Where and when did I ever question the President's religion or national origin.


Thank you for proving every comment about you being slow, dense or clueless. Show me where I said that you said that. (hint: I didn't)

You can't even tell one post from another anymore can you? Or is your PTSD riddled brain just set on me being your only antagonist so you read them as all being from me? When you get cut off in traffic do you scream "DAMMIT HDDJ!!!"

Fox news only exists as an offset to the liberal bias of much of the other media. Some people don't spend half of their day reading as I do. The classic example, today you'll read that housing starts went up 10%, but almost all of that was in apartment buildings..... long term projects and usually a one off item.


Wait, so now you're trying to pretend the lazy reporting that riddles all current MSM projects is actually "liberal bias?" Weak troll. 1/10


(btw, NPR, which is allegedly communist, reports those kinds of distinctions daily)

Joe's first clip is clearly out of context. But it's Hannity, it's an opinion show. It is accurate though that letting Bush tax cuts expire will raise virtually EVERYBODY's tax rates. But they designed to be temporary and reassessed at the time of their expiration. Now.

If I had to make an educated guess, I would think that at times in life you tend to underestimate how difficult something is going to be based on an assumption that if xyz persons are in abc place, it must be easy to get there.


Yeah here's the difference between me and you: I don't actually pretend to know anything about any of the people on this forum in real life based on posts made in political threads on climbing forums on the internet whereas you think that making such assumptions are "educated guesses."

Also, what in the christ are you talking about. Get where? In what place? Are you syphilitic?

Ah, the predictable false equivalence argument that Fox is just as far to the right as MSNBC is to the left. Fox peddles propaganda and knowingly pushes false information. It's essentially the communications arm of the GOP. The structural differences between Fox and the two other cable networks are so vast any comparison is simply ridiculous.

Spot-on earlier post from Ricky that I hate to see get buried.

They make money telling some folks exactly what they want to hear... the divisiveness is not in the news room. Its the dude sitting next to you, or the one down the hall.

Or posting on the taco.

One thing I've learned on the taco is that self deluded people will ignore all reasonable evidence they are wrong. Then they will latch onto the most crazy far left/right statements coming from the other side and use that to ignore reality and feel comfortable in their own misconceptions. Fox news and right wing radio makes tons of money doing this. Find crazy lefties and scare the gullible right wingers into believing they represent the majority of Democrats. Right wing and left wingers (i.e. conservatives and liberals) are the same type of people although they despise each other.

A left-wing friend of mine posted a link on her Facebook page a couple of days ago, essentially calling for an end to Fox News. Predictably, a similar thread shows up here. So much for independent thinking.

I DO have a theory about you and your career and I AM curious, if you must know. THAT is what all this is about. I just don't know that it is proper to air these issues out in public when it has more to do with a pet peeve I personally hold relative to career issues. That is ALL this is about.


LEB you are literally the Mr. Way of Supertopo.

enlighten us

How about a categorized list of "lies"


The MSM and the power structure lost control of the information flow years ago.

(Same thing has even happened in China)


They aren't geting it back without resorting to force.

(Something our resident Chavezistas seem to favor.)
