@RoastBeast, try to think of it in terms you're not so emotional about. Say someone said that the Yankees are awesome because they have six .300 hitters this year. This exchange is like if someone else pointed out that they don't have six .300 hitters this year, and a Yankees fans was like...

The second and third claims are false.

You're saying I'm not honest just because I believe in getting facts right. Like I said, I understand that you want NPR to be more supportive of GOP narratives, but that doesn't have any bearing on the fact that the piece that Berliner wrote was riddled with factual errors. It's not even clear...

But there is something to debate. The piece linked in the OP makes a bunch of objectively false claims to make his point. I understand that it speaks to something that feels emotionally true to you--that non-Republican sources of information are not reliable. But a serious examination of the...

But it's not actually a stated objective of the left (nevermind the fact that "the left" is not a single entity that can even state an objective). Read your own links. "For years, Democrats have been engaged in a debate over whether the party should shun the cable news giant or grudgingly use...

Everyone should know it. Yeah, very misleading survey that has been polluting the discourse for a while. Should be obvious bullshit, but here: https://www.usnews.com/banking/articles/the-average-savings-account-balance Median savings account balance is $8K. Median household net worth in...

Most Americans have a lot more than $1,000 in the bank. WTF?

"Oh well, I tried"

I think making frivolous accusations of murder (among other things) should be more discouraged than it is. The modern right is just really broken.

:) I didn't think you'd be able to spin away from that one.

What is the argument? Just that you think it will help your party and you don't believe in freedom or have any principles, no?

There's a strong basis of truth, though. Like, we know that the real divide is based on opinions, but Republicans don't think that their opinions are popular so they don't end up defending them on their merits, which leads to political debates being more about what is true, and rightists are on...

Well, I'm defending honesty. If you want to criticize them based on true things, have at it.

You've seen a Newsmax or Fox thread where people are calling for them to be shut down?

But in real life, this is a one-sided thing. You see it in this very thread that rightists want to shut down NPR because they don't think they are rightist enough.

Well, it's not a matter of opinion that he made a lot of errors that were central to his argument. And childish personal attacks on people who noticed the errors don't mean that he didn't make them.

LOL. You asked me what I thought about the guy being suspended. I said of course someone who publishes an error-filled rant against his employer on a rival site would face disciplinary action. Rather than address the point, you start trying to change the subject. You're the last person who can...

I think lying about and badmouthing the organization in the pages of a rival magazine is just really obviously something that should get you fired. Can't even imagine the argument for not firing him (attempting to distract with hackery is not an argument BTW).

I don't know that he was forced, but definitely. If you work for one publication and then print an error-filled rant about your employer in a rival one, I would not expect you to keep your job. I assume he was hoping to get fired and already has rightist billionaires lined up to make him rich...

"Question beliefs" isn't it. Very telling that you think it is. You don't seem to think that people should think for themselves (which is what questioning beliefs is). In the movie, the villain is uses various tricks to make his victim think she's going crazy (that her sensory perception is...
