> [@doorhinge](#): > > If it wasn’t for media outlets like Fox, the public wouldn’t hear anything about many of the important issues of the day. Like ol’ Hillary’s email scandal. Shhhhhhhh. It’s like a great, big, political secret or something. Shhhhhhhh, keep the secret: it was the [New York Times](http://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/03/us/politics/hillary-clintons-use-of-private-email-at-state-department-raises-flags.html?_r=0) that [broke the Clinton email story](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/03/20/new-york-times-clinton-email-scoop_n_6911502.html), not Faux. Oops, I forgot, all you listen to is Faux, so if Faux doesn’t say it, it doesn’t exist. Gotta love your logic. ---

Sure, the _Times_ printed the story first, but the story isn’t really broken until Fox gets ahold of it. ---

Fox breaks pretty much everything it gets its hands on, including breaking the objectivity, breaking the facts, and breaking the credibility. ---

> [@El\_Kabong](#): > > I keep confusing **doorbean** and **Stringhinge** , or whoever they are. Could someone help me keep them straight? Stringbean is an “I’m not a racist but…” racist. He really, really wants to say nigger, but he can’t, and that upsets him. doorhinge is a fucking idiot who has convinced himself that using phrases such as “good ol Hillary’s good ol’ email account” makes him sound smart. One thing I will say about doorhinge… He really doesn’t seem to be racist, he just stupidly follows whatever path conservative media tells him to follow. ---

One thing you learn from this here Dope board, is that liberals are always right, and only other people are ever wrong about anything. And they are not just wrong, they are wrong on purpose, and so stupid they don’t even know they are wrong. ---

If they are wrong on purpose…that is to say, if they chose to be wrong…then how could they do that without knowing which thing is wrong? ---

> [@jsgoddess](#): > > Oh dear. You haven’t met Elvis, I guess. You lucky bastard. Well, it’s not universally true. But look through the “Stupid Liberal Idea of the Day” thread; some of the offered ideas get disagreed and debated, but you’ll also see “yeah, that is a stupid idea” and it’s over after a few posts.
