    Which proves the Elvis is alive and man has never landed on the moon. The moon landing was a giant hoax perpetrated by Hollywood. Fake, fake, fake.

    About a year ago @Denny Crane suggested a website called “Real Clear Politics”. I’ve been going there every morning to try and winkle out possible truths. The website itself leans conservatively in general, but it’s a compilation of news and stories across the political spectrum. If there’s an obviously conservative piece, right behind it is an obviously liberal piece. I appreciate being able to read both takes before making up my mind (if I’m even able to do so). Then I try to fill in the gaps with other media resources that interest me. But I do my very best to stay away from obvious partisan propaganda outlets like Fox and CNN. They are utterly cringeworthy and anyone who uses them to buttress their side of any debate has no credibility whatsoever (to me at least). Otherwise I just hunker down, put my fingers in my ears and and hum heavy metal tunes to myself to keep the harmful noises out.......

    bravo! all those stations including MSNBC are not but propaganda throwing stations and they all thrive and survive on stirring up frenzy laden positions that are no longer unbiased.
    Journalism has been the strong arm for these radical's on both sides.

    I watch different networks and read different websites but really I also just listen to the words that come out of people’s mouths. There is no bias that way. For instance you either say grab em by the pussy or you don’t. You either mock a disabled person or you don’t. You either call immigrants rapists or you don’t. No need to worry about twisting or slanting the message. It just is what it is.

    was at a bar one time with my dad and uncle kenny knockin' back a couple coca colas. uncle kenny had convinced one of the local women to come and sit in his lap. in walked my aunt.....
    after she got done berating the no good so and so, kenny stood up, and with a completely straight face asked my aunt, who was she gonna' believe, him or her lyin' eyes!
    didn't have fake news back then.

    You do say you CAN grab em by the pussy and have everyone on Earth say that you DO grab em by the pussy. Even after you've said you just kiss them without asking.
