media is the opposition party and knowingly saying incorrect things.”

    Mr. Trump understands that attacking the media is the reddest of meat for his base, which has been conditioned to reject reporting from news sites outside of the conservative media ecosystem.

    For years, as a conservative radio talk show host, I played a role in that conditioning by hammering the mainstream media for its bias and double standards. But the price turned out to be far higher than I imagined. The cumulative effect of the attacks was to delegitimize those outlets and essentially destroy much of the right’s immunity to false information. We thought we were creating a savvier, more skeptical audience. Instead, we opened the door for President Trump, who found an audience that could be easily misled.

    The news media’s spectacular failure to get the election right has made it only easier for many conservatives to ignore anything that happens outside the right’s bubble and for the Trump White House to fabricate facts with little fear of alienating its base.

    Unfortunately, that also means that the more the fact-based media tries to debunk the president’s falsehoods, the further it will entrench the battle lines.

    During his first week in office, Mr. Trump reiterated the unfounded charge that millions of people had voted illegally. When challenged on the evident falsehood, Sean Spicer, the White House press secretary, seemed to argue that Mr. Trump’s belief that something was true qualified as evidence. The press secretary also declined to answer a straightforward question about the unemployment rate, suggesting that the number will henceforth be whatever the Trump administration wants it to be.


    He can do this because members of the Trump administration feel confident that the alternative-reality media will provide air cover, even if they are caught fabricating facts or twisting words (like claiming that the “ban” on Muslim immigrants wasn’t really a “ban”). Indeed, they believe they have shifted the paradigm of media coverage, replacing the traditional media with their own.

    In a stunning demonstration of the power and resiliency of our new post-factual political culture, Mr. Trump and his allies in the right media have already turned the term “fake news” against its critics, essentially draining it of any meaning. During the campaign, actual “fake news” — deliberate hoaxes — polluted political discourse and clogged social media timelines.


    Some outlets opened the door, by helping spread conspiracy theories and indulging the paranoia of the fever swamps. For years, the widely read Drudge Report has linked to the bizarre conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, who believes that both the attacks of Sept. 11 and the Sandy Hook shootings were government-inspired “false flag” operations.

    For conservatives, this should have made it clear that something was badly amiss in their media ecosystem. But now any news deemed to be biased, annoying or negative can be labeled “fake news.” Erroneous reports that the bust of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. had been removed from the Oval Office or misleading reports that sanctions against Russia had been lifted will be seized on by Mr. Trump’s White House to reinforce his indictment.

    Some people seem to forget that the only people Jesus had an issue with were the self righteous.

    I don't have an apology for you. You're going to be waiting for a long time.

    Did you google it? You probably won't because it won't fit with your agenda.

    I don't have an agenda. I simply did the Google search and that's what I came up. I formulated my opinion based upon the search. So just because we disagree doesn't mean that I have some type of agenda. The bottom line is that white privilege exists in this country and you need to fucking stop acting like it doesn't. Until then this white supremacy will still continue to exist.

    They're slaves. Lincoln did not abolish slavery nor is he some great emancipator. He simply changed slavery. Go read the 13th Amendment and wake up.

    You're getting confused. White privilege is everywhere. I know it and you do too. In fact being over six feet tall and 300 lbs I get even more of it. I do things other white people don't and get away with it.

    Everywhere I go people say "how are you doing boss?"

    My wife notices it all the time.

    Back to google you latched on to a wrong idea based on one phrase that you googled. Do the Washington vs Nebraska search as I told you and you will see that you are wrong. You posting alt facts is like Trump lying about the murder rate. He's wrong and so are you.

    Now you're calling me an alt facter... FUCK YOU DUDE.

    I told you how I formulated my opinion. That didn't mean I blatantly said it knowing it was wrong. So kiss my ass!

    Edit: @SlyPokerDog Calling me a alt facter is fighting words.

    Not sure why you tagged me but it is nice that you're trying to end the argument with an offer of sex.
